Hmmm - wonder if you've got those magical pockets that can take just about
anything up to a mile-wide asteroid? :-)

Send me an ebay sold page stating that price as what someone paid for
aforementioned lint, and we can talk. But that's about all we'd be able to
do anyway. <g>

Who knows, mate? Although the origin did sound interesting. I'm not sure
how many clone brands would actually want to set up shop in the home country
of LEGO. ;-)

Hmmm - an igloo that allows you to turn it to whichever side is easiest to
gain access from? Could have possibilities, mate. Nobody thought selling
fridges to Eskimos would work, until someone found out they stopped the food
from getting too cold as easily as it normally stopped it from getting too
hot elsewhere. *dingdingding* We have a winner!! :-)
