| Has anyone managed to crack open (without damaging the parts) one of the new 2x4 minifig-magnet bricks?

| (...) Hmm, I like both of those, but my idea is/was closer to the first. Not to cast a light, but to reflect an image: have a camera rigidly mounted (so the heavy stuff doesn't need to move), with a rotating mirror at 45° in front of it on a (...) (16 years ago, 24-Feb-08, to lugnet.parts.mod)
