Having watched this debate with some interest, I have a thought. How's this
for good hoax etiquette? If you do post something as a hoax (AT-AT not
withstanding) you must afterwards post the directions for making your phony
lego product. Then all those angry people still have an opportunity to build
that set they wanted so badly. (With the assumption that the parts are
available somewhere)
