(...) Nice catch, John. You figured out what I saw pretty quickly too. Possibly, LEGO will be able to track the submission of an individual copyrighted model design like Nathan's SoL, but you never know. The cat's out of the bag, so we'll have to (...)

(...) Yes. I agree, and thats not including the fact that they are even more expensive in the UK. The price per piece might not be high but the sets are just too big.
