| | | | | Way to max out the playability, Tony. I might have to dig out my manas too. My favourite detail, though, has to be the minifig exposed on the top. It reminds me of the early days of Lego Space. Peace and Playability, Professor Whateverly (URL) (19 years ago, 7-Jan-06, to lugnet.space, FTX)
