Along these lines how about grouping all the Town people together and the
Castle people together etc. and allowing them to create huge cities or layouts
using everyones creations. My guess it that would be something to see.

How about any type of layout from any of the LEGO clubs? NELUG has done a
large Star Wars layout and we are currently working on a large Castle themed
layout. I would think things like this would be interesting as well. I love
the train layouts myself but its also nice to see some variety.

As part of something like this I would like to hear what TLC's perception of
AFOL's are and if they think we represent a significant part of their market,
especially outside of MINDSTORMS where the adult market has been documented
well already.

I like this idea too although I would have it higher on my list.

| (...) Here's my top 10 for what I'd like to see at a LEGO convention: 1) a display area that shows every AFOL attending's own favorite creation. 2) a seminar on the history of LEGO (I'd love to participate in this one). 3) an exhibit of LEGO sets (...) (25 years ago, 25-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)
