Folks, wanted to give everyone a heads up to this before the fact so maybe someone out there can get some nifty screen captures for me...

(...) Very cool Eric, as always. I remember seeing earlier this year they had LEGO bust of all the Today show host one morning. I forgot the reason behind it but they did have one of the LEGO master builders on the show. There must be a LEGO fan (...) (21 years ago, 9-Sep-03, to lugnet.mediawatch)

Congrats, eric. I'll Tivo the show Wed morning, but I don't really have a way of getting it onto a computer. @8^/ Hope someone else can grab stills. Looking forward to seeing the bust. What will the scale be? Will the hair be all-orange? Only time (...) (21 years ago, 10-Sep-03, to lugnet.mediawatch)

Thanks, Mike... I will include a pic on my webpage (and give you credit). The model had obviously been damaged during shipping... to see the undamaged model, I have a write up at this webpage: (...) (21 years ago, 10-Sep-03, to lugnet.mediawatch)

Well, there's no doubt the whole thing did not go as smoothly as I had hoped, but I was pleased with how the model looked (while it was fully intact). More importantly the client was pleased with it (pleased enough that they agreed to buy it). (...) (21 years ago, 11-Sep-03, to lugnet.mediawatch)

(...) I'd have to agree. The whole thing played out rather stiff, with the Today show folks trying to create a wacky, outrageous situation (aping Conan's style?) and failing pretty miserably. Then again, live TV comedy is pretty tough. Anyhow, the (...) (21 years ago, 12-Sep-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
