Good afternoon everyone,
If you have not heard, Brickworld 2013 will be held at a new home - The
Renaissance Hotel & Convention Center in Shaumburg, IL. This move is in
response to the attendees desire to hold the event in a single room. We will be
starting this year with a 50,000 square foot room for the fun.
This will be an entirely new and fun experience for all the attendees.
You can learn more at Brickworld’s web site.
Also, Geek Nation Tours will be hosting a special tour to the event if they
generate enough interest. Stay tuned as they will post additional information.
As always, we look forward to seeing everyone at the event in June.
Warm Regards,
Adam, Bryan and the entire Brickworld Team

Had a great time there.
Looking forward to Brick World 2012.
I hope I ran into you over at the show.
I actually got to watch the boat races this year!

This info has been on classic-castle.com and the Brickworld website for a
while, but I figured I ought to post here too, just in case. If this is your
first time reading this, and you’re thinking, “Aaaah! There’s only a couple of
weeks left before Brickworld. I can’t build anything in time now!” don’t worry.
The Holy Grail scene challenge can easily be made of vignettes, which can be
done in an afternoon.
Hello all. I will once again be coordinating the
Castle display near Brickworld in Chicago.
And now for something completely different...
Last year, we had a few
builders bring some great MOC’s that were from the movie
Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
(Attacking French
castle, Trojan Rabbit) As is often the case with LEGO, creations from one
builder inspire creations from others, and there were some people talking about
how they’d like to build such-&-such scene from the movie. Armothe from
Brickforge said it would be cool if a bunch of
people made different scenes from Monty Python the the Holy Grail and lined them
up in chronological order. Yes... yes, that would be cool, wouldn’t it? :D
Here’s the plan
• There are 36 scenes in the movie to build. If you know
for sure that you’re coming to Brickworld 2011, then you may call dibs, by
posting a reply in this thread or emailing me, on a scene to build. If you call
a scene, and then for whatever reason you find out that you’re not going to be
able to come to Brickworld or not going to build the scene, you’ll need to post
ASAP that you’re relinquishing your claim on building that particular scene so
that someone else may claim it. The people who made the Holy Grail scenes last
year, get first grabs on the scenes that they already made, assuming that
they’re coming to Brickworld again this summer.
• There is no size
restriction on the scene. It can be a vignette; it can be colossal. One green BP
will probably do for most scenes.
• 36 is quite a large number of scenes for
a building challenge. It is not necessary for us to build all 36. Even just a
dozen would make a great display.
• We will have designated area for lining
up the Holy Grail scenes in the order in which they appear in the film.
Hopefully someone has a portable DVD player that they would be willing to place
at one end and let it play the real movie during public hours (but not very loud
so that it doesn’t become a nuisance to those who are close to it all day
long).
• Here are the 36 scenes:
1. Arthur talking to guys about swallows
and coconuts
2. Bring out your dead - Brickule
3. Arthur talking to Dennis
and filth searcher
4. The Black Knight - fighting the Green Knight
5. The
Black Knight - fighting Arthur - David Gregory
6. Forehead-smacking monks
7.
Witch trial
8. Arriving at Camelot
9. Knights of the Round Table
10. Vision
from the Lord
11. French taunting
12. Trojan Rabbit - Brickule
13. Famous
historian gets killed
14. Sir Robin meets 3-headed knight
15. Sir Galahad at
Castle Anthrax
16. Knights of Ni
17. Police investigate dead historian
18.
Bloody weather
19. Swamp king talking to son and guards
20. Sir Lancelot
attacks wedding
21. Arthur acquiring shrubbery
22. Presenting shrubbery to
Knights Who Until Recently Said Ni
23. Police taking body of dead historian
24. Eating Robin’s minstrels in the frozen land of Nodor
25. Meeting Tim the
Enchanter - Brickule
26. Entrance to the Cave of Caer Bannog
27. Holy Hand
Grenade
28. Reading the inscription in the cave
29. Legendary Black Beast of
Aaaahrg
30. Animator suffers a heart attack
31. Bridge of Death
32. Intermission
33. Lancelot getting arrested
34. Sailing to Castle Aahg
35. French taunting #2
36. Police stop Arthur’s charge - David Gregory
The theme of Brickworld this year is 5. I’m quite sure that this theme can be
incorporated into at least a few of the scenes. :P I think it would be great if
we could build enough trees/forest to be lined up behind all the scenes. It
would only need to be a thin strip; half BP’s would do. However, the background
trees would just be icing on the cake—the scenes themselves are the main
priority.
Please also remember to fill out the “MOC info” on the Brickworld
site once you’ve registered. (This is for all MOC’s, not just Castle ones.) If
you plan on including a Castle MOC in the collaborative display, make sure to
choose the “Classic Castle City” option in the drop-down menu of your MOC
registration. Feel free to mention any Castle MOC’s you’re bringing in this
thread as well.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email me
or reply here.

Hello everyone,
We are happy to announce that Brickworld registration is now open. We have been
hard at work performing a complete overhaul on the registration process. In
response to your feedback in the survey after last year’s event, we have done a
couple things to the event. Some items that impact registration:
1.There are now 2 types of registration: Full and light. These are described on
the web site. But, essentially, full registration is for someone that is
contributing to the event and partaking in the workshops and presentations.
Light registration is for families that want to show up Friday afternoon, see
the event hall without the public, participate in weekend non-public activities,
and learn from the AFOLs and TFOLs.
2.The full registration will be capped at 650 people to keep things from being
unmanagable.
3.When you register for the event, you aren’t considered registered until you
pay (the new process leads you through this)
4.The event will start on Wednesday evening with opening ceremonies later in the
evening. This will lead to having most of the display space available for MoC
setup starting on Thursday morning instead of Thursday evening. Essentially, we
are spreading the event out a bit so it is more relaxing for everyone. The
survey feedback indicated there was too much happening in too small a space in
time.
Don’t forget to sign up for your hotel rooms too. Last year the hotel filled up.
And, if you are a first time attendee, everyone will tell you that it makes the
event a lot more fun to be at the hotel.
You can register at the Brickworld web site.
We hope you like the new process and the changes to the event. We are all very
excited about Brickworld 2011.
We hope to see you all in Chicago at the Westin North Shore in Wheeling, IL.
June 15th through 19th.
Warm Regards, The Brickworld Team

Hey everyone...
Just a teaser...
We have been working hard to get ready for Brickworld 2011. There are several
changes coming to the event based on your feedback in the survey over the
summer. As always, there is room for improvement and we are doing our best for
you.
Registration will open soon. Stay tuned for more information as we get closer to
the holidays.
Best Regards,
The Brickworld Team
