You are kidding me again, Lar? You know my English is not the best and I had
to ask my dictionary which told me that "stud" means first any kind of studs
(like we know them from Lego, clothing etc.), but it has the second meaning of
a breeding cattle or horse too.
So if it is this, what you call me, hey, you must know I'm just a poor village
boy, my parents are farmers but I have a big brother (who owns a nice
collection of pitchforks), so let you be warned: don't try to pull my leg
on other days than April the first....
Regards,
Ben
BTW: no mass production planned, but maybe you should ask Mr. Brad Justus: if I
get two sets for free he can have the licence to bring it into the shelfes.
