  • Brickslopes 2024 came and went. It was a blast. I met so many great people at the convention. In this video I take a moment to talk about my experience and some of the neat tokens of appreciation fellow AFOLs give each other at the con.

    Thanks for the shout out. Great meeting you! Keep up the good work. Looking forward to the next videos from the Con. You guys were busy getting content. (And you have great taste in gummy bears also - the World’s Best!). Thanks again. Batdad! 😎

    Many of us have awkward moments, but only the very special get awarded for such moments! Congratz on that achievement😁 Lovely to hear about details, like those little tokens people give out. The tiles you and Jason had made are very cool!
    Thanks for talking about the whole experience. I'm looking forward to your thoughts on the Art of Chocolate now that you've seen it irl as that is a BDP set that is on my mind.
    Good luck with work this week. Thank goodness we've got Lego to take us away from work!

    You sound like I do. It was so great to see you. Yes the Duplo brick was from me. Lizz made the candle stick with Lego master Krystal at their table and placed it there for you. Good overview of the show

    Hey Alex! I didn’t get the pleasure of meeting you but I dig your work. The banner you had a question about was mine! It’s my Roman Legion 173 Banner…. The Legion is called “The Herd”! And now you know the rest of the story!!!!

    I got home and it felt like I just left. The weekend went by way to fast. It was nice to see you and Jason.

    All those personalized things are really cool. I've never been to a Lego show, it looks like a lot of fun. All sorts of cool stuff. I hope you guys left a tile for whoever did the Calvin and Hobbes art, that was awesome. 😀

      Really?! Bought that set for 75 from Costco and haven't opened it up yet. Now I'm split on ever opening it up to put together.

    Did you buy anything at the garage sale? Good tokens, good times! Thanks for sharing. 😊

    • @alexnunes

      I was very late to the sale, didn't see anything I wanted though.

    @lifesabrick5104 16 днів тому

    Had a good time myself. Really disappointed with the lack of retired sets there though at the vendors. I probably won't go again as long as I have to travel from out of town. If I were local, I'd go every time for sure.

    Always thought when you pay/register to display your sets/mocs, you have a table spot reserved? I guess it's 1st come 1st serve, kind of free for all sort of thing?

    • @alexnunes
      @alexnunes  16 днів тому

      It seems that way, or maybe I am missing something.

      Just tired from all the fun. I am not used to being on my feet that much and I was constantly talking to people. Wouldn't have it any other way though.

  • @BricksOnAnIsland

    Are there any rules about giving away tokens of appreciation? Like how many one gives away to others? 1? 5? 10? As many as you like? (As many as you can bring with you?😊)

    • @alexnunes
      @alexnunes  16 днів тому +1

      No rules that I am aware of. I think they encourage us to give away as many as we want. It's also a good way to network with other AFOLs.

    He messed my name up multiple times. And even after practicing all day Sunday, he still messed up during closing ceremonies.

    • @alexnunes
      @alexnunes  16 днів тому

      You should have got 10 LEGO sets with how much he messed your name up.
