Best-Lock, anyone? :) It's a military brick-system coup d'etat (imagine
diacritical)!

This could improve sales of the LEGO Disassembly Tool That Cannot Be Named™,
which, I will point out, has passed all Y2K compliance tests.

Y2K Automated Teller: Comes with 12 minifigs, 40 1x2 green "$100" tiles, 80
gold coins of various denominations, a series of shock absorbers and technic
pieces, and and 12 little 4L antennalet pieces for "billy clubs." When
triggered, the ATM spews "money", and your minifigs get to fight it out with
their sticks! Live the excitement of social breakdown *today*! OPTIONAL
WAL-MART BONUS PACK: Includes a re-release of "Outback Racer" in green and
brown for the little survivalist in your family!
Y2K Shopper: Includes no minifigs, but allows you to build a small store with
empty shelves. Also includes 60 trans-neon-orange flames to simulate the store
on January 2. Warning: Includes simulated broken window glass that could be
harmful if swallowed; not for children under 10.
best,
Lindsay
