I noticed Chris Tracey has a note about it in his page (very cool page btw),
but to elaborate, there's a 6377 Delivery Center and a 6385 Fire House among
other things in one of those plexiglass enclosed dioramas that Lego used to
give to retailers.  It's a few minutes before the famous dancing piano
scene, and Tom Hanks hides behind it.


Thanks for the props Calum.  I haven;t updated the page in quite a
while.  Maybe I'll get to doing that in the next few weeks.  I watched
Big as well last night (I have the flu so it's justifiable ;)  It was a
very cool diorama, especially, the white and yellow skyscraper and the
small gray (pre-BURP yet very BURP-like) tunnel.

ps.  what was the name of the lazar game they were playing in the
store?  Is it 'Phazor' or something like that?
