I never argued that Adrain could not accomplish a uniquely designed mecha.
I guess I should have never brought annoying college football arguements
into this place but I do like the design of the mecha. I just wish that you
could design more LEGO pieces in rare colors.
I also have some new information. There have been two new colors added to
LEGO other than the dark orange from the Bionicle sets. The two new colors
are sand green and sand red. Sand red will be harder to find because it is
a newer color than sand green but it is every part as beautiful as sand
green. I like the color orange but I guess I was simply not thinking that day.
