Yay cool. I just wish the San Jose thing where a bit earlier, 'cause I'm

One thought -- might this fit with a more general "lego gaming" theme?
LegoWars springs immediately to mind, and that thing Steve Jackson was (is?)

it is very combat-oriented -- I certainly don't want MY lego broken. Is any
of this more violent than, say, football or wrestling?
