So, in case you didn't know, they've also asked a bunch of local LUG groups to
help out at these shows by showing up with their own creations in order to get
the creative juices flowing among the crowds (hopefully) of kids that show up to
these events.

This weekend, however, they held a 'pre' event at their US headquarters in
Enfield to get a feel for the flow of the road show. They invited Lego
employees, their families, AND us! (being NELUG).

I took a bunch of pictures (sadly my camera was in the wrong light setting, so
they're a little ... uh.. "pastelly" at the moment), as did Dan & Jenn Boger:

All in all, a most entertaining event-- despite scattered rain, we had a great
time, met slews of Lego employees, and got to take a gander at the Lego grounds
themselves :)


   Lots of nice creations, and a good job showing them off.  I especially love
the details and humor in the medieval layout.  The underground cut-aways are
superb!
