Is it possible to attend two LEGO conventions on different sides of the world only a few days apart? Aiden Rexroad describes his journey around the world from Japan Brickfest to Brickworld Chicago and beyond. Japan Brickfest - The Beginning of the Journey My journey began at 3:00 AM in Orlando, Florida, as I got ready to head to the airport for my first of many flights. I didn’t sleep at all because of work the night before, so I was already off to a great start. But I knew I’d have plenty of time to sleep on my flight to Japan. With my three MOCs packed, I began my adventure to Brickworld Chicago with a long stopover at Japan Brickfest (JBF). After uneventful flights and getting some much-needed rest, I arrived in Japan a few days before Japan Brickfest to explore Tokyo. (You can’t do this show without at least...

When summer is approaching, I inevitably start thinking about SHIPtember. June, July and August will fly by in the summer rush, and suddenly, September is here—and I hate going unprepared into SHIPtember. Although I must admit, some of my personal favorite SHIPs have been born out of zero planning and sheer desperation. I have participated in SHIPtember (almost) annually for over ten years now, and I have some insight I would like to share with you. If you are new to SHIPtember or have been a SHIPwright for many years, it’s a good idea to prepare! What is SHIPtember? SHIPtember is an annual event where participants are tasked with the mission of building a spaceship that must measure more than 100 studs in any direction during one month (September). It was started in 2013 by fellow BrickNnerd Simon Liu. The focus of the event is just as much about the process...

Today, I have something different than my menagerie… something misty instead. I’m indulging in a love letter to one of my favourite events, which is small but mighty: Misty Isle Bricks. I’ve sprinkled pics of MOCs and displays from the show throughout the article, but this one is about more than just the bricks we all know and love. Why Misty Isle Bricks? Sometimes a show comes along that is just extra special. Misty Isle Bricks is one of those. It’s not a big show by any metric, but it punches above its weight, and there would have to be something very significant happening on the same date for me to miss it. View fullsize Gordon Finlay: Glasgow School of Art It is held on the Isle of Skye in Scotland - the eponymous Misty Isle - and is organised by Tartan LUG member John Nicolson. John spent his formative years...

Source: Flickr I didn’t play many playground games as a kid and certainly never played the Telephone Game. Like most things in my life, I learned about it through TV. What is the Telephone Game? In a circle or line, one person whispers a phrase into another person’s ear and they must repeat it to the next person, continuing the sequence until everyone has heard the phrase and shared it. The final person in the sequence says aloud what they heard, which is often met with a hilarious result, as by the time the initial word or phrase is whispered to the entire group, it often changes completely. Now, what is the Starfighter Telephone Game? The idea of the game is simple: someone builds a starfighter, gives the model to the next builder, and then they build a new iteration of it. Similar to the kid's game, as the build gets...
