Is price of the con really an issue? By the time you pay for transport, accommodation, food and spending money the actual cost of the con can be almost meaningless. I went to BrickCon in Seattle and paid something like 10x the amount of the registration on everything else.Jacob C. wrote:Does anyone know what the prices are for attending both events?
I was looking at the Brickfair site and that price is only for the "attendees", who wish to do all the hands on activities.$60.00 for BrickFair
Yes. I will only be attending for one day (most likely Chicago Brickworld because I can drive there) and I just want to see all the displays and mocs, I don't need to participate in any of the exclusive acitivities.Is price of the con really an issue?
I'll save some extra money so I can buy custom parts from people.Be sure you've got enough to cover all the expenses, and a nice little cushion too... you'll probably need some of it!
Ah, two different conversations getting mixed up. I was talking about choosing between cons but obviously you have made the choice already for good reason.Jacob C. wrote:Yes.

Last year at BrickWorld, Brickforge, Little Armory, and BrickArms were all there. Plus there are some lego stores nearby. Also, I heard there was a Bricklink store set up there too.Jacob C. wrote:I'll save some extra money so I can buy custom parts from people. For those of you that have been to these conventions, are there usually some people selling custom parts? Like brickforge parts?
I'm no expect, since I don't live there and you do, but I understand there is a store at Tyson's Corner. That's close isn't it?The Phantom wrote:I live an hour from DC, and have relatives there, so I go there all the time and I have never found a lego store before.

I think the VA store is close, but I've never been there.JoshWedin wrote:Hi,

There are 2 LEGO stores in the DC area (I've shopped at both) and they are indeed listed on the LEGO website (which is where I just got the following info):The Phantom wrote:babyjawa: What do mean when you say "Lego store nearby"? Your talking about at brickworld, and not just in the general area, right? If you are talking about the general area I dont think there is one. I live an hour from DC, and have relatives there, so I go there all the time and I have never found a lego store before. The lego website dosen't say there's one either.
