LFB, so you to ponder the take apart of a grand creation. Looks like there is wisdom to the sacrifice. Maybe we oughta have a Gardenslug meeting and help eachother take them apart, sort of like a mid-wife during birth! Legomaster (...) (23 years ago, 9-Mar-02, to lugnet.build)

True!, I just have reservations about taking the darn thing apart. I spent $1800 aquiring parts for it and I made it from 1995 to late 1997. It would be like losing a good friend. But only to make another or two or three. Thanks. Legomaster (...) (23 years ago, 8-Mar-02, to lugnet.build)

Take it apart. Lego, as a medium, is designed specifically to be recycled into new creations (where other artwork mediums are more permanent). I look forward to seeing what else you can build with those pieces! Good luck Adrian -- (...) (23 years ago, 8-Mar-02, to lugnet.build)
