I am sure you are correct. I mentioned it in order to spark conversation and
ideas for sets. I don't remember having heard of it before but if I
misrepresented I do apologize, I am not here to seek credit only chat with
other collectors.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with building your own animals, parts,
people, etc., etc. etc. I believe Steve and myself were just throwing around
some ideas for animals we wanted to see. We also did not specifically say we
wanted SPUD pieces, we just want to see the animals in whatever form possible
because even a poor attempt by TLG is better than no attempt.

I should have been more specific here, I was aware of the Duplo sets. These
however fall into your SPUD category and are hardly worth coupling with
regular legos in my opinion. Again that is just my opinion.

We all have a right to our opinions and again I say any piece is better than
no piece.

See the above answer again. Keep in mind we are only chat room guests not
Lego Group developers. It would be nice to think they are listening in but I
think that would be very wishful thinking.

Play well also Jacob,
Mark L the SPUD champion (I guess)
