yeah,it was packed the whole day. they reckon about 3000 people through the doors.

The builder of the castle wanted to redesign it after the show - so apparently at the end of the day he asked some kids to help 'siege' it. crazy.

Nice displays. Pity it was in a different city - it would have been fun to check out.

I remember as a kid there used to be lego exhibitions during school holidays. What ever happened to those?

Does Sydney ever hold events such as these? I remember the LEGO centre at Birkenhead Point many years ago. Wonder why it shut down? I also remember David Jones and Grace Bros used to have massive LEGO displays once a year (underwater, African) in their stores. I still have a few of the display books you used to get with admission.
