Bricklive

Bricklive, which bills itself as "the largest Lego fan experience in America," will take over the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco Jan. 26-27. Tickets go on sale Nov. 9. This will be the event's U.S. debut, following several successful years in Europe.

If "millions of Lego bricks in one place" isn't enough to sell you, event attractions include life-sized Lego animals, race ramps, brick pits (like ball pits but, y'know, made of Lego), a graffiti wall and a wide variety of differently-themed "zones," centered around such things as Star Wars, cities, gaming, Minecraft, architecture and more.
