We'd have a brand new theme of accidents for the Res-Q guys to clean up!(1)
Oh, and we can't forget the West Virginian Restaraunt to go along with the new

(...) Cows. Yes, we need more cows. All the breeds to be sure (holstein, jersey, guernsey, etc). And while your at it, add in some various barnyard animals. Has Lego ever made a 'farm' set ? Something with barns, silos, a farm house, etc ? Ray (27 years ago, 5-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)
