(...) Matt, Don't worry about it, the price is great. Come on people you spend $75.00 on one set without blinking and you won't spend as much to hang out with the BEST of the BEST of Lego building. Matt is taking a big risk by putting on this event. (...) (23 years ago, 2-Dec-01, to lugnet.events.brickswest)

(...) I don't think it can be avoided. I too found the price steep, but after thinking about it, I'm a bit surprised it isn't higher. Unlike a conference, it's not bankrolled by a company.

Huh. $75 is small compared to staying in a hotel for 2-3 nights in California. Not to mention transportation to get there from out of state. I think I spent $75 on gas and tolls for Brickfest. But that's just my lives-far-away calculation. Matt's (...) (23 years ago, 3-Dec-01, to lugnet.events.brickswest)

(...) You mean "an extra $235"? I know that it was my initial reaction, at least. The obvious solution, I'd think, would be to give folks the option to opt out of the LEGOLAND trip, or not to include it-- some folks may not really want to go, and (...)
