Bricks by the Bay 2015

Alice Finch's Mouse Guard!

Alice Finch’s Mouse Guard

We recently took a day trip to Santa Clara to check out Bricks by the Bay, a LEGO builders convention. I’ve tried to get into this before but the line has always been too intimidating. This year we bought VIP early entry tickets (only $20 each) and had a full hour to check out the builds with plenty of room to navigate the hall. There were so many excellent, impressive builds. Here are a few of my favorites!

Here’s a post about the origins of the Mouse Guard bricks. You can follow Alice Finch on Flickr — check out her amazing Hogwart’s builds as well.

I loved this comparatively small build of a kung fu fight in a Chinese inn.

  2. Amazing. Thanks for sharing!

  3. After 10am there will be no special entry for VIP and you must join the regular line; you will still receive the special brick but there will be only one line for entry. Regular visitors may begin queuing for entry at 8am.
