Hey M-Bearders! BrickCon, Seattle's annual Lego convention, is open for registration, and takes place Oct 5th - 8th (yes, it's FOUR full days this year!). The theme for 2017 is "Brick to Old School" - presumably sort of a "Back to the Future" concept, focusing on classic aesthetics. Per usual, we'll coordinate community collaborations here in this thread. Does anyone have a collab idea they'd like to do? I still have my big winter landscape that I can bring, and will prob be able to expand it to have room for quite a few figs. One thing I thought would be fun based on the theme is if everyone built their take on the classic "Yellow Castle", be it just in a different color, modernizing it, upsizing/downsizing it, etc.

I should be able to make it! As for collabs, I'm not sure. I haven't built much of anything in the classic style, so I'm not sure I can help with that much. :/

So I have my big winter layout that I'm going to expand a little from last year and bring.
What about if we, as homage to the classics (Brick to Old School), do some redux's of classic sets and use only classic factions in the winter collab? Some Wolfpack, Black Falcons, Crusaders, Forestmen, all updated with new heads and "modern" versions of some of the classic sets.
Would anyone be interested in doing that?

I have a ton of crusader knights, black falcons, and forestmen if we go this route.

In fact, I could probably do some variation on the 6080 King's Castle.

I am giving Josh a break this year and coordinating castle at BrickCon. Official "categories" were submitted today for those that care about such things. I put us in for Best Fortification, Best Castle Scene and Best Old School. If anyone is interested in helping with trophy building, let me know.
Thanks

Man, I wish I could still go to BrickCon but I'm stuck down here in California.
