Hi All,
Well we have an official BrickFest PDX hotel, the Red Lion. Details and photos
are on the BrickFest PDX web site (http://pdx.brickfest.com/hotels.php). The
Red Lion is located across the northeast corner from the Oregon Convention
Center, about a 3 minute walk (maybe a 1 min walk actually) from the OCC front
doors. It is also directly on the MAX (PDX light rail) train line; which comes
directly from the airport (less then $2.00). Newly remodeled, this is one of the
nicest hotels in the area, and includes a big lobby with online PC free to
guests (20 minute limit courtesy).
Special BrickFest Rate: $69/night (regular $110/night). I have heard that others
have found other hotel rates for slightly cheaper (~$5/night) but they are
either farther away or much lower quality (according to Steve Barile who has
personally been to all of them!). We aren’t getting any kick backs from the
hotel, I just think it would be a lot of fun to all be in the same place…
midnight lobby parties etc…

Don't know if anyone in here is in this area, but the Orem, Utah Wal-Mart
has one Republic Gunship and one UCS Yoda left as of last night. I picked
up the gunship a week ago there, and thought it was the only one--this other
one must have been stashed elsewhere.
Happy hunting!

Last night while in Dan's Food's in Layton, Utah, I picked up the Jungle
Surprise set 1271 for $3.69, Ninja Blaster 1099 for $2.79, and the White Ninja
1269 for $3.69. I had not seen these sets for sale in Utah before. I thought
I would share this info. in case any of you are interested. These sets were
in a nice, cardboard display stand provided by the LEGO Company.

I stopped by the Layton TRU tonight (7/20) and noticed that ZNAP sets are on
sale for 50% off. There was an abundance of inventory on an end cap.
The best deal appeared to be for a ZNAP set with Technic motor and battery
box: $10.

The northern Utah Shopko stores are now at their lowest clearance stage. Some
of the deals to be had are: Mos Espa Pod race at $31. Mission Control: $28,
Amazon Ancient Ruins, $28. There are numerous Rock Raiders, Adventures and a
few Ninja items at super low prices as well. The small sets are going fast
but there still seems to be plenty of big sets available. They will all
likely be gone after this Saturday. Good luck!

AWESOME! thanks for the tip, ashley.
i really don't have the money but couldn't pass up the 5986 amazon ancient
ruins for $45.00 and 4970 chrome crusher for $16.00. in my opinion, these
prices more closely reflect what the sets are worth.
i don't get the opportunities to shop for the discounts so i REALLY appreciate
it when the local fans post sale info like this.

The Centerville Target store received four more King Leo's castle sets and
they still ring up at $53.99. The Destroyer Droid is ringing up at $29.99.
If you are in Utah, here's your chance to get a good deal on some current sets.

I was able to acquire four of the new soccer sets and will try to bring them
to the next WAFOL gathering. I picked them up yesterday on a business trip to
Minneapolis. While in Minneapolis, I also acquired some Darth Maul keychains
that I would be happy to trade for miniland scale people and/or parts.

Jason finally contacted me today! Apparently, he was on a "spur of the
moment two week vacation". Anyway, he stated that my winnings have been
shipped.
Thanks for your testimonials.
