Just thought I'd repost this in case people missed it. If nobody else here goes there, I'm gonna be awfully lonely sitting in a big pile of Legos.:) Ah, well.

(...) I was staggered at the notion that it is a perfect 42 _floor_ cube. Let's see, that's 176,400 square feet per floor, times 42 floors, equals almost 7,500,000 square feet of living space. Not bad for $800K. -Adam 8^D (24 years ago, 16-May-00, to lugnet.loc.us.mi.grr, lugnet.off-topic.fun)

My local TRU now has a good stock of these, and so I was able to pick up my raincheck for 45 at their recent 14.99 sale price. I stocked up on ZNAP at the same time, taking my purchase over 1000 USD and thus qualifying for the extra 3 percent off. (...)
