Sounds awesome! But no, I didn't see that. Maybe someone has pics (?)
Another fab display by TLC was at the Mall of America LEGO store. There were
about five of these tall, slowly rotating cylindrical display cases. Fantasy
dioramas/scenes got refreshed every so often - intended to expand upon sets
being released. (Abner Findley was working there at the time.) Anyway, the
underground scene I'm thinking of was a setup of battling underground Space
factions. I can't remember exactly what sets were involved, I want to say
Roboforce. There were laser-fire fights, skelatal remains of giant creatures,
and stalagmites made of BURPs that opened to reveal weaponry aimed up. It used a
whole lot of dark gray bricks. Anyone else remember that? Todd would. I'll ask
him.
