If anyone finds out whether or not Color Forms stick to Lego, let me know. My mother
works for a company that makes the color form material and then sells it to the
companies that print on it. Therefore I should be able to get some loose pieces, or
if a group pooled some money together we could buy some in bulk. I think she brought
some home just the other day with some Disney characters printed on them, I'll have
to check.
