      Well, excluding the powered parts you could build it in the lego factory thing (not sure what they call it now.) Building it in that would be a test of one’s patience, I would think.

    This should be put on display where it can be seen & enjoyed by the public.  You seeing this Lucas?  There’s got to be a lobby in 1 of your office buildings that doesn’t have something as good as this.  Pay the man.
