The Road to Sydney Brick Show [Disney minifigures preview and tease]
My life has been a little preoccupied with preparing to exhibit at the Sydney Brick Show this weekend. I have been getting ready to post my review of Series 2 of the Disney Minifigures. But here is a sneak peek…
I thought, like other series that it would be a quick snapshot and go. Then I noticed something really interesting, that I had never seen with Collectable Minifigures in the past (Please note: “really interesting to me” may have limited widespread appeal. But it has significant implications going forward). This means I need to have a second look before I publish my findings.
Anyway… Sydney.
After arriving at Sydney Airport, I caught the train to central, and changed for the eastern suburbs line. Bondi Junction was the last stop. It took about 40 minutes from landing at Sydney airport, to get to this stop. After finding the Oxford St exit, it was a short walk (10 minutes) to the Westfield shopping centre, and the Certified LEGO Shop within.
One Week to the Sydney Brick Show
Next Weekend, 6&7th of April 2019 sees the Sydney Brick Show return to the Penrith Panthers Marquee.
I’m heading up there for the weekend with my exhibit from Brickvention – if you see me, come and say ‘Hi’.
Sydney Brick Show 2019: Last call to exhibit.
