The Springfield Brick Convention has rescheduled their August 5th and 6th date to August 19th and 20th to increase the capacity and size of the event, according to a news release from Brick Convention. The LEGO fan convention will be twice the size as originally planned at the MassMutual Center. The Springfield Brick Convention will be one of the largest LEGO events in the world, so early booking is highly recommended before they sell out.
