As one of the “fest proliferators” I would like to add my 2 cents...
We decided to create Brickworld because there was no centrally located large
AFOL event and we believe that there are many midwest, mountain and west coast
AFOLs that would have a better opportunity to attend an event in Chicago. Our
belief is that the community is growing and we like the thought of a growing
community because it adds strength to LEGO and a broader future for our favorite
way to spend time.
My personal point of view: I don’t attend events on the west coast because it
is too far to take my toys without paying to ship them (ie - I can’t drive
there). I DO attend BrickFest and intend to continue attending BrickFest. My
support for existing events has not changed. I still want to get to Brick Bash
(Duane’s event). I still participate in LafLRC, Chibots and Science Central
robotics competitions...and it seems like we always do a GBC display at these
events.
So - I don’t see proliferation as dilution at this point.
My opinion for what its worth.
