Wouldn't it be brilliant to fake a lego box of a large, obviously one off
Moc, set it up at a public show and everytime your asked that question
direct them to the nearest Toys 'R' Us:-).

Tell them also that if they've 'sold out' that the staff know nothing and
they should ring Lego Direct :-)

I've discovered that a LOT
of people don't see LEGO as a creative medium on ANY level (perhaps that's
cause their kids just build sets?).  LEGO hasn't touted the 'limitless
possibilities' aspect of their products in recent years as much as they have
pushed pre-fab themes, licensed items, etc.

In my youth, my cousins seemed to think that Lego models where meant to be
bashed together until destroyed.
