The Lego Show

Dear all,

Today was the first day that the Lego Show was actually open for the general public and we have had a lot of visitors. The day turned out to be a less stressful  than I initially expected, because once everything was running there was not much more work to do, than to keep it running. The fist half of the day I was situated at the information desk and helped at a train display. The second half of the day I was in charge of the museum, which did however did not require full-time attention. So I bought the last few parts I needed for my MOC, which I designed yesterday using the bricks in the Legoland Discovery Center. The MOC is actually a Lego version of the The Lego Show logo, a lego man named Sid. Below I will upload some pictures of the logo and my model

The Legoland Discovery Center was extremely cool yesterday, all adults going on rides originally intended for children. Furthermore when one of the employees challenged one of the afols to build as high a tower as he could, within a couple of minutes the tower was (LIKE A UBER BAUS), so high that it nearly touched the ceiling of the building. It was therefore that the same employee was urging (or shouting at is probably more true to reality) us to put the tower down due to safety issues. Furthermore there was a workshop where the afols were told how to build a small model of a bee. One of the afols again viewed this as a challenge and started (LIKE A UBER BAUS) building a huge bee. I hereby imply that this bee was significantly bigger than the t
model!

Now jumping back to the present we also had another afol session today Signe Lonholdt, she works for the new Lego fan platform Rebrick. So she explained the working, purpose and fun of Rebrick. You can find Rebrick at rebrick.lego.com.

Tomorrow will be my last day here and I will take the a flight back to Amsterdam, but first I will enjoy another great day at The Lego Show and I will hopefully be able to upload pictures of some of the great MOC's at the show. For anybody that is still wondering weather of not to come to the show, it is absolutely worth it and amazing ....
