... and many other examples, but these were what sprung to mind, and
responded to quick & easy searches.
Keep in mind that one of the big reasons that trainheads get more visability
than other LEGO fans is because they're tapping into an existing support
structure (Model RR community). Hopefully, other Lego fans will tap into
similar structures more often in the future, which will increase the
visibility of other things, too. Michlug doing a space display at a con is
a *great* example of that. So are some of the static displays that have
been put in Libraries.
So there. ;)
(Keep raising the bar, though; don't wait for us to catch up.)
