Philly Brick Fest 2014 LEGO Event Kit Ben’s Discovery (PBF001) Review

April 24, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Philly Brick Fest 2014 Ben's Discovery (PBF001)

Today was the first day of AFOL & Exhibitor registration for Philly Brick Fest 2014 and inside my goodie bag was an exclusive LEGO event kit for particular registrants, Ben’s Discovery (PBF001). This minifigure is one of Philadelphia’s finest residents and his work in proving that lightning is electricity, Benjamin Franklin.

He is created from Bilbo Baggins’ torso and Shakespeare’s hair piece. There is also his kite and the key that is attached to the string. He is housed in a clear standard baseball card case. Overall, Ben Franklin is a pretty cool and exclusive minifigure to add to my LEGO collection.
