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

Hi Peter,
I agree my comment was rude and had it not been 2am for me when I wrote it I
probably wouldn’t have posted it but I will stand by the point because it was in
response to something that was extremely rude. You have said much the same thing
as Peter Edwards but in a polite manner and in no way would I respond rudely to
it. He may think that $50 is too much for the convention but I think that free
is a bloody bargain for good manners.
