Waste of money. One room full of geeky adults and their kids, with really small lego creations. Was expecting huge sculpture-type stuff. Who wants to pay to watch a nerd play chess with an old man using a board made of lego?

Amazing to see what can be created with Legos. The pieces presented were truly incredible.

I wasn't crazy about the venue where it took place, as the separate event rooms didn't flow well and pockets of crowds blocked doorways. Needs to be in a bigger hotel, or at least one arena that allows more freedom of movement and elbow room.

BrickFair '08, DC LEGO Fan Festival brings together AFOLs (Adult Fans Of LEGO) from across the country and around the world.  It's a chance to re-ignite your love of LEGO and to share in creative play with other adults and your own children.

The public is welcome to browse the BrickFair expo.  Train layouts stretch as far as the eye can see.  The "Great Ball Contraption" is always a hoot!  Vendors will be selling special LEGO items, including LEGO-by-the-piece and individual minifigs.  Visitors enjoy discounts at local restaurants.

BrickFair marks the return of the LEGO fan festival to the Washington DC area.  It is held in the Sheraton Premiere Hotel in Tysons Corner, VA – stumbling distance to the local LEGO store.  BrickFair is raising $10,000 for The SladeChild Foundation (www.SladeChild.org), a childrens' charity based in Maryland.  Public ticket sales support this fundraising.
