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.

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)

Further, the hosts made a big deal of pointing out the fact that he (...) (21 years ago, 12-Sep-03, to lugnet.mediawatch)
