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.

Amazon.co.uk continues to give us images of the 2014 summer LEGO sets and this one gives us the LEGO Architecture Trevi Fountain (21020).

Construct a detailed LEGO brick model of the world-famous Trevi Fountain, the largest fountain in Rome. Designed by Nicola Salvi, the ‘Fontana di Trevi’ took 30 years to build and was completed by his friend – the sculptor, Pietro Bracci – in 1762, 11 years after Salvi’s death. This stunning Baroque monument carved from Travertine stone has been the backdrop for many classic movies, including Federico Fellini’s La Dolce Vita. And, today, over 250 years later, the 49-meter-wide fountain still draws thousands of visitors to the small Trevi square.
