Dragonfly by Gabe Umland

This Dragonfly has everything it needs. I love olive-green, and this creation puts it to great use.
I had the pleasure of meeting Gabe and seeing this MOC at BrickFair New England. It was definitely one of the highlights of the trip, hanging out with Gabe, that is, not seeing the Dragonfly. Though that was quite cool too.

See it on Mocpages and Flickr.

LEGO Architecture 21018 United Nations Headquarters

While I was away at BrickFair, lots of stuff happened. For one, LEGO revealed their latest Architecture  set: 21018 United Nations Headquarters.
The set contains 597 pieces and hopefully will have a reasonable price point.
Gotta love all that Maersk blue!

Thanks to Toysnbricks for the info!

BrickFair NE is Here!

BrickFair New England has arrived! For those of you that are exhibitors, you are probably already at the convention, enjoying the two exhibitor-only days before the public arrives.
This is the first LEGO fan convention in New England, and hopefully not the last! In fact, it has turned out to be quite the event, with it sizing up to be larger than the 2nd BrickFair Alabama.

The public days are Saturday and Sunday. I hope you plan on attending. It will be a weekend to remember. I'll be there Friday and Saturday. Looking at all the cool MOCs and meeting other LEGO fans. If you stop by, don't forget to say hi to me.

Forest Town by Yoshi X

Those of you that attended BrickFair Alabama were lucky enough to see Yoshi X's Forest Town. It is quite a large diorama, with autumn colored leaves decorating the trees. And a grave yard full of zombies.
How he managed to get the whole thing to the convention I'll never know. But I sure wish I could've attended. To see this in person would be awesome. But pictures will have to suffice.

See it on Mocpages.

Operation Brick Freedom Brickfair 2013

You may remember the awesome Operation Brick Freedom MOC from BrickFair Virginia this year. The MOC was huge, detailed, and had some great builders participating in it.
The OPBF team will be back for BrickFair Alabama in January next year. And they need your help to make it even better than this year!
Interested individuals or groups should contact Michael ($Deltaforceguy$ from Flickr) at the OPBF website Operationbrickfreedom.webs.com, or on his Flickr.

Get in on the building and sign up for Operation Brick Freedom!

Brickfair New Hampshire 2013

Officially announced today, Brickfair will now enlarge the amount of LEGO conventions in the United States by adding a third Brickfair. But unlike all other LEGO conventions, this one is in New Hampshire. This marks the first LEGO fan convention in New England. Brickfair NE will be from May 9th through 13th 2013.

I am very excited about this news. New England has wanted LEGO conventions for years. And finally, NEFOL's (New England Fans Of LEGO) have gotten what they want. Brickfair Virginia is the largest LEGO convention in the US, so hopefully this one will be a good size. Big thank you to Todd and the Brickfair team for setting this up! You guys rock!
