Yup - they thought the tanks weren't "appropriate" for a Lego display... But I
had another nice gentleman (who I suspect was in a tank crew at some point in
his life) asking about a couple of the tanks, and commenting on how well they
were built. I prefer to remember the people like him!

Yup - fill the "martini shakers" and pay by volume, not weight. So if you've
got the time to stick all the pieces together, you can really squeeze a good
amount of bricks into the cup. The selection is kinda strange, but I suppose
that's part of the fun. *grin*
The employees at the LIC are experimenting (in their spare time) to see just
what is the best way to pack pieces into the cups. It's pretty funny to watch!
JohnG, GMLTC, planning on heading back for more 'pick a brick' later this
week.... :-)
