Arghgggghh!
Please don't post things like this without a disclaimer noting clearly that
it's NOT A REAL SET!  Even in the context of this contest, it's still SOOOO
cruel to make it sound real it first when it's not April Fool's Day.

What'll certainly happen (just watch!) is that your article labelled "Classic
Space set 6888" will get marked as "Spotlight" by a few people and it will
appear on the homepage.  Someone who's a die-hard Space collector (like me,
or Dave Lovelace, or Matt Chiles) will see it, recognize that 6888 wasn't a
real number, and freak out with excitement.  Then they'll click in and see
a beautful set, to be sure, but it's not real.  What a disappointment.  :-(

That said,
Great job!!!!!!!!!   It's wonderful!!!!!!!!

I don't want to rain on the parade, but does not the use of the red Lego logo
on the cover of the "instructions" actually violate the "Fairplay" rules
established by Lego?
