Today I woke up in the Etap Hotel in Manchester, here I had breakfast. Then I went over to the Copthorne hotel (also in Manchester), where I met the other staff members of The Lego Show.
Next we split up into two groups, Dirk and Kitty went to the Legoland experience center (in the Trafford center) in order to provide minifigs of three radio hosts which will complete a part of our record breaking mosaic, Warren, Sonja and me went to pick up some additional stuff for the show. We also visited the Lego UK building where all the in-store displays are stored.
While driving to and from we discovered that the satnav on Warren's phone was experiencing gender issues, for it was using both a female and a male voice. Furthermore we bought some supplies for during the event, it must however be noted here that only 1/3 of all the sweets we bought will actually be consumed at the show, for the rest is now residing on a Marko parking lot .
When we all arrived back at the hotel, I discovered that Dirk and Kitty had also created an entire radio station as well as the minifigs, next we started building the exclusive preview sets!
Including the Lord of the Rings sets and one set which was "significantly awesome" .
This was a considerable honor! Sonja did however found out by experiment that the largest Lord of the Rings set "The battle of Helm's Deep" takes several hours to build and she has still not yet manged to complete this epic build. This is mainly due to the dense building style which is reflected in the entire Lord of the Rings series, this makes the sets look solid and extremely detailed. In the afternoon Warren and Dirk had to pick up and drop of some things and they, I quote "Got lost loads and loads of times in the van", which I assume may have caused some frustration. During dinner we discussed the entire run-book of the show, so that the entire organization may function as a well-oiled machine.
Tomorrow we will be handling deliveries inside the Event City venue, hopefully we will also be able to start to setting up stuff for the show....
