What is BrickCon?

BrickCon is a four-day convention for adult fans, collectors, and builders of LEGO®.

Held in Seattle, WA, attendees from around the country and around the world come together to share friendships, show their LEGO® creations, learn from each other, and meet new friends. Celebrating its 10th Anniversary, BrickCon is the longest running fan-based LEGO® convention.

Public Days:

On Saturday and Sunday, the general public is invited in to be amazed, observe our creations and meet our terrific builders. Learn some of their techniques, or just enjoy the creativity and humor so many builders include in their displays.

Join us!

If you’ve never been to our Exhibition, you owe it to yourself to discover one of the world’s best displays of the LEGO® hobby — help us celebrate our 10th Anniversary!

Well, I have gone to Brick Con for the last two years now with my Brother's family, but alas this year I won't be able to go. Sadly I will be slaving away in my Bakery making 6000 pumpkin pies for thanksgiving . Must provide the masses with their pumpkin pies.

Hope you all have alot of fun. I will miss the great displays and the excitment of my nephews seeing all the Lego models.

Next year I hope.

See 2 famous people that may or may not be at Brickcon. Do you dare risk missing an autograph from them?

I want a Count Platypus cube dude!

Anyways, if you're going at a Con attendee, Sept 15th is the cutoff to insure a brick badge and swag bag.

If you're just going down to see the exhibit, you still better book tickets, but ignore the previous statement.

Unfortunately for me, I won't be making it down to BrickCon this year, but most of the VLC will be. As such, there will be no proper October VLC meeting, anything that needs to be discussed will be done there.
