So I took 'The LEGO Spooler' to a party. Assembled the first group of
excited people. Opened the shoe-box, lifted it out, started to say: "This
is...". Then, the bottom half disconnected, the top half fell on the coffee
table, and in five seconds it was a heap of parts. Moral of the story:
When it's cold outside, let it normalize at room temp for a while and then
check it over before trying to show it. And it was only -5C, here in Toronto.
Don't laugh too hard! But it's memory is still on my web site.
