After BrickFair Lego store stop
One company, CVS Caremark, said it advertises on Fox but hadn't said anything about Beck. Now it has told its advertising agency to inform Fox that it wanted no commercials on Beck.
"We support vigorous debate, especially around policy issues that affect millions of Americans, but we expect it to be informed, inclusive and respectful," said spokeswoman Carolyn Castel.

First BrickArms loot
If you had asked me 3 weeks ago about BrickArms, I would had said, "Well they get great reviews on Brothers Brick, they are very popular on Flickr but, I am not interested in customs."
I am not sure what changed, if it was my trusting of the Brothers Brick reviews or just seeing so many in pics on Flickr where they looked cool. But planning for BrickFair I knew I had to stop by the BrickArms table. As time went on I kept going to the Brickarms website to pick out what I wanted. I posted what happen when I first arrived at the table already.(http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarah-mitt/3846440927/)
After I got over my shock right in front of me were the bats and phasers so I grabbed them first. It ended up being really hard to get to everything because the room in front of the table was packed with young teenage boys. I grabbed a covert weapons pack next and tried to go look at the rest of the items but that proved to take too long with the crowd there so I plan on hitting the website to get the items on my list that I missed.

Lego earrings
In another room of vendors there was an Aussie selling Lego jewelery! I got these for 5 dollars and they are the same color as my room! My mother got the same thing but in nasty, horrible, yucky, lime green color.

Lego BrickFair Haul
Lego BrickFair Haul
From the vendor Bricks without Mortar.
I didn't expect to find such rare Lego items for sale at a reasonable rate. For some reason I had in my head there would only be custom sellers at this convention.
Going through this vendors table I picked up over 80 dollars worth of items. Seeing how I had less then $70 on me I had to rethink what I really needed. I had gotten multiples of the cat so gave those up, plus some rare mini figs from SW and Avatar then a turkey and a blue parrot. So I was left with these bringing my total down to $27.
I had the soccer balls at one point but they are quite lost. But the cake was cheaper then I had seen it in other places and I really wanted one. The hot dog was cheap and I didn't have one. The snowboard is really awesome and I didn't have one either. The witch I don't have and she has so much detail! Except for her hat which is plain like other witches hats I have. Of course the cat looks so much like my own I had to have at least one!

Awesome times a billion
You're going to hear me tell this story a lot.
I was at BrickFair today and stopped by the BrickArms table. I asked for the swords weapons pack because the was first on my list of what I wanted. The guy behind the table said they were sold out but since I had asked about it and was interested in swords he'd give me these and hands me two of those Braveheart type swords! I was so shocked! I didn't know what to say as he showed me his mini figs posed with the swords and all I remember blurting out was, "I saw these on Brothers Brick!" the guy smiled and nodded yes. I'm still in a bit of a daze about it and I really hope I remembered to say thank you. I just stared at those swords in my hand for awhile before I remember I had other BrickArms to buy and so I did.
I'll post pictures of those tomorrow.

Director Penhall: All right! In this scene Dragon, you're going to let Shark here nom at your arm to help the scientist get back to her shark cage.
Shark: I think I should nom on his face, more realistic!
Director Penhall: No,no, the audience is looking for Dragon to punch you in the nose or try to gouge your eyes out first. Thats realistic!
