Brickfest Live, Columbus, Ohio

Went to Brickfest Live today, a LEGO inspired event. This towering Hyrda was probably the coolest thing there in my opinion.

Me and a buddy went early, which probably wasn't the best idea, as it looked a little empty, maybe later on more people would have setup tables with their custom builds, but for the most part it was still cool to see some of the larger statues.

Alien statue greats you when you come in, and there are 4 play & build tables in front where you create your own spaceship to put on the tables surrounding the Alien.

There were multiple spots like this throughout, which being there 1st thing in the morning, all the tables were empty because no one built anything yet.

(Hydra in the background towering over everything.)

There were a number of mythical beast statues. Here is a side view of a dragon like serpent. It look less cool from the front.

(1 of 4 spaceship play and build tables for the Alien in the background.)

The detail down the back.

A Satyr.

The Minotaur, which looked awesome.

Side view for the axe.

Back view.

The Cyclops. And as you can see behind, the place was pretty empty at 9am.

Back view, and you can see where it's assembled in sections.

The Hydra, which for me was the coolest thing there. This statue is massive, easily the largest thing there, at least 10-12 feet tall. I'm 6'1" and think I came up to just under the lower jaw of the lowest head in the middle.

Back view to see the details on the scales.

The Pegaus.

Again, really empty here in the convention hall early in the morning.

The area in the back was basically a large inflatable pool filled with LEGO bricks, kinda like a ball pit, that kids could play in.

A large LEGO floor mural, where you got to build one of the numbered sections. We were told when finished it would be Marvel vs DC.

My completed 8x8 section (32 lego dots x 32 lego dots). There were 2 murals on the ground, each was a 24x24 layout of these sectional pieces.

The staff putting my piece in, I had A1, the very top corner.

2 hours later, and this was all that had been made. A 7x24 section of the 1st picture. As we weren't staying till the end of the day and there was no guarantee we'd see the finished image I had to Google it.

Finished image of the DC side at a different event.

Finished Marvel side at another different event. I couldn't find a completed image of both of these together.

1 of the tables with a few custom builds on them. I tried to get the tags in the image as well if there was 1.

1 of the play and build table areas. This one had glow in the dark bricks.

There was 1 at the front with the Alien, where you made spaceships. 1 next to that where it was all white pieces and you were building architecture style buildings. A lot people just made towers of some kind.

There was 1 were you made a small wall image and hung it up.

Another area where you got to play with LEGO stationary/utensils (basically markers/pens with LEGO bricks on the end).

And Another area where you could create your own soap box derby LEGO car and then race it.

Some of the attendees builds on display.

A Dobermann dog statue. I think that's the correct breed.

The next few images are of some custom builds on display from Bricker Builds, who sell custom instructions for sculpture builds.

Here we have a Darth Vader bust.

Clone Trooper helmet of Captain Rex.

Mario

Pickachu

Thor's Hammer Mjolnir.

Captain America's Shield

Woody

A witch

An Apollo II Spacesuit (there is small Apollo II badge on the left side of the chest, that isn't clearly scene in this image)

Darth Vader's Mustafar castle. Which was really impressive and had a ton of detail. This picture does not do the full thing justice.

I have some more images and a video of this along with some shots of other things. But I can't post more than 50 images.

But these were the highlights of Brickfest Live in Columbus, OH. Next time I will go at a later time and hopefully there are a lot more people there with custom builds on display.
