Ooooh!
 
Aaaaahhh!
 
Eeeeeehh!
 
That's pretty sweet. Wouldn't mind having one if it was cheaper.
 
I used to drive past the Lego US headquarters in CT on my way to East Longmeadow, MA to get to the home office of my employer. It's a bit odd. The headquarters is pretty impressive, but it's right across the road from a medium-security prison.
 
Wow! Okay, do NOT tell my boyfriend about this! Ever! He's bad enough with the expensive Star Trek Lego sets.
 
I have one just like it in my basement only larger and with a tube that attaches to the wall. I followed the tube and found it leads to a tunnel that goes on for miles. The worst thing is that since I first noticed it, small household items have been disappearing out of thin air as if they had been sucked into another dimension.
