Yesterday (Sunday, 22 Jan 2012) I made the trek to Melbourne Town Hall with some friends for Brickvention 2012. The models were amazing, and I wish I could have spent more time there taking in all the detail. The hall was full, but not uncomfortably crowded. Here are some photos from the hall, but there were plenty more wonderful models that I did not manage to capture with my lousy iPhone camera skills:

Happy Year of the Dragon

Elmore 1972

Roundhouse and Turntable

I’ve always found the Luna Park entrance creepy.

Welp… At least one wheel works in Melbourne…

Is anyone out there?

Going to the beach.

Enough destruction for you?

A more modern interpretation.

Brick Travolta and Samuel L. Brickson

RX-0 Unicorn

To the Batcave!

Where’s the cake?

Dial us home.

Bumblebee, Spinner and APC

Starfuries!

Eeee-vah?

It’s getting Hoth in here.

I’d let you put your snake in my Chamber of Secrets…

Where is the bleeding snitch?

Sky-fi is my one big turn on.

All together now…

Blasting off!

Freaking LEGO weeds, man

Found the cake…

RED team took cake!

Just mining my own business

Looking back at the photos I have, I have missed out on too many amazing builds: the 101 Collins Street replica, the roller-coaster, the Menger sponge, the TARDIS, the assortment of kick-posterior spaceships… Hopefully my friends took more photos and I’ll be able to link to them. I am always happy to be wowed by the creativity and dedication of LEGO fans, and Brickvention 2012 was no exception. Looking forward to Brickvention 2013 in the much larger venue!
