Assuming I’ve got the flickr link right, this should be photos of Brickistan at BrickFair:

And yes, I am excited about the PoP sets, although all I’ve seen thus far are the minifig pics Joe Meno posted from ComicCon. I’m very curious to see if any new architectural elements or colors will be released. I long for a return of sand blue.

I’m sure the Brickistan builder must be excited about the coming Prince of Persia sets. :-)

The drunk build was a lot of fun. I managed to tie for first place in the event and my co-winner and I agreed to split the grand prize and consolation prize. Turns out that we each liked our prize as is.

Speed building the Eiffel Tower was a lot of fun too. That’s one fragile set.

I got some shots of the “Brickistan” castle.

The quick and dirty set of photos I took at the event:

Glad to hear the event is moving to a bigger venue next time.

Wow, thanks for the top billing! I didn’t expect to see my name in here.
I do think my islands are better viewed in person than in photos, so I was happy to be able to show them off!
As for “ArchipeLEGO,” all credit for that name goes to PennLUG’s Mike Tighe (assuming that’s where you heard it).

I’ve been getting nagged to post pics of Brickistan for a long time by various people, but I’m notoriously bad at posting pics generally. I’ve got some from BrickFair (although I’m sure others have better pics), and I’ll post some some closeups of various individual modules once I’ve unpacked it (probably later this week before it’s all out of the packing).
