Man, that would be great!!! You could build any set even if you didn't have
all the pieces you need, because the holodeck could create any pieces that
you're missing!
Wanna play with the original yellow castle for a while? "Computer: Load
LEGO set number three seven five. Run program."
Need more 2x4 bricks? "Computer: two million 2x4 bricks, red and black.
And tea, Earl Gray, hot."
Man, but what I'd really wanna use the holodeck for would be to play inside
a LEGO model after it was built! -- to exist at the scale of a minifig. You
can't shrink yourself, but you could ask the holodeck to make the pieces
gigantic. :) "Computer: increase model scale five thousand percent."
And the pieces would *be* that big! "Yeah man! let's drop down through the
atmosphere of Saturn and go Mynok hunting!!! Reeeooowwwww! Blap, blap,
blappppp! Fizzoooooo!"
