I'm no longer sure which of those two groups I belong in, but thank you (all
three train groups) for putting on a great show! I was present to demonstrate a
module for a Great Ball Contraption, and was really welcomed by everybody I
bumped into (sometimes literally!) during Saturday. I had a fantastic time
letting kids (& adults!) play with the module, and my son & I spent a couple of
wonderful hours exploring & getting lost in the amazing detail in all the train
layouts, including...
Dinosuars in the subway (poor subway worker!), waterskiing minifigs,
bungie-jumpers, superheros, caves, waterfalls, haunted houses (with the
fantasticly detailed canyon below it - the favorite of both my son & I; fishing
for skelton parts was a nice touch as well), the trio of convicts plotting a
robbery (?), a floral heart, the ATM machine, a field of flowers with a park, in
front of the forest at the base of a wonderful mountain (with polar bears, of
course), Hogwarts (wonderful squid, BTW), car wrecks, the wonderful droid assult
on all things Galidor & Jack Stone... the list is endless. My son now has a new
list of "pieces I want off Bricklink for Christmas" (OK, so do I). Not to
mention the TRAINS! Dang, just what I need, another obsession...
Also, thank you MichanaLUG for letting my son & I help out by building a ramp
for the tracks during set-up; I suspect this was my son's 2nd-most favorite
moment (the first being getting to "run" the Hassenplug C4 robots). OK, the ramp
looked *terrible*, but at least we loved building it!
