Brisbane LEGO Fan Expo 2016
Make interlocked creations until your heart is content.
Overview
The LEGO Movie, everyone's animated film of 2014, taught us quite a few things. Embracing your creativity and not being too rigid were among its chief lessons; however it also reminded us that everything is awesome — particularly the Danish-made interconnecting bricks that gave the feature its name.
The folks at BrisBricks certainly think so, as do the masses that are certain to flock to their annual fan expo event. Yes, it really is exactly what it sounds like. Yes, it's a three-day extravaganza dedicated to the toys everyone still knows and loves, at every age.
Marvelling at the LEGO creations the experts have conjured up is part of the fun, and buying new sets from specialist retailers too. If you've taken a fancy to the many pop culture-themed sets released in recent years, such as The Simpsons, Ghostbusters and Back to the Future, prepare for your wallet to get a workout. Of course, you'll also have the chance to do what every kid — young and old — wants, i.e. make interlocked creations until your heart is content. Here, if you're a LEGO lover, everything really is cool, and you'll be living your dream.
