Brickworld 2010 Memoirs - The LEGO Employee Discount

Posted Thursday, July 01, 2010 5:48 PM by David_Gregory
I can no longer recall how many times I've been to a LEGO store, and I imagine most readers here are in the same situation. Trips to a LEGO store can often be a similar experience. With the possible exceptions of Friday Night Binge Events at Brickworld Read More...

Hair there and everywhere

Posted Saturday, March 20, 2010 7:24 PM by David_Gregory
The Harry Potter line was one of the more successful licensing deals that LEGO has made. In fact, I think it's probably second only to Star Wars, as far as longevity of the line of sets made. Sets from the Harry Potter story were considered wonderful Read More...

I LOVE going to LEGO fan events. I loved going to the 3 Brickfests I went to in Arlington. I loved going to the 3 Brickworlds in Chicago that have happened so far, and plan on going to them far into the future. I loved going to Brickfair for the first Read More...

I finally know how many

Posted Monday, November 17, 2008 10:23 AM by David_Gregory
How many of you know how many LEGOs you have? Most AFOL's have some general idea of how many pieces they own, but it's often some figure that's appended with the phrase "give or take about 50,000." If you have a LUGNET membership, you can enter the number Read More...

I can't escape LEGO

Posted Thursday, July 31, 2008 4:09 PM by David_Gregory
I freely admit it: my life is FULL of LEGO. My apartment, my web surfing, my thoughts—there's LEGO everywhere in my life. However, just like any other LEGO Maniac, I can't spend 100% of my time with LEGOs. I have to go to work, eat, watch movies, etc. Read More...

Vintage sets on ebay can go for a LOT!

Posted Monday, April 28, 2008 8:25 PM by David_Gregory
I love sets from the 80's. I'm not alone, as many AFOL's consider the 1980's the middle of LEGO's "Golden Age." Specifically I have a penchant for construction sets. (Yes, yes—I realize that all LEGO sets are "construction" sets. I mean the Town sets Read More...

Say that 5 times fast

Posted Friday, August 10, 2007 11:18 PM by David_Gregory
I'm sure that everyone here is familiar with being outbid on ebay. Some person has the high bid, you're willing to pay more, you place your bid, the other dude's bid was higher than yours, so ebay tells you that you were outbid. Pretty simple. I just Read More...
