I'm sure they know we want this in America, but I don't think it is
possible. Last I knew, all the models for the California Park were being
built in England. If this is true then there just aren't any master builder
workspaces at the LL CA. And no Master Builders to show off models.
I think the best we could see at LL CA would be an up close tour of
miniland. See how everything works. That would still be cool. And maybe
they could fly in a Master Builder to explain some building techniques. The
only thing missing would be the huge amount of rare lego parts.
