Lego Excitement

This kind of puts our Lego brick collection into perspective: way more than anyone needs, but clearly not in the same league as the true serious aficionados.

The best part, is it seemed like everyone, both the folks who did the building and the gawkers, had a good time.

There was a sense of whimsy in most of the displays.

Even the serious battle scenes often had something fun to beak them up.

The less serious scenes took even more liberties: Batman and Catwoman on a Ferris Wheel, along with Emmet and Wildfire.

A cityscape taken from several movies that included motors hidden in the rafters so Superman could save the day as a small plane came down and almost crashed.

Then Lex Luthor showed up in a helicopter outside the Star Wars museum.

There were lots of space age creations.

And painfully accurate World War II models. Not to mention the Boar War, Civil War and many castles being stormed by hordes or defended by dragons — sometimes both.

And lots and lots of city scapes — Lego trains have really taken off (including one designed to look my DC’s Metro).
