1) Our friends at The LEGO Group want you to know: Some vendor products offered for sale at BrickMagic are arts-and-crafts style merchandise, including custom-molded elements and re-used LEGO elements modified from their original form. The LEGO Group does not authorize or endorse these items. (But check ‘em out, cause they’re infinitely cool!)

TLG (The LEGO Group)

elcome! We want you to have a spectacular time at BrickMagic, but at an event of this size, we need a few rules to keep things running smoothly. So:

2) DO NOT TOUCH! Our Exhibitors have worked hard on their custom creations, and want you to enjoy looking at them. But unless expressly specified otherwise, assume all displays are HANDS OFF!

Please leave them parked outside in the main lobby area. 4) Wear your wristband at all times. Anyone without their wristband will immediately be required to pay for admission, or asked to leave the Festival. And please, NO SHARING OF WRISTBANDS. Each person over the age of 3 must pay for entry into BrickMagic.

Play & Build Room D on’t miss our special Play & Build Room containing over 20,000 loose LEGO bricks for kids to play with to their heart’s content (and chairs for parents to take a break in!). The bricks for this room were made possible by our sponsor Lay-N-Go, so be sure to check out their ingenious new storage/play mat.

POOP (Pieces—that can be or should be made—Of Other Pieces) SNOT (Studs Not on Top) LUG (LEGO Users Group) LTC (LEGO Train Club) KABOB (Kid with A Bucket Of Bricks)

The Carolina Garrison is the North Carolina/South Carolina chapter of the 501st Legion, an all-volunteer international Star Wars costuming organization with more than 4,000 active members representing more than 45 nations. The 501st Legion’s aims are to celebrate the Star Wars saga through costuming, to promote the quality and improvement of costumes and props, and most importantly to contribute to the local

community through charity and volunteer work. Members are here in full costume for photo ops with the public, and to help us auction off custom Star Wars LEGO creations, based on the spaceships of members’ characters. All proceeds from the auction go to Make-A-Wish® Eastern NC, so stop by the auction table and place a silent bid on the sign-up sheets. Winners will be notified after the close of BrickMagic 2012.
