Nice! But don't expect anyone to be fooled if you keep that disclaimer on.

Hehe... I'll keep that in mind when you put up pics of the new 2001 sets ;-)
I agree with what has been said here, that the hoaxes are all in fun, and even
give us something to talk about. Still, there were a few people who thought
(at first) that the AT-AT was real, and while some were condemning it, others
wanted it for the BURPs (hey, I wouldn't mind a BURP-set like that myself). So
it's not like no-one fell for it...
