The Local ABC affiliate did its own wrap-up:Īs announced at BrickCon this past weekend, registration is now open for next year’s Bricks by the Bay convention, March 16-18, 2012.įor the serious LEGO® builder we again will offer a LEGO fan convention! The event will be held Friday-Sunday, March 16-18. I wore my commemorative bricks for both all weekend in memorandum. However, their absence was totally circumstantial and not controlled by BBtB. My only complaints about this year’s BBtB were the absence of both the Bricks of Character category ( Iain, you know LEGO is more important than that work nonsense you’re always going on about) and the Nova Albion steampunk convention that we all so enjoyed cross-pollinating with last year.

I played with it myself and it does have some very nifty features, including folding computer interface and buzzsaw arms, as well as a “retractable third leg”. Hinkle also unveiled the new R2-D2 UCS set.

This year BBtB had more floor space, full use of the convention center theater and breakout rooms and quite a few more attendees and visiting public.Īt the opening ceremonies we enjoyed some playful banter from LEGO Company representatives Kevin Hinkle, Jim Foulds, Steven Canvin, and Jenn Wagner. Getting back into the flow of real life is always difficult after such a fun and rewarding convention. It’s been a little over a week since the doors closed at Bricks By the Bay 2012.
