Heya!
I know I've been away for a while, but I assure you, it's all for a good cause. Hopefully you'll think it's worth it when you get your LEGO catalogs in the mail early next year.
In the meantime, I'm happy to announce that my second LEGO set is finally on the market. Woo-Hoo! I have to warn you though--this is no $20 airplane :)
Weighing in at a cool 2056 bricks, 10182 Cafe Corner is a whopper of a set. It just went up for sale today at LEGO Brand Retail stores and at Shop@Home for a mere (cough, cough) $139.99! It's a lot of money, for sure. But I'm hoping that it offers a completely unique and exciting building experience that makes the price a little easier to swallow. It's been something that I've always hoped that LEGO would release and I'm just happy that they trusted me enough to finally make it a reality.
BrickJournal interviewed me about a month ago to find out how the whole project developed. You can read all about it in the issue that just came out today:
