Ha! You didn’t see the way cool Mega Block -New Dark Gray- stone shaped bricks
in the house foundation! ;) Not really... but I have long since believed that
anything is fair game. I have seen prototypes of LEGO sets with painted and
mutilated elements. I think of it of out of the box thinking... Look at Rob’s
lighted minifigs - now product (with no credit to Rob). And heck if it was a few
years ago and I stuck a MB extreme skateboard ramp in there for a skateboard
park scene that too would have been foreshadowing!
Back on topic... I totally agree with Kelly, should anyone notice the train
wheels (which for some reason I seriously doubt) that would be great to get the
attention of someone that into trains! Maybe a potencial new GPLR member!
As for the “where can I buy this train?” - there is no stipulation about MOC vs
LEGO sets in the display from LEGO (I wonder how this might play out). And this
can either be used as a great conversation starter about LEGO being a
construction toy, not a glue-less model company or not. But again I doubt that a
young min wage part time employee would muster that level of discussion or even
know how. None of the employees in PDX are AFOLs or even YAFOLs that I know of.
oh crap... I think that feel-good build session is waring off, I’m bitter again!
;)
Thanks for you comments John, nice to hear from you!

I find it interesting that they let you
use non-Lego (gasp!) wheels from BigBenBricks.com. I can’t imagine the
number of people that will ask “where can I buy this train?”
Or, did you just sneak that past them? <grin>
