LEGO Americana Roadshow: Building Across America


LEGO Americana Roadshow: Building Across America
I just checked out this traveling exhibition from LEGO and was quite impressed. The scale of some of the builds are jaw-dropping. They also had a number of "Brickscapes," which are minifig-scale scenes showing minifigs participating in funny situations, like adding Pres. Business to Mt. Rushmore, operating a spaceship launch center, and building a giant snowman.

Schedule:
Kenwood Town Center, Cincinnati, OH:  July 3-19
Riverchase Galleria, Hoover, AL:  August 20 – September 7
Northpoint Mall, Alpharetta, GA:  September 17 – October 4
Christiana Mall, Newark, DE:  October 15 – November 1

Check it out. More details at http://www.lego.com/en-us/club/member/articles/details/americana-roadshow-schedule-897d257715ad4897b1744ca57df22e26

  1. I took a bunch of photos, but I don't want to ruin it for folks. Maybe I'll post them after the run ends Nov. 1.

  3. Or see a bunch of cities made of Legos at LegoLand; Washington DC is impressive; the parade in front of the capitol actually moves to patriotic music:

  9. Logan Bossinger You would hurt yourself more than the model -- it's about 25 feet long, 10 feet high, and solidly glued together.
