Body: <p>I was wondering if there is a big European event where new sets and custom sets are shown, and maybe deals on sets or pieces, something like an E3 for LEGO or something similar. I looked on Google but I could only find the Lego World in Netherland, but I could not determine if it is the biggest one.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have any more information?</p>

If you watch the various forums, especially [www.EuroBricks.com](http://www.EuroBricks.com), you'll see excited posts like [this one about Star Wars](http://eurobricksstarwarsforum.com/2014/01/29/rebels-sets-revealed-at-nuremberg-toy-fair/) around the time of the fair.
