LEGO Brick Fest Live Lets LEGO Lovers Get Their Brick Fix! #BrickFest

One of our summer day trips recently took us to Brick Fest Live at the Meadowlands Expo Center in New Jersey. Our kids are huge LEGO fans, so this was something they were really looking forward to. We arrived at the center for one of the 4 hour sessions.

When we walked in we were immediately greeted by a full size Woody from Toy Story figure made entirely out of LEGO bricks. We looked at amazing LEGO structures of all kinds-motorized, glow-in-the-dark and one of a kind creations like the full size portrait of Bonnie Raitt.

Then they tried some hands on fun in the huge pit of red LEGO bricks of every shape and size. My kids loved sitting in a sea or red LEGO bricks and building structures they could then leave for all to see on a display table.

There was a LEGO brick character to take pictures with, LEGO miniature golf, free build areas where you could design your own creations on vertical panels adding to a LEGO billboard of design. Build creations and add them to the LEGO City. Build a race car then race against others. There was a section for little LEGO lovers that featured multiple sit and build play space filled with single color Duplo blocks.

Of course there were vendors where you could find all kinds of minifigures or build your own, find that rare figure you were looking for and even a bargain LEGO club deal that we could not pass up. Our kids had a great time and came home with some custom minifigures, a Hulk LEGO, the T-Shirt, backpack, and LEGO building sets and accessories deal.

If you have LEGO lovers big or small and have the opportunity to attend Brick Fest Live you will not be disappointed. Have you been to a LEGO Brick Fest Live event?

At a Brick Fest Live event, you and your family will take part in lots of hands-on activities. But LEGO itself is a hands-on activity. What will you get when you attend a Brick Fest Live event that differs from your activity at home? We have accumulated a collection of LEGO pieces ready to build with which span many decades of production. Every year, The LEGO Group produces dozens of new elements which have never been made before. Consequently, they also retire many elements and replace some of them with newer versions. Many parts as well as colors are never produced again. Our collection of parts gives you free range of LEGO’s extensive part catalog for an unhindered building experience.

We have seen other LEGO-related events which use a limited selection of LEGO elements in their free-build area. There have even been events with a massive quantity of only one type of piece. While this presents interesting and different challenges for the builder in your life, we find that building with as large a parts selection as we have will present a new and exciting experience for you.
