First and foremost, Dirty Brickster and Dirty Buildster are two different
events. Please don’t confuse the two. Please do get involved in both.
For those those who have been to some of the larger adult LEGO fest in the U.S.
in the last few years you probably already know the rules and your just looking
for the dollar amount. So, to cut to the chase it’s $10.00 like usual and we’re
doing it on Friday evening. Have a nice day, and see ya in June. :)
For the rest of the new comers, welcome aboard! What’s Dirty Brickster? I’m
glad you asked. If it was happening around X-mas for a gift exchange it would
be called something like “Naughty Santa”. But it’s not so it isn’t. But it is
still very much a gift exchange. Everyone who wants to join in brings a $10.00
Lego gift. It has to be official LEGO product and the original retail value
has to be or add up to $10.00. If you manage to find a $10.00 set on sale for
$3.00 that’s fine but if you find a $20.00 set on sale for $10.00 that’s even
better. You can also give several smaller things that add up to $10.00 but they
should be wrapped in one box, not several boxes. If your giving a actual LEGO
set (which most people do) then it should be unopened. If your giving an
opened set then it should be at least several years old and have some kind of
undisputed value as something of historic value or something a collector would
want. If you question if you gift is legit you can always ask me. Your gift has
to be wrapped so people can’t tell what it is. You can have fun with this and
putting a smaller gift in a larger box before you wrap it is completely
acceptable. For those of you flying in and not checking your luggage please
remember don’t wrap it before you get here. (It’s an airport security thing)
If you can wrap it before hand please do. There is always people running around
at the last minute looking for bags and such to mask their gift with. Please
come prepared. Wrapping your gift in something odd is always fun, Sunday
comics, old Lego posters, aluminum foil (your a LEGO fan, get creative).
THE GAME: Everyone puts their gift into a pile and gets a ticket. If we have
over 40 people enter we may opt to split into two groups to make things move
along faster. We draw a ticket to see who goes first and that person choses a
gift from the pile and unwraps it. We draw a second ticket and the person with
that ticket has the option of either drawing a gift from the pile or stealing
the first persons gift. If he steals it from the first person the first person
takes another gift from the pile. The person with the third drawn ticket would
therefore get to steal from person one or two or the pile. Likewise, if they
stole from any of the previous players then they in turn would get to either
take from the pile or steal from someone else. You can not steal back from
someone who just stole from you, but if that gift is stolen again by someone
else then you can steal it back from the second person who stole it. (confused
yet?) Once a gift is stolen three times (the fourth person to hold it) it is
LOCKED and can not be stolen again. Hence, if it’s a great gift you may not
want to even bother stealing it early in the game because someone will probably
grab it from you. Once all the tickets are drawn and the pile is gone the first
person gets one last turn to steal a gift that is not locked. This is because
since he went first he didn’t have a chance to steal from anyone at all.
The game can be really fun and can take a while to get through depending on how
much stealing is taking place. Hope you chose to join us.
Please let Steve know if you have any questions.

First, in the interest of full disclosure, I would like to say that I have participated in several of these Dirty Brickster events and have always come away feeling positive about what I ended up with, (...)
