Lego Event - My stall at the Weston-Super-Mare Brick Festival 5th Nov 2023 & how my day went

[@northvicbricks]

I really enjoy your videos from the brick festivals. They are very good. Hope you had a great day.

[@iainsbricks]

Thank you for watching and for your comment

[@charlottetown4422]

Glad you had another great sale. Makes room for other stuff.

[@iainsbricks]

Thanks. It certainly does

[@paulkrenz9593]

very impressed with the display, and so glad you did well

[@iainsbricks]

Thanks Paul.

[@jonathanradrian]

I appreciate your very friendly and personable presentations.

[@iainsbricks]

Thank you, that's much appreciated

[@MisaBricks]

It was a great video like always Iain. I do appreciate all your kind comments on my 'Glastonbrick' display and my minifigures. I can't wait to see you at your next Brick Festival!

[@iainsbricks]

Thanks. Much appreciated

[@MuddyFox76]

Must have a visit sometime at your next event iain. I ran a small lego stall in morecambe Lancashire for a few months earlier this year selling a few of my retired sets which seemed to do quite well really.

[@iainsbricks]

I do enjoy selling at these events. My inner shopkeeper always comes out!

[@leeshurmer7063]

Watching that video brings back memories of May, glad it was a good day for you mate. Like you, my next on is in the new year now … roll on 2024!! Currently putting sets on eBay!! 😂 Great video and look forward to next haul video!!

[@iainsbricks]

Thanks Lee. Weston does appear to be one of the better festivals my opinion. Easy parking and unloading and good footfall / sales. Just a shame its a 2.5 hour drive away for me.

[@leeshurmer7063]

@@iainsbricks Definitely a good venue for those same reasons!! 👍

[@TheInboxlegocollector]

Great stuff Ian looks like you had a fantastic time, me and the wife enjoyed watching. We're starting to spot the Lego displays they certainly get about from event to event 👍

[@iainsbricks]

Thanks, it was a very enjoyable day. Yes, a lot of the models are shown at the different festivals

[@markgriffiths7649]

Very well set out stall, well done Iain on your sales and providing the video of the event. Some of the displays looked amazing.

[@iainsbricks]

Thanks Mark. It was a long day, but definitely worth it

[@markgriffiths7649]

I forgot to ask. Did you sell your Greengrocer modular building?

[@iainsbricks]

@@markgriffiths7649 Yes I did. Really pleased to finally sell it.

[@barrywhite5899]

Awesome video. I’m in Bristol and was going to head over to North Somerset for this …. But the reality is I would’ve spent too much money so didn’t go. Would love to see some of those displays. Thanks for the detailed tour. Great videos as always

[@iainsbricks]

Thank you. It is always temping to spend lots of money at these events.

[@JPOlmin3000]

Great display! Glad it went well. Looking forward to that next video. Cheers!

[@iainsbricks]

Thank you

[@SuperSloth221]

9:31 I can see the back of my head! Glad you did so well Iain, pleasure to meet you again. Thanks for letting us grab a photo!

[@iainsbricks]

Lol! I do try not to get too many shots of other pain the background, but at such a busy event, it's bound to happen. Great to meet you again too.

[@SuperSloth221]

@@iainsbricks I’ll try and wave next time!

[@jonasjakobsen8767]

I always injoy your videos. Thanks for the insight

[@iainsbricks]

Thanks Jonas - much appreciated

[@Andyp271]

Great video Ian. Thanks for the effort you put in, I always enjoy them 😊

[@iainsbricks]

Thanks Andy, that's much appreciated

[@BricksShowcase]

Great video Iain. I hope you managed to sell that Spiderman set that you were sent by mistake.

[@iainsbricks]

Thanks. Unfortunately I didn't sell the Spiderman set this time, but there is always the next event

[@laurenn9055]

Was a great day! Glad to have met you Iain 😊. Ur awesome. Was very happy with my bespin duel set haha. Defo need to go to another event.

[@iainsbricks]

Gtmreat to meet you too. Glad you had a good day.

[@simonmartin762]

Hi Iain, really enjoy these event videos and wish there were more events near me, I'll have to give in and do some travelling I suppose! I would definitely be buying some sets from you as the prices look very fair. Looking forward to your next video 👍

[@iainsbricks]

Thanks Simon. I've done 5 of these events this year and they have all been pretty successful for me. There are Brick Festivals all over the UK now so there may be one planned near to you next year.

[@simonmartin762]

Thanks for the reply Iain, much appreciated.@@iainsbricks

[@jakecurtis7331]

Love the video especially lego events I've only went to the one at the Genesis centre I can't wait to see you at the Southampton Brick Festival

[@iainsbricks]

Thanks. I'm booked in to go to the Southampton Brick Festival next April.

[@wightmand]

Your prices seem very reasonable Iain 👍

[@iainsbricks]

Thanks. I do try to keep prices fairly reasonable

[@miniade1]

Hi Ian, looks like it was a good show.. you took some really interesting sets and I appreciate the way in which you wrapped them all before the show.. really makes a difference to protect the boxes. How did you do with selling your Corner Garage and green grocer?

[@iainsbricks]

Thanks. I did sell both the Corner Garage and the Green Grocer, which I was really pleased with.

