So, last minute decision, booked a flight up. Not gonna have much room since I'm flying but I'll try and bring a bag or two of figs at least. Also, I have Harold.

Hey all! I am once again coordinating what was Castle at Bricks by the Bay, March 25-27th in Santa Clara, California. I say "was" because the category has been renamed "Fantasy and Historical" to better encompass Castle, Pirate, Historical, Steampunk, etc. A number of things: 1. ...

And you all better f'in be there.

30"x45" is doable for sure, more if you want it, and 4 houses should be plenty - I think I only borrowed 3 from you at BrickCon.

Hey Tom, can you bring a few houses again? I'm bringing the same display as at BrickCon, was gonna build a few more of my own to flesh it out but running out of time.

Hot Megablocks! You are most welcome, sir!

So anybody gonna make it down for this? We have 150 people signed up so far but I didn't recognize any CC'ers offhand...

If you finish it by April you should bring it down to Cali for BBTB

I'd rather use cheap home depot plywood so those measurements from somebody who already knows them would be great if not it's not a difficult task to measure them myself. 9.6mm or roughly 3/8ths of an inch. ;) It doesn't matter if it's a little off, it's not very noticeable when a whole display is ...

Oh wow. :o That's amazing! It's not just a pop-up book, more a pop-up MOC, pop-up set even with the brick-built box...such a fantastic, creative idea and brilliant execution! Some Japanese builders really blow my mind, I always look forward to the vignette contest that one toy store has every year.

Nice writeup doom, it was also great meeting you. Glad you could make it up.

New things popping up on brickset that I haven't seen mentioned here. For one, large bodies of water are once again viable! http://brickset.com/detail/?Set=620-3 In addition there's all the Atlantis stuff, a couple of the new space police (with 1x3 tiles as mentioned in a different thread), town etc...
