Issue #5 of D.C.'s "The Spectre" has a page *full* of hidden lego elements. (At least 9 surefire lego elements). I'd tell you exactly what but that'd spoil all the fun (I had a blast looking through and trying to find all the little things). It's (...)

You're about as representative as anybody else, as there's no organisation, so go for it. Of course, I retain the right to stone you to death with BURPs if I don't like what you say :-) 'course, if we've got an official representative, we might have (...)
