Sorry, I should have been more specific. I was only speaking of the
building itself, not the contents. An empty building as fully realized as
this would be so preferrable to the hollow and vacant things that pass as
buildings in the Harry Potter line.

It's only a matter of time before they try marketing a set in this price range.
Actually, in Canadian dollars, the standard Mindstorms set runs well over
$325 *if* you can find it anywhere.
Keep up the great work. Are you planning to release any sort of
instructions or building tips to accompany this model?
