We recently took a day trip to Santa Clara to check out Bricks by the Bay, a LEGO builders convention. I’ve tried to get into this before but the line has always been too intimidating. This year we bought VIP early entry tickets (only $20 each) and had a full hour to check out the builds with plenty of room to navigate the hall. There were so many excellent, impressive builds. Here are a few of my favorites!
Here’s a post about the origins of the Mouse Guard bricks. You can follow Alice Finch on Flickr — check out her amazing Hogwart’s builds as well.
I loved this comparatively small build of a kung fu fight in a Chinese inn.
I didn’t catch the names of all the builders … feel free to add info in the comments if you see something you recognize!
A fun day trip … highly recommended! Thanks to all the builders who put many hours into these amazing displays.
