I’m sad that I have nothing collaborative to share this year, but i’m looking forward to seeing the final products!

Nannan, if i remember correctly, they were still printing up MOCcards right up until Thursday. Not sure if that’s the case this year. They also had hand written cards for late entries.

When is the deadline to fill out MOCcards? I haven’t finalized the design or name of my MOC yet.

I’ve got a hedgerow diorama for Op:B that I’m almost done with, and I really need to buckle down and finish painting my Wehrmacht and Airborne infantry.

I’m bringing my own Nnenn tribute VV, and am also bringing a RAID VPR on Mark Stafford’s behalf. If Nate’s family will be there I would be happy to give them both to keep, should they desire.

This reminds me that I need to send mail to Iain to ask some questions about Bricks of Character. (And I’ve still got your $15 set aside! :)

Ironically, I am /not/ likely to be contributing anything to Big in Japan simply because I already have so many commitments. The irony comes from the fact that I used to translate Japanese manga and for several years was a minor celebrity in Yuu Watase fandom.

This Brickcon is going to be /awesome/.

Hi Andrew,
As mentioned before, my 1/144th scale Gundam will be there. I hope it can be somewhere close to your Micropolis and mimic the Gundam statue currently on display in Shizuoka Japan. I’ll also have a small 4 inch samurai “peteframe” type figure. So yes, building small for Big in Japan is what I did.

Thanks, Andrew.

And I’ll also be hosting the “Tommy Williamson Minifig Amnesty Bucket” at the Bricks of Character table. Just bring all your wretched minifigs along to the convention, drop them in the bucket, and I’ll happily set fire to them.

It’s the only way to be sure….

;-)

Whatever apoc build the kiddies are building for isn’t one we’re involved in. If they think there’s a “Zombie Apocafest 2010″, they’re gravely (and hilariously) mistaken.

So I keep seeing MoC work for apocalypse theme builds showing up on Flicker and notes saying that they’re working on the Apoc colaborative display for BrickCon. I haven’t seen anything on the website about an apoc theme this year. Is this a different Brick Con?
