Yeah, OK. Very strange. How much time do you have on your hands? Years
of thinking about how to get them out, and only now do you try poking a nail
into it? I think this a good example of how much Lego fans hate to ruin
parts. Luckily I don't own any Lego trash cans. Scott, can you please take
a picture of this rocking chair piece with the other one inside? I think
this would make an interesting site/newsgroup. Preferably site. Seriously,
I am not mocking you, I really think it would be fun to have several people
create a site devoted to removing Lego parts from other parts. How about
"Brick-Removing-People", or even "BRS-Brick Removal Specialists". This
could be really funny. Anyway, thanks for the information, although like I
mentioned before, I don't own any trash cans, so I guess I will have to buy
some and stick stuff into them.
