    Default Brickvention 2012 - Jan 21st-22nd Melbourne Town Hall

    Hi all,

    This morning walking up Swanston Street I noticed a huge banner saying Brickvention 21st-22nd Jan.
    http://www.brickventures.org.au/

    After speaking to other people who have gone to this, it is exceptionally crowded and full of kids and strollers.

    I will be going (prob Saturday morning) is anyone else going? Would be good to meet up with a few Ozformers guys whilst I am still in Aust.

    Looks awesome. But the crowds last year were crazy.

    If we can get in as a group that'd be good.

    I think you have to pre-book tickets.
    They are also staggering entry times, to hopefully avoid the 2 hour queue last year.

    I'll be there with my daughter.
    We got a 2pm session.
    I checked the website, and Saturday is sold out, as is almost all of Sunday.

    Something I forgot to mention earlier was this Bumblebee made out of LEGO that was on display.
