AFOLCON is almost here!

 

  • AFOLCON is almost here!

    Posted by Huw, 01 May 2012 14:56. Filed under Events (UK).

    Just one day to go until the start of what promises to be the biggest and best LEGO event the UK has ever seen!

    Are you going? If so, let me know in the comments. Will you be there Wednesday evening? I'm travelling up by train tomorrow and will get there late afternoon. If you're going to be in Manchester too then drop me a line and maybe we can meet someplace. I'm staying at the Copthorne Hotel, Salford Quays and will be at AFOLCON Thursday and Friday, and the Saturday morning of The LEGO Show.

    AFOLCON special!The first 50 people that come and say hi to me during the events will be given a 1x8 brick printed with the Brickset logo!

It's only a 50-minute car journey for me, but sadly I can't make it! I hope you guys have a blast though - eagerly awaiting the news over the next couple of days :o)

Posted by brankell5566 in Canada, 01 May 2012 21:01

Craving one of those Brickset engraved bricks, too bad I'm in Canada. :-/

Posted by GothamConstructionCo in United Kingdom, 01 May 2012 22:57

Deeply disappointed I'm unable to attend but work and family must come first.
I do however look forward to the news and reviews as they break.

To all who make the show, have a great time and hope you have plenty to talk about.

Posted by luckyruss in United Kingdom, 02 May 2012 02:09

Not until Friday morning for me, so no chance of a brick! Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Posted by CapnRex101 in United Kingdom, 02 May 2012 02:48

I cannot go again this year. Quite frustrating really but next year for sure I will be there. I will be at Swindon too later this year.

Posted by Huw in United Kingdom, 02 May 2012 03:30

I'm touching down in Manchester later today, unfortunately I'm at Monton House (miles away from the venue). Note to everybody, I'm not from Zimbabwe!

Posted by khmellymel in China, 02 May 2012 11:04

I wish! I've got exams, UGH.

Posted by luckyruss in United Kingdom, 02 May 2012 12:33

^^^^^ thanks Huw, I will do! Unfortunately, the origin of the "lucky" was ironic ...

Have fun tonight / tomorrow all.

Posted by Rockman Xtreme in United States, 02 May 2012 16:14

Have fun! Wait... Huw has a facebook? :D LOL

Posted by stu241273 in United Kingdom, 02 May 2012 16:30

I questions! I'm coming to the Lego Show on Sunday, bringing the kids. How long should we plan on spending in the show? Will parking be a issue, and what would you recommend for food? As you can tell we're show virgins.

Thanks.

Posted by madaboutlego in Ireland, 02 May 2012 17:21
