I spent several hours at work today drooling over your Shay. Any chance we'll
get to see a little movie clip of the mechanism working?
I'll reply more to your Shay in another post :)

Luckily, the mosaic set is pure bullion for 1x1s. For $30 (I think), you can
get over 2000 pieces in white, black, and greys, and you get to choose the
distribution.

There a great little Mission Deep Sea Alpha Team set, #4791, Sub Surface
Scooter. It comes with two Droid Bodies in black, two dark grey harpoon guns,
two black 2x4 wing pieces, two black 2x2 domes, a dark grey 2x4 (?) winch, and
a handful of other great pieces, all for $7.00. It's one of my favorite piece
sets in the current product line!
Thanks for the kind comments, Will.
