To quote Swiper Fox: Awww MAN! (Why yes,
my sister *does* have small children, why
do you ask?)
Well, not much chance of me stopping building,
but it does put a serious kink in my plans to
build a life-size model of the Death Star in
dark grey for Brickfest 2004. (No, not really.
As in, not really planning one, that is.)
But so long as the community remains what it
is, joy will remain in the Brick for me. So
in the end that's what's important. Thanks for
sharing this tidbit, Jeff--however sad it may
be for the chromatic (or, in my case, grayscale)
purists among us.
