High praise indeed - thanks...

[The MB] helicopter is so awesome I've bought (at last
count) 24 of them.

Ahhh, I don't feel quite so sheepish about how many I bought now :-)

They're a great resource for red 2x4 bricks, white 2x4

of quality do you need for castle walls, ship hulls, seas and grass?

Bring on the Whitehouse set - gleaming white starship hulls.......

(...) Goodness gracious that's a big boat! As much as I would love to see it in person, I really like the presentation of the pix on your page.
