Croydon Brick Festival 2024 - My day at the event selling Lego

[@TonyStark-uu9us]

Rapidly becoming essential Sunday evening viewing for me!

[@iainsbricks]

Thanks for watching Tony. Much appreciated

[@jedibrick2937]

Thanks Ian. Looks like your getting to know everyone 👍 Hope you made some good 💰 Matt from Dorset

[@iainsbricks]

Thanks Matt. Not the best day takings wise, but still worth the trip.

I'm loving the "Iain's Bricks" corporate branded clothing !!! See you at the Portsmouth show.

[@iainsbricks]

Lol! It's about time I got some corporate branded shirts!

Excellent background spacey music 👨‍🚀🚀🌍

[@iainsbricks]

You do love that spacey music 👾

[@markembleton8226]

I now have 'mahna mahna' going round on a loop in my head. 😂

[@iainsbricks]

You're welcome 🤣

Hi Iain, another great video, like the KZbin polo top - can I ask how do you produce your Lego set labels, you print them but onto what, looks like ‘post it not’ so low tack no damage to the box?

[@iainsbricks]

Hi. Thanks for watching. I did show how I do my labels in a video earlier this year. I use a sheet of A4 printer labels (3×7) and just print them off onto there. Those labels are very sticky, so I then put them on a post it note and cut to size so as not to damage the Lego boxes.

[@harveylyon178]

@ Thanks Iain very helpful

[@langserv]

3:31 - Great display at the show, Iain

[@iainsbricks]

Thank you

[@Peter-tv7yz]

Jeej, the windturbine is finally gone! 😄🥳

[@iainsbricks]

I know! Glad it's gone to a good home

[@thelegolondoner]

Great vlog Ian! I met you yesterday, I was the person all in beige and a flat cap! It was brilliant meeting you today, glad you had some sales.

[@iainsbricks]

Hi. Great to meet you yesterday. Hope you enjoyed day at the Brick Festival

[@TonyStark-uu9us]

Dizzy Bricks inspiration is Naboo ... and that it genius 👏👏👏👏👏

[@iainsbricks]

Yes, they were nice mocs

[@BarryFrancis]

I wonder if having this Brick Festival on a Saturday affects how busy it is? I think people probably have more to do on a Saturday than a Sunday.

[@iainsbricks]

Yes, you may be correct. The Oxford NBE that was rubbish was on a Saturday, while,the good one at Haywards Heath was on a Sunday.

[@markdixon662]

Thanks for the shout out. Yes very lucky to get an extra table. Definitely needed it.

[@iainsbricks]

No problem. I always like to have 2 front tables. Not enough space on just the one.

[@garethsmith2250]

Looks like Croydon II was very similar to Croydon I and a few of the other recent fairs...be interesting to see how Pompey is.

[@iainsbricks]

Yes, sales wise Croydon II was a little better than last years event, but not by much. I'm expecting Portsmouth to be better sales wise

[@andyseston5799]

It’s Mary earps England woman’s goalkeeper

[@iainsbricks]

Ah ok - thanks for that. I wasn't sure.

[@garethsmith2250]

One More Brick also has an eBay Store hopefully catch them at show for real.

[@iainsbricks]

Not sure if they will be at Portsmouth or not

[@jonnyhawkins7744]

9.06 ' do do do do do '

[@iainsbricks]

Lol! Correct!

[@michaelwhite8778]

I’ve had my eye on your Winnie the Pooh set for the last few shows you’ve been, but the shows are nowhere near me unfortunately 😕

[@iainsbricks]

Hi - unfortunately I can really only travel a certain distance for these shows due to my home location. What area are you in?

[@arrow1red]

Iain and idea mabey put your staking unit in your trolly to give it more Hight to maximise the selling room or put any little sets or polly bag init just in front or to the side of your table just an idea

[@iainsbricks]

I don't like to have my stands too tall as they become unstable, and unfortunately we are not allowed to have extra boxes etc at the side of the trading tables.

[@carlsmith653]

Some really interesting vendors. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@iainsbricks]

Yes, there was a good mix of vendors at this show. Thanks for watching

[@langserv]

8:50 - It's "LS 24", i.e. the artist's initials, not "L524" ;)

[@iainsbricks]

Ah ok. Thanks for clearing that up.

[@the-lost-bricks]

I told you to get a trolley soo much easier

[@iainsbricks]

Yes, it was much easier. It takes up a fair bit of space but I knew Croydon had that big ramp down to the hall, so knew I needed something.

[@leeshurmer7063]

Glad this one was a success, but damn you’re ramming the festivals in at the moment!! Good luck for Portsmouth!!

[@iainsbricks]

Yes, not the best sales I've ever done, but certainly not the worst. Roll on Portsmouth
