Yes- some bits that stand out at the moment in my mind (I can't mention them

construction worker buried in bricks
evil black-clad guy and rope-wrapped damsel on the tracks

We've had a "Where's Timmy" challenge with 20+ Timmy figs scattered around
the layout doing various things. And we handed out checklists with a hint
for each one. That was a big crowd pleaser at Legoland last year.

We too used to have a skyscraper with the rear half of an airliner sticking
out of it. Again... that was funny 5 months ago.
