Thanks Bob! Unfortunately there is the matter of creating instructions,
which would be a Herculean task, and the price would be a lot more than you
might think. There are two remote control units and eight motors; assuming
you can get the motors cheaply, that is $330 already, not including cables.
Then there are the lights, leadscrews, and the matter of a few thousand
bricks - I guesstimate around 3000, but it could be more. And then there
would have to be a something in it for myself, doing this is hard work :-)
Of course Lego could do a similar kit more cheaply, but it would still be
seriously expensive.
This is one of the great things about being an AFOL; you can build things
that really are just not economically feasibile in the real world ;-)