[@Kitplaysfortnite]

The man at the start of the brick fest soled me Jabba’s palace before

[@iainsbricks]

Yes, I'm sure a lot of he sellers have been to ormther events before.

[@CharlieHeavon]

Can you do a video on how you plastic wrap them?

[@iainsbricks]

Yes. It's in one of my Brick Festival preparation video's

[@thriftingsisters1226]

👍👍

[@froggerabc]

The grocer went! wow. Will you be doing Watford BF?

[@iainsbricks]

Yes, I finally sold the Green Grocer. I won't be at Watford BF I'm afraid

[@petervestifrendrup1307]

How did you put the plastic wrapping on? Looks good!

[@iainsbricks]

I did it manually - I showed how I did it in my last video / preparing for Weston Brick Festival

[@Peter-tv7yz]

Great that you had such a nice and succesfull day. Looks like you even sold your Greengrocer?

[@iainsbricks]

Thanks Peter. Yes, I finally sold my Green Grocer

[@BrotherJallan]

Great video - what do you use to shrink wrap/cover your boxes?

[@iainsbricks]

I just use zip lock bags and tape over the excess. I showed how I do this in my Weston preparation video.

[@BrotherJallan]

@@iainsbricks Thanks!

[@Therandomboiiii]

Did you end up selling the stranger things BrickHeadz because I’ve had my eye on them the last couple times so if you didn’t I’d love to have them somehow

[@iainsbricks]

Hi. I didn't sell sell it, but I only sell at Brick Festivals I'm afraid

[@Therandomboiiii]

@@iainsbricks I’ll probably go to one soon I have had a lot on lately but I’ve seen it in your videos for a while now so if no one takes it then I will because that’s a reasonable price for a sealed one

[@junkpile1986]

toy story train is not aligned well >.>

[@caronmills8983]

Don't tell me you sold your Green Grocer set? Was that your last VW Campervan? Well done

[@iainsbricks]

I did sell my Green Grocer, finally. Have have more though at home. I think I still have 1 or 2 camper vans left.

[@gavinschofield8578]

Gutted I missed this, what is your brick store?

[@iainsbricks]

Hi. At the moment, I only sell at Brick Festivals or similar events.

[@WayneTheBeardedAFOL]

Do you sell online Iain? Or is there a way of contacting you to purchase some sets as I struggle to get to the Lego fairs down south

[@iainsbricks]

Hi. I don't sell online I'm afraid - only at Brick Festivals or similar events

[@martincasillas3817]

I noticed that you wrap your Lego sets… do you keep them wrapped when in storage?

[@iainsbricks]

I only wrap them up before I take them to an event. Before that, I just keep the sets stored in the Lego delivery boxes.

[@patrickpendy9355]

Hey iain ,why did the moulding machine set go so high in price!? Love the vids 👍

[@iainsbricks]

Hello. The set retired at the end of last year.

[@patrickpendy9355]

But compared to the duck etc it's selling way higher

[@iainsbricks]

@@patrickpendy9355 The duck is still available to buy at the Lego House in Denmark

[@garethsmith2250]

Iains bricks merchandise is your next thing 😊

[@iainsbricks]

I'd love to be able to do a licenced Iain's Bricks set but alas I doubt that will happen

[@monkeysidey]

You have probably answered this before but what do you use to wrap your boxes for sale? Looks like shrink wrap?

[@iainsbricks]

I use zip lock or clear food bags. Take a bit of time ro wrap each box but it's definitely worth it

[@monkeysidey]

@@iainsbricks are they heat sealed bags?

[@Zer0G101]

do you check out other peoples prices and make any ajustments ?

[@iainsbricks]

There was a stall next to me that had a load of sandwich shops on at £9 each - I'd labelled my sets at £10, so I did lower my price to £9 tomatoes. I sold 3 of the 4 sandwich shops I took. 😁

[@benrichardson9526]

Hi. Do you still have the speed champions Nissan Gtr?

[@iainsbricks]

Hi. I did sell the Nissan I'm afraid, and it was the last one I had.

[@BarryFrancis]

Glad you had a good day, even though it was very long day. When you said you sold all of your modulars does this mean you sold the Greengrocer this time or didn’t you take it?

[@iainsbricks]

Thanks - it was a very long day, but definitely worth it. Yes, I sold my Green Grocer, along with a Diner and a corner garage

[@martazedbricks]

Are you dealing with lego by yourself or with partner? I'm just impressed with afford you put in, like buying, preparing and selling Plus KZbin channel! Great work and vlog! Thanks!

[@iainsbricks]

Thanks. I pretty much deal with the final side of things by myself.

[@legobricksbe]

Wich set was the best selling? Did you sell the green grouser? 😮

[@iainsbricks]

I only ever take one or two of each set with me. I sold a few Brickheadz though which I was pleasantly surprised with.

[@TheBrickGP]

Are you going to the Bristol brick show?

[@iainsbricks]

No, I'm afraid I won't be there.

[@c0nnerie71]

Have you monitize YT yet ?

[@iainsbricks]

Yes, I've had KZbin monetised since April last year

[@DenzX_NJ]

First

Excellent
