trains, technic and the GBC, etc.).
Yes, there's an AFoL event it seems every weekend somewhere on just N.
America... but the average member of the public is still lucky if they happen
into a LEGO themed event even once a year.
Bodypainting, now... there's a trend that seems to have become much to
commercialized.
