Greg – that is a great job and a great idea! Would be perfect for the holiday giveaways!

I also have not really participated in the LEGO Ideas contests in the past, but I have been working on something for this one. I have it built in real bricks, and am just working on the Stud.i.o stuff now… a bit of a pain, since I have to disassemble to f…[Read more]

Thanks. LEGO Ideas is just a tough process all around and just does not have very good odds of success. This is the second time that we have been in the review process, and it is probably my last attempt. We still did get a lot of great experiences out of it, and thanks to all that have helped to support our little endeavor.

Thank you my friend. I know that it is a bit of a long shot, but regardless of the outcome I have appreciated the experience and all of the support. Thank you again!

Congrats Krista! That is really awesome!

That is really cool!!! Now that color is perfect for that!

Awesome job Will!!! Congrats and let me know if you have any questions about the process. I am happy to share anything that I know. LEGO Ideas is hard but it can be a lot of fun. Looks like you are off to a pretty good start on day 1.

Lol! You would be surprised. All you need is a bunny suit minifig and it will click instantly 🙂

Looking awesome! I originally used yellow because I really didn’t even know how to procure the other colors at that point. The real color is almost a dark mustard color… not sure if LEGO makes that.

Thanks so much! Now comes the hard part… waiting.

Not sure if you saw it, but my absolute favorite story that was done was from WTAE in Pittsburgh:

Thanks so much for the shout out! We can hardly believe it. Just hit that magic number last night. Thanks so much to the SteelCity LUG for all of the support! Most of the bricks in the prototype were purchased through the…[Read more]

lol… my mom actually sent me that article without reading it last night. We were both surprised to learn that we got a mention! Too bad that they didn’t include the LEGO site link since it has been shared over 2K times. Oh well… trying to line up some media coverage this holiday season and there will be a story on WTAE later this month, so be su…[Read more]

Thought you folks might enjoy this… I had a lot more to say about the LUG and the Brick Fest event that was omitted, but it did get a mention lol…

I am glad that I get to write this in an email because I have no voice left. Just wanted to say that it was great seeing/meeting you all at the convention, and thanks to all that made it happen. Even though I get to interact in person so few times with everyone, it has been great when I have had the chance. Nice job to all who displayed, and it…[Read more]

Great! Thank you. Looking forward to the event and seeing everyone.

I was just contacted by an Indiana PA radio station to do an interview. Not sure how much time I will have, but I plan to talk a little about the LUG and the event this weekend. It is a little far from the event, but perhaps can bring some more awareness.

Was there a final verdict on whether we can setup until 7pm on Friday? I probably won’t get into town until after 5, so I hope so.

Yes! I certainly am. I will have all of the A Christmas Story builds along with the It’s A Wonderful Life ones and a couple of others.

It will be just my daughter and me, so would need passes for the two of us. Thanks!

Definitely getting excited about the event next month. I reached out to the Jimmy Stewart museum, and they were super excited about the It’s a Wonderful LEGO Life project, so my daughter Jane and I will be stopping there (Indiana PA) before setting up for Brick Fest Friday night. They also commissioned me to build them the set (I am donating the l…[Read more]

We will be driving down on Friday, actually hoping to make a quick stop at the Jimmy Stewart Museum, and then could probably get to the Convention Center to setup around 5. We are going to stay at the Doubletree, which I think is a attached or very close.
