Agreed. There had to be a huge amount of trust at things like reddifest
considering the value and amount of stuff that was lying around unattended
most of the day
Thats why I suggested a roped off area for displays, and permanently manned
tables.

Would love a BIG town. I want to see an integrated transport system with
train, plane, monorail and bus. e.g. monrail from downtown train station
connecting to the airport, etc. I have several runway plates. Always wanted to
build a big Airport terminal (sorry, seem to be into BIG at present - see my
BIG metro terminus station, and I am working on a BIG castle)
And some BIG skyscrappers please (whos got the windows?)

It just struck me at reddifest that something a bit more organised might help
oil the wheels of lego commerce.
