Lego Train Shows - A Great Way to Explore Legos

2011 Lego Train Shows and Lego Expos

For the Lego enthusiast, Lego train shows are a great way to see a lot of different lego buildings and sets in one place, way before you buy. I'm lucky that I live in Chicago and have an active Lego Train Club that provides shows throughout the year.

Lego Train Shows are not just about trains. The trains are basically the outline of the show, inside are all the great creations by area legomasters. Featured are usually the latest lego sets, and crazy combinations you wouldn't normally see. The Chicago shows usually have the chicago skyline more than 8 feet high. In addition, I've seen an accident between a Dunkin Doughnuts truck and a Krispy Kreme Truck, many superheroes around the skyline, every Harry Potter lego set, soccer stadiums filled with storm troopers, Star Wars lego sets, Indiana Jones lego sets, and every other conceivable lego combination.

I love legos, and the lego train shows are awesome. Check out your local LUG - Lego User Group or LTC - Lego Train Club to find the next show near you.

Where can you buy legos in bulk?

The best place I've found to buy legos in bulk is ebay. You can find legos in bulk by color, by type, or by the pounds.
