Does anyone know the piece
inventory for this tub? I could not
find it in the database. Yahoowee!
I got 13 of these bad boys. Need
to swap the green for white if
anyone is interested. Trying my
hand at the Eiffel tower, as an
artistic challenge. Wow! I refuse to
cheat and see how they did it at
Legoland. Can't wait to finish it to
compare them.
