LEGOs, LEGOs,Everywhere!

Got a flier from the Oak Lawn Library the other day, Chris brought it home. The NILTC (Northern Illinois Lego Train Club) was going to have a set-up for 2 days at the library. So we (Ed and I, Chris had to work) took the boys. WOW! All I can do is post the pics and give little comments about them because words can't describe how cool this was. They will be there from 1-4 on Sunday and then they move on. You can go visit them tomorrow (Sunday) or you can visit their website http://www.niltc.org/ and find out where they will be next. I hope you enjoy the pics and get a chance to see their work.



I didn't catch all their names, but these are some of the very helpful builders of this set up. In the second picture the guy making the funny face is Kevin and the guy in the hat is Adam. They all answered every question asked not matter how many times they were asked. They were all very, very kind and happy to answer questions from even the smallest future builder.

This is
the first building I saw when I walked into the room, and a closer look at the street level of the same building.

The was a truck accident! It looks like it was pretty bad, and that the entire police force was called in. I wonder if it was a bus load of prisoners. Oh, wait it looks like two delivery trucks. I see why the entire police force was called in can you? Anybody got any coffee or a nice cold glass of milk to go with all these doughnuts?

Yep, you're looking at the Ecto-1. Who ya gonna call? LOL! right in the middle of the second picture you can see the Amazing Spiderman and in the third, The Green Goblin. I didn't get a picture of Doctor Octopus, but he was there. There were some rooftop sentries and a little further down, a rooftop party.




We all knew that White Castles needed help. LOL! Do you think they have it right for the future of gas prices? Ah, here we see a productive LEGO employee..... Oh, wait, she's xeroxing her butt! Look! It's a gunfight! "He lives in a pineapple under the see, it Spongebob Squarepants", Patrick Star, Squidward Tenticles and, Mr, Eugen Krabs of the famous Krusty Krab.

Looks like there's something going on down there. AHHHH! I see zombies and skeletons! It's a haunted house! Why are these people picnicking in front of the haunted house? Do they want to be zombie food?

Right next to the haunted house was an old time toll booth. Then there was another great movie tribute.... The Palace Hotel. (C'mon..... you all know what movie that was from right?) And to keep up the tribute there's the Good Ol' Boys tour bus. (Did you figure out what movie yet?) Then there was the Millennium Falcon! Can you imagine having to build that? If you look closely there's a shout out to the Olympics as well. It looks like the Canadian Curling team against Hogwarts. I wonder if magic is allowed?

This was just about half of what we saw! I'll blog the other half tomorrow.
