Ya , TLC should take notice of individual piece sales thru forms like e-bay,
brickbay, there is obvioulsy a demand for what the builder needs, They would
be smart to cash in, on the other hand we all know TLC is smart about making

a virtual place is the easiest setting...like a web gallery?

| (...) Piggybacking on an existing national lego convention would be a good route for a non-virtual exhibit. But I don't know of any such convention.
