Brick Fest LiveReviews of brickfestlive.com

Attended brick fest many years ago and my kids had a blast. When we heard it was coming to town again we got tickets (3 tickets ~$75). We waited in a long line to enter and when we finally got in, it was just a sad, sparsely set up convention hall with stations to play with the same Legos we all have at home. Some of the builds were impressive but there were so few of them. The lego store at our Mall of America is probably better (with no admission or paid parking). To top things off, my daughter was interested in purchasing one of the Lego sets available in the retail area. There were no prices listed, and when we finally found a guy to scan a price, the set was $20 more than at Target! Save your money, definitely not worth it.

Brick fest was on 10 Aug and our order still hasn’t arrived and it is26 Aug. we have one very sad grandson.

Total scam. This thing was the biggest waste of money. I was overcharged for “secret early access” vip tickets ($35 each) that were allegedly discounted. When they officially went on sale they were $25. The hours were supposed to be 9a-5p. Our admission time was at 1pm. We get there and it’s just like, a few little building stations, some larger builds to look at, a booth to buy legos, and the little LEGO pit thing. It all seemed very small (? for lack of a better word) and not an actual event or festival. Just a few little booths with activities we can do at home. One of the booths was for coloring lol. You get a picture of a Lego man and some markers and color the picture. We stopped at that one at 3:30 and was told they were closing down. When I asked when the event closed, she told me 4. Everything advertised 9am-5pm. Basically I paid over $100 to look at a few legos for a couple hours. I was livid.

Absolute Garbage, AVOID! Attended the event at the NEC a couple of months back and was left very disappointed. Please do not waste your money on these con artists.

Avoid at all costs. Terrible terrible company.

This place is absolutely ridiculous and feels scammy! I preordered vip tickets for their show in Council Bluffs. It's now two weeks before the event and I was notified via text that the event has been cancelled and is "tbd for sometime in April 2025" and that my tickets would transfer. I contacted them to get my money back, as this will NOT work for my family and I was told this is "non-refundable" but I'm more than welcome to transfer my tickets to a friend or family member! Are you kidding me??? YOU cancel the event but say my tickets are still not refundable? Absolutely unacceptable.

My family and I purchased tickets for the Uniondale event. We spent $200 purchasing the VIP package for our family. Not only were we HIGHLY disappointed in the event itself but also the fact that we overlooked the tons of negative reviews we read on multiple sites. VIP gets you a small build of the event’s mascot and some pendant . There are no additional vendors! Slim selection of items in their store (which is priced higher than Target/Walmart). I noticed the tons of 5 star reviews for Uniondale and wouldn’t be surprised if these were all bogus. According to posts, this event tours all over the US but have recently done tours in Germany and England with absolutely horrific reviews. Definitely, they’re doing some sort of “cash grab” scam if they’re getting the same reviews from other Lego lovers in other countries. Do yourself a favor and go to your local LEGO store or Legoland! When we complained along with other attendees, we were given a standard email. At that point we pretty much chalked it up to us losing $200!!!

What a travesty this event was. It was advertised as a fun family day out, with lots to see. Should have been advertised as please waste your money and be bored. There were limited areas to do building, no instructors one place to eat within the arena, very few figures made. My children and I were looking forward to this and were so disappointed we left after an hour. To make matters worse, I have asked for a refund and emailed a total of 16 times and apart from the first initial reply have been ignored. Do not go to any events this provider is offering, their customer service is shocking.
