(...) the bricks come from? Are the segments a standard design? Who developed it? Were the millipede segments prebuilt or built on site? Was this an official sanctioned LEGO event? Was it an official world record event? Thanks! (24 years ago, 22-Sep-02, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.build, lugnet.events)
