Maybe 'most people not in Tom's circle' :-) Richie's circle is rather
impressive affair in my experience. Largely happy and open-hearted folks
too. Go figure. Not so auspicious a circle as the inestimable Tom no doubt
(perish the thought), but even so...
I'd buy this set. Buckets of it ;-) And I most certainly like the idea,
despite it being rather unlikely.

I'll pass on extending the whole 'if *Tom Stangl* was in charge of Lego'
thingie. Its difficult, but I think I can do it <<grits teeth>>

WW2 eh? There goes the 'being in charge of Lego' thingie.
