Well, the BUGs went to Nambour today to see the display. We took the train
which turned out to be quite convenient as the shopping centre with the display
is only a couple of blocks away, and the weekend special price meant we paid
between about $10-$12 each for a return ticket (depending on exact point of
departure) so it was quite economically and nice to relax and enjoy the scenery
instead of worrying about the traffic.
Peter certainly has a mindbogglingly large collection and we are told it wasn't
all on display. There were both Lego sets and lots of MOCs on display. The
display has organised around themes (not surprisingly, as you would hard expect
to see a medieval knight on a Paradisa beach). From memory the themed areas
were (mentally walking around the room): Castle, a very large Town and Train
area (including a billboard saying BUGS) which included a monorail that seemed
to go forever, a very comprehensive collection of Paradisa, Pirates and
Islanders, Dino Island, Adventurers-in-the-jungle (what's that theme called?),
Egyptian, a large air/space field (contemporary), Belville, large Technics
sets, Bionicles, Ice Planet, Star Wars, Model Team, [something I can't
remember], and Ninja. There were also posters and other memorabilia, as well as
albums of printed material and photos etc. So there was plenty to see, and
Peter and family made us all very welcome (especially the BUGS sign). Oh, and
there is a play area with Lego for the kids as well, although we resisted the
temptation!
The only disappointing thing was that there wasn't a bigger audience to see it
(especially as it's a fundraiser for SES cadets). Still, it was only the first
day of the display so hopefully word will get around and more people will get
in and see it. So, if you are in or around Brisbane over the next couple of
weeks, make sure you go to Nambour and check out Peter's display! It's
definitely worth the trip!
