Brickvention was great - was much easier this year as DS didn't want to touch/pull apart everything. Lots of trains again - so even if kids don't like Lego if they love trains is perfect. Some great models - I like the big stuff (so not kit stuff but like a massive Vegemite jar, or there was a Sydney Opera house and a massive suspension bridge).

I really would love the Mindstorm stuff - and someone had the Dolphin Cruiser customized with the Intelli Brick and motor and controlling it via bluetooth from their IPAD - can't wait for the kids to get a bit older so I can justify buying that - it is meant for 10+ but I reckon once DD is 7 I can justify the $500 to myself :-). I must get mum and dad to bring my technics Lego over next time they go home - it was a pneumatic set.
