Maybe one needs to produce a One-Nation membership card to get upsized.

The highlight for me was Rosco's crane. If it was mounted outside we could
have lifted the roof of the RSL to inspect the interior detail.
Luckily Richard was able to take the Indescribable out a side door before it
was confiscated by the RSL to be permanently displayed in a glass case in the
foyer. Modular is definitely the way to go when it comes to large castles.
Kev's magnificent Fort was great to see up close.
DaveL brought along some clones from the Peoples' Republic that look remarkably
similar to some specialised L pieces, even if crudely manufactured.
Dave's monkeys were in the thick of the battle, maybe some Ebola in the luggage
would have carried the day, but they were worn down in the end.
The Bricktorian space shuttle proved a rather nasty surprise for the home team
on the battlefield. Let's see more Technic there soon.
Hopefully the MUGs are safely home, without TOO many shop stops.
