Orlando Brick Convention - LEGO Fan Event Tickets

We got tickets because my son is a huge Lego fan. We went to the Saturday afternoon session and it could have been much more organized as far as letting people in. I checked for a bag policy on the website before we went and there was no info listed. Then, when we arrived the line to park was 15 min long and then the line to get in the building stretched all the way down the road. Not until we got close to the door did we see a sign that said no backpacks, only small bags like belt bags so my husband had to go back to the car. Then, I was told when trying to enter no drinks so I had to dump out my water bottle. Once inside there was another line to go through the metal detector and that's where the sign for no drinks was. Seems like if they hadn't closed between sessions then everyone wouldn't have been trying to enter through one door at the same time. Once inside, the walkways were crowded, but there was an entire empty section that was curtained off. I don’t understand why they didn't open that up so people could have spread out more. There were many lines around the display tables and it wasn't clear if you needed to get in line to look at things or if you could just pop in and out to see the specific things you wanted. There were a lot of vendor tables present but the prices to buy sets were very high. One flower bouquet set was being sold for $70, but it's not even retired, it's currently available at Target for $40, so I'm not sure why they would be trying to sell it for so high. I would have preferred for the event to be open all day without a break or timed tickets so people could come and go at any time. Overall, we spent about 2 hours there and my son had a great time which is ultimately all that mattered.

Having never been to one but seen plenty on YouTube and such I guess I had my hopes set way to high. Nothing like I'd image seeing. The whole thing was smaller than a gym and the lines were outrageous.

This was a great event. Wasn’t too large was able to see everything in the three hours. Some great displays. All the creators were there were very nice and willing to talk to you. I got some really cool mini figs.

This was my first time going to this event specifically because my kid is a huge lego fan. It was cool to see the builds and the build pits were fun but there was nothing else to do but shop for overpriced sets. The ticket gives a 3 hour window but realistically you're done in under an hour. There needs to be more entertainment and activities, it would be cool to actually have lego representatives there to give talks about upcoming sets, something to hype up the crowd.

Some of the displays were great but I expected more and for the price they charged it wasn't worth the effort to go.

For the most part it was a nice show. I enjoyed seeing the creative talent. There were not a lot of vendors. It was nice to see the master builders from seasons 1 & 3. Would have liked to see Lego out there doing events, a building area for teens and adults besides the kids pits. Live demonstrations would have been cool to see as well. Amateur building contests

Enjoyed seeing Patrick & Mel from the Lego Masters show. I was expecting more buildings, not just a few large MOD's. Would have liked to see more streets with multiple buildings like in the "Massive Lego Displays"in the attractions promo.

Can see builds better at LEGOLAND. Parking was disorganized. Line to get in was terribly long and unorganized. Will not go again.

This is the 3rd Brick convention we have taken our grandsons. 1 in Tampa and 2 in Orlando. The boys love going and seeing the exhibits. This year we went to the 2pm session on Saturday and it was absolutely packed. It took forever to walk around the tables to see the exhibits and the retail tables were so pack you couldn't walk around them. There weren't as many exhibits this year. Next year this event needs to be in a bigger space. Also, it needs to get it's wow factor back. Need to step up the level of exhibitors back to the way it was. We usually leave wanting to go home and build our own creations. Unfortunately, our boys were ready to leave within a hour.

Very bad, almost nothing to see, prices were up to $50 or more for sets you can find anywhere, poorly organized.
