Just saw your kitty walking around Cantigny--I need one!! So cute!

Thank you for such a thorough review! Andy is once again available :) You'll be happy to know that my New Years Resolution is to make my instructions with better rendering which will make for more crisp, true-to-life images. I really enjoyed the critical feedback! Just wondering--did you buy him online from my website or at BrickWorld Chicago this past year?

I've wanted to see this done for a long while. Well done sir! The Medium Blue and Red really make the MOC pop!

This reply is really late, but maybe someone can use it next mothers day or valentines day. Here's a link to a LEGO rose for sale on Etsy: Brick Rose

I <3 this topic. Now that both my husband and I are LEGO hoarders, things get out of hand QUICKLY! Unfortunately my problem isn't limited to a "man cave" it is literally the whole house (minus our two bathrooms and our master bedroom (for now, and that does not include our closet--it is jam packed with LEGO). I lovingly refer to our house as being covered in "LEGO vomit". Oiy vey! I dream of the day when we have saved enough money to add a garage. It will most definitely have a second floor where all the inventory can hide! I am not brave enough to post pictures... maybe that mythical day when everything is organized...

I think once I can see MY OWN PROFILE everything will become much easier to navigate! For now I'm happy to have my pink star!

Thanks for the info--I don't want to spam Eurobricks! There were quite a few BrickWorld registrants interested in this guy and thought I should give them a heads up. I will keep these kinds of posts in the B/S/T/F forum in the future. Thanks again, and glad you like him ;) No Apple products allowed in my house lol

HELP! Is there a way I can view all of the topics I started? I want to reply to comments on my posts without using the links in my e-mail. I am having a really hard time with site navigation here :-x

This was my fourth BrickWorld, and as always it was awesome! Each year it seems to improve in its organization. It was announced that they will have the event for 5 more years at the Westin, and this is a really scary proposition to me. With the rate of growth they've had over the past 5 years I don't know how they will manage. The rooms felt pretty packed this year, and there isn't really any room for more tables/MOCs. As a vendor I did like having all the vendors in one room, though it was a double edged sword. It was nice that everyone knew where to go to make purchases and could understand that MOCs weren't for sale in the other rooms. However, it did get pretty crazy in there on Saturday, which was the only down side for me. It's probably against code, but could we put anyone in the hall? There's a few vendors that only have a table or two that I think could swing it. My one major complaint has to do with nominated MOCs. In my opinion, I don't think one MOC should be up for multiple awards. I don't think anything actually won in multiple categories, but still it would be better if more people were nominated. Speaking of nominations, I want an FFOL award category! If they want to promote women builders, that's a great way to do it! The MOCs I bring have changed over the years because I am trying to fit into the categories they have. THANK YOU for relocating the auction to the restaurant! Huge props for that! Much more comfortable!

Re: Public Days. Saturday is always crazy, and Sunday is MUCH calmer. People waited in line for the BrickMania table in the vendor room for 40 minutes on Saturday, while on Sunday there was virtually no wait. Consider Sunday next year! I kind of feel bad for kids that attend the event. It's hard for ME not to touch anything, I can't imagine how it must feel if your 8 years old! I think the event could use a few more kid friendly areas for that reason. Re: Public Days. Saturday is always crazy, and Sunday is MUCH calmer.

Hello there! Just wanted to post to all the AFOL out there that I am quickly selling out of my "Robot Companion" for Android and don't know when I will get orders in to make more sets. If you want him you better go get him! I only have 2 left in my inventory! The lime robot body piece that makes up his arm is difficult to find so who knows how long it will even be possible to keep sets in stock. I'm thinking about making one in red--anyone have any thoughts? Kids seem to like him as a Robot and don't give a hoot about Android :) www.AbbieDabbles.Etsy.com

Hello there! My name is Abbie and I am new to Eurobricks (kind of). I signed up a year ago but didn't take the time to figure out the ins and outs of the site. I hear you have to post 10 times before you can use all of the sites features--is this fact or rumor? I sell accessories and custom kits at www.AbbieDabbles.Etsy.com and am also on Flickr and Twitter under the username AbbieDabbles. This past weekend I was a vendor for the first time at a LEGO convention, BrickWorld Chicago, and it went really well! I have a page-full of ideas for new sets. It was a great experience, and I will definitely be a vendor in the future. It was my fourth year attending the event and it seems to get bigger every year. If you like my items on Etsy you should follow me on twitter--I tweat when new items are added. Wish me luck navigating Eurobricks! ~Abbie Bocan
