I can't find the "Build Your Own" Mosaic link on the Lego site. I only see the 4 pre-packaged mosaics. Is it gone? Are they not offering the do-it-yourself service any more? I have a 6 panel Legolas Mosaic, ready to go! ---Will (22 years ago, 24-Jan-03, to lugnet.build.sculpture)

Will, Very nice. Whenever I go to a Japanese import shop I see lots of this little guy in porcelain. That's a very unique idea for a Lego sculpture. Bruce (22 years ago, 23-Jan-03, to lugnet.build.sculpture)
