Brickcon 09: Good for something!

4 10 2009

In short: I attended Brickcon 09. It was pretty fun, exhausting, and a lot like the floor of the NYSE. And at times a bit underwhelming. It seemed to rely more on grand spectacle (I stuck everything I own together!) instead of tight well done pieces. Those were there to (I will post picks soon enough) just sometimes overshadowed by jokers. BUT lego themselves did announce something quite grand…

Behold this beast. As the lego pirates line meets its close they have decided to go out in some seriously grand style. Though i certainly have some issues with certain parts of the set there is a lot to like. This is about as close to the Master and Commander license as i’m ever going to see.  What I also gathered from the show is that I can hold my own against these guys no problem next year. Shits going to get dorky!

More Lego goodness.

I stumbled across this at Fark.com.  I don’t enjoy Lego nearly as much as I used to, but this was really fun to see.
