I like the model on that page. It is a very nice vehicle. I also agree
that the hamburgers at McDonald's are horrible but since we are talking
about restaurants, McDonald's has made a few select LEGO sets and LEGO has
also made some McDonald's restaurant sets but maybe you can talk to someone
else such as Todd or Suzanne about those sets. The only people that would
eat a piece of LEGO chicken would be a LEGO person. I think that plastic
would not taste very well in my mouth.
