I have to say that viewing this "professionally made" pedestal first put the
idea into my head to buy no more LEGO.
The pedestal and other sculptures at "Fortress TRU" are made mostly from
parts that have not been made available to consumers, in particular 1x3s in
rare colors and transparent bricks. Some other customers were talking about
the rare color--they assumed it wasn't LEGO at all.
It's the same reason why some fans will never go to Legoland. It just makes
us unhappy, like playing with a kid who brags about how many toys he has and
won't share.
That pedestal for the SOL drove me straight to my current spree of
clone-brand buying. Though I can't say those clone brands are any more
satisfying.
