well was a great show 1st time I had gone ,( £17 for 4 coffes & couple bits of cake from costas then @ £23 for some rolls & drinks from the outside retailers ) unsure if would attend next year due to not a great reason to go & maybe just all the same but may attend 2016 ,

Surely that's good value for money after purchasing the Simpsons house??

I went and took my four and six year old....they had a great time in the "lego pits" think soft play area full of lego bricks rather than balls. Some of the models that had been made/were on show were pretty impressive.....some people clearly have too much time on their hands/spend all their time on doing these things!

I saw the Toys R Us in the corner.....there were huge queues just to get in to it and even bigger queues to pay. The stands of specialist retailers were all very busy too. In fact the busiest parts of the show were the retailers....people seemed to have gone their to buy lego more than anything else!

It's good when your selling, but non stop once it starts at the LEGO shows I've been selling at.

I was stunned at how busy the stands were...only other brand/product that I can think of that creates that much of a frenzy is Apple!

It was fairly quiet on the Thursday, lots of school children on trips from school but pretty empty when they had gone. You could see all the displays though and get to the stands- Toys r us was empty.

The displays were excellent and nice to talk to the people that made them. There was one display that had various creations that pushed balls round all day (I have not described it very well...) but it was fascinating. There were about 700 lego footballs all going around the display at one time

Would have liked to see more trade stands, the theatre was pretty naff, but am glad we went during the week.
Tons of complaints on facebook that it was too busy at the weekend, 18,000 tickets sold each day I think

I was there on Sunday. Got there about 10:15 so queued up so it didn't take too long to get in at 11:00 (queues were massive by then). Signed my 9 year old up for activities early and got the shopping in - only a few people in the Toys R Us queue at about 11:30 on but it got very busy during the day and towards the end of the show.

Took a packed lunch so only purchased some coffees.

Early afternoon it was heaving so grabbed a seat and chilled for a bit. I think that the number of people there actually put people off so people were possibly leaving earlier than they planned. By around 16:00 (show shut at 17:00 on Sunday) the crowds had seriously thinned so getting around the exhibits and talking to the exhibitors was easy.
