Most of the takers were wee tackers while their parents were off doing other
gaming type stuff, but it did demonstrate the simplicity and robustness of the
rules. By the end of each day little more was required than keeping an eye on
things to make sure tantrums weren't thrown (and more imporantly that LEGO
wasn't thrown either).

I'd like to second those thanks, particularly to Ryan who was dragooned into
helping on several occasions, as well as doing a very attactive Ewok treehouse
for Sunday's Endor Moon display.

Big Hello to all those people we met who are reading this post! Nice to've met
you!
Richard modestly neglects people saying, Oh man! No way! A Thunderhawk! The
large dropship from the 40K universe. Megablock hull but well cool none the less
(and more swooshable than the ARC fighter from LEGO).
The other highlight was a motorised, Radio Controlled Hellfire droid. The one
from the second episode with the big wheels. So cool! And moved so nicely.
In the end, not nearly as tireing as I had thought it might be and not a brick
went missing.

Ditto. Did I mention how cool the RC Hellfire droid was?
