I received the January Shop at Home catalog today.  All of the new LoM sets

Probably the biggest news is the Train building contest.  Three age groups:
7-12, 13-17, 18+  The winners will have their designs document and published
by LEGO on lego.com plus receive $100 worth of LEGO product.

Hmm... tempting.

Na, 100 bucks isn't enough comp to lose the rights to one of my designs.

You miss the point.

1. It's an honor which is worth more than money can buy.

2. Maybe it's 100 bucks *at their price* for bricks.... (goes a looong way)

2. Here's a chance to design a set that has *great parts* in it-- think of it as
an exercise in bulk management and a community service:-)


Looks like the Neals have all of the age categories covered, so look out for a
1-2-3 sweep;^D
