Japan Weekend 2012 By HispaBrick Magazine®
Once again HispaBrick Magazine has been present at the Japan Weekend held in Barcelona from 9 to 11 March. In our booth attendees were treated to the latest news from: Star Wars™: including the latest batch of fighters, 9493 X-Wing, 9495 Y-Wing, 9492 Tie Fighter, 9494 Jedi Interceptor,... CITY: With the 4438 Robbers’ Hideout (bear included), and the latest modular building (10224 Town Hall) Super Heroes: Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, ... SpongeBob: 3818 Bikini Bottom Undersea Party, 3817 The Flying Dutchman... Friends: Presentation of the theme that will be available (in Spain) starting next May, including the live building of 3315 Olivia’s House and other complementary sets. Visitors were also able to see line-ups (from micro scale to UCS) of some of the most important Star Wars ships (Millennium Falcon, SSD, X-Wing, Y-Wing, Snow Speeder,...)
and take pictures with cartoon characters built by car_mp. They could take home, or build there, the 30024 and 30026 minisets. The atmosphere was similar to previous years, with the presence of a large number of shops selling products of Japanese culture, various activities and the attendance of many young people dressed up as their favorite characters from Manga and Anime series. Six AFOLs from our community travelled to L’Hospitalet for the event, to share our hobby, some laughs and Japanese food ... of course. On the right you can a see a picture that the artist Timoneda has dedicated to us (http://www.timoneda.es/) Many thanks to LEGO® Iberia and LEGO System A/S for their assistance in this event. #
