I have been showing my robots for years at art shows and the like, I would
love for more people to do so, fact is they are are expensive, I produce a
new robot once every year or two. It would be great if TLC would move
towards this genre, but as I look at the size and complexity of the Robots I
create and if TLC would release simular "product" of comprable scale -boy
that would be an expensize set! However a note on my Creations is in order.
I make exploring robots based on natural forms, no weapons other than
natural body adaptations. That is to say points, spikes and claws, are what
seems natural and fits into place. I want a positive vision of the future. A
future where we do not arm our technology with weapons of mass destruction.
I admit the Mechs in the FASA corp are very cool looking, but take away the
weapons and what have you got?
Mech is an acronym for Mechanical warrior. I'm carefull not to call them
that. Ahhh never let an Artist bable.....ya lets do a show together and
inspire more to build giant Robots and Mechs! Especilly like the ones you
make K. Outy

You know looking at all the interesting mechs created by the people in this
forum it seems to me that a really great model exhibit could be put together
that could pull thousands of people into a museum or some kind of expo (um
mechspo). You'd think lego corporate would be interested in a
futuristic/forward thinking slant that could help sell their product and
would sponsor something like this. Yeah, lego train displays are fun, but
they are a quaint thing of the past. When kids see what cutting edge stuff
they can really do with these plastic parts they'll want more, a lot more.
