Just a heads up to any and all LEGO fans planning on attending the BrickSouth event in Atlanta GA. (This event takes place April 27 - 29, 2006)
There will be a new community building event - similar to the Space Moonbase, Trains & Town building events -to build Gotham!!
Since the new sets should be rolling out onto shelves shortly before that, it would be a great idea to start building now with your existing bricks. We've established a 'community standard' so that everyone's sets fit together. Here's the rules:
Gotham Standard: All buildings would be on bases that are multiples of 8 studs per side. This will allow common baseplates to be used - such as those from Harry Potter, Knights Kingdom, future Batman sets and Shop @t Home.
Buildings are to be set off the edge of the roadway. The three pegs from the edge of the roadway would act as a sidewalk space.
Protrusions from buildings must come off the front - not the sides or back - to allow for city building. Also, someone must make corner pieces.
Adult builders/Lego Master Builders could design skyscrapers for center of Gotham. Again, using bases with multiples of 8 pegs per side.
Height should be 6 bricks high
Colors to be used: Dark Grey (bley? - maybe Blocko or someone more familiar with LEGO could shed light on this?) Brown Black
Let's see what you can create!

That sounds really impressive. Can't wait to see what the final work will be like. Who's going to build the Wayne Foundation?

Oooo.... I like this. I want to see a Stacked Deck! Heck, maybe I'll buy some extra Legos when the Bat sets hit and make one for myself.
