could use them in the display!

...Last year we had a nearly compleat collection of technic/expert
builder, including all the "supercars". We had a display of the model
team sets. A nearly castle-compeat set display. Other highlights
include the Constellation (398), some boxes and sets from the early
80s and several 1970s early system sets and even a few boxes dating
back to the 60s.

...If you would like to contribute to the display, please drop a note
into the lugnet.events.brickfest group. I'm hoping to compile a list
of sets we plan to have so I can make display cards of some type. (a
list of set numbers would be wonderful. I can use it to help
eliminate duplicates so not too many people bring the same thing :-)

I have a 590 Engine Co. 9, complete with box, instructions, and sticker
sheet with only one sticker used which I would like to bring. I also
have a 588 Police Station to bring. If we want to see how many Yellow
Castles we can collect in one place, I'd be happy to bring mine. I do
also have some classic space sets if there would be interest (primary
would be 924 and 6971). I can also bring old idea books and many of the
various books (8890, 250, 200, 8891, 6000, 226, 697, 260, The Gate of
the Present, The Ultimate LEGO Book, 50 Years of Play, The World of
LEGO Toys, Jim Spaceborn - The Unknown Galaxy). I can also bring old
catalogs, and old Mania magazines. Another item of interest would be
6086 with both a "Dungeon Master's Castle" and "Black Knight's Castle"
boxes.

I've also got a nearly complete collection of the original Scala
jewelry sets (they've got nifty printed tiles). They are all sorted
into my collection, but I can bring a representative sample, and the
boxes).

I've probably got a few more things.

Since I hope to fill my wagon mostly with Pirate stuff, any of this
stuff someone else is bringing I can leave behind (or for example in
the case of 6086, I can bring just the box).

...Definitely bring pirate first! :-) any other historical interesting
things you can pack in would be great!





Area Coordinators (Pirate, Castle, Train): Displays appropriate to
your areas should prolly just be coordinated primarily through you
and stationed in your rooms. I'll just make up the cards and give
them to you to work with at the fest if you tell me what sets u will
have.

I think I'm coordinating the Pirate room? I'd love folks to bring stock
sets, since I will be trying to optimize for the game, I'd like to
leave as many sets behind as possible, so please let us know what sets
you might be able to bring. I'd love to have a display featuring all
the ships and other major sets. Also, let me know if you're willing to
have the set used in the game (I anticipate using a few sets like 6277,
and if someone can bring it and we can use it in the game, then that's
one less thing for me to squeeze into my Wagon).

...Whatever sets you find out people are bringing that you want to have
display cards for, just tell me the list and I'll have the cards there
(plus lots of blanks for other labeling of MOCs and other cool things
:-)


One contribution I will definitely bring is my Pirate comic collection
(3 of the 4 Ladybird books, and 6255 in both US and UK versions, and
possibly Italian [I'm currently negotiating to buy the Italian
version]).

...That would be cool! I'd love to see foreign boxes or instructions
just to see how similar and different they are (the bricks are the same
