Title: Brickfair Alabama-in Birmingham 2013
Post by: Clonehead on January 18, 2013, 04:03:43 PM: My brother attended this event today with his boys who are into some Lego custom items that are sold at a Brickfair like this in hoards. Paul tells me that there are vendors aplenty with bins full of cast custom Lego parts and that they are pricey. He tells me that I need to get into this what with the casting that I do and he is interested in the various printing possibility's as far as custom graphics for Lego figures goes, with him being a graphic artist and all.

Paul says that the attendees go nuts over the stuff and that the vendors are just raking it in. All of these parts look pretty high quality to me.

Post by: Tamer on January 20, 2013, 06:10:06 AM: I remember seeing some of the LEGO Stuff at CV and thinking how cool it was. I do not want to get into another line, but lets face it LEGO is pretty cool.

Post by: Clonehead on January 20, 2013, 07:41:22 AM: I asked Paul about the diorama building areas and he described em as different themed areas-movies, tv and books- science fiction- castles-military- motorized- misc.
Here is another shot with Levi and Caleb behind what looks like a ww2 Navy Amphib ship.
