Well folks, it’s finally here! The first all-Australian public LEGO fan
expo, Brickvention 2006!

Hmmm, $50.00 (+travel +accomodation), you are not exactly rolling out the
welcome mat.
Are you wanting some exhibits or just vendors?

You do realise that you actually have to pay for convention space don’t you?
Or did you think it was going to be held in someones backyard?

I thought those comments were a wee bit harsh mate as I too thought the $50 rego
was a little extreme. We (BLTG) had a disscussion this weekend while we were at
a train show at Sandgate and we came up with the figures of about $1000 plus
spending for each of us to go down and have a look. This is a lot of money
(someone actually said all of there Lego spending money for the year) to invest
early when we have not seen enough of a program yet as to what is going to be
there?
I know that convention space is pricy but I would like to see a much more
detailed program / Itimary of the weekend events before I could justify booking
flights and accomodation. I am sure you understand the logistics of travelling
from Brisbane to Melbourne (return) for a weekend. We had about 6 of us who were
showing interest but after we pulled the travel details from the net it went
very luke warm.
That’s all from me but in ending $50 is high when we don’t know what we are
getting for that money.
Cheers
Peter

| (...) Unfortuantly the venue prices in both Melbourne and Sydney are pretty expensive, and due to the fact the venue needs to be close to transport and accomadation, this only increases the price. The Melbourne uni site is a good $1000 dollars (...) (18 years ago, 8-Mar-06, to lugnet.loc.au, FTX)

| (...) I've done a few sums, and I reckon I can do the weekend for about $500, so you may want to shop around. If Kerry's figures are correct, it may even be cheaper. Even at $500, $50 for registration is a relatively minor expense. Even without (...) (18 years ago, 8-Mar-06, to lugnet.loc.au, FTX)
