The 4ft Pirate
This is a "Photo dummy" 4ft pirate. It was used for promotional video and flyers. It is not a real mini-fig, it is but a hollow dummy. It came from England, and was lost for over a year on a boat.
Another sneak peek
Aok, this one is called "The Ultimate Weapon". It shows a sculpture by Nathan Sawaya in a docking bay being reoutfitted (and having her ears cleaned thanks to PENNLUG) to be a Weapon of Mass Destruction...Mega Maid anyone??
Coming in April...sneek peek
Aok, for all you space fans. Here is a sneak peek at what is coming in late April. We will be reopening full time, and adding a couple of new rooms. One is the SPACE ROOM.
This is a fan depiction of the falcon cockpit.
Created by accident, wanted by all.
This is a prototype test mold blast. This was created by accident, but for collectors like myself it is a very cool item.
It is small, only the size of a standard fig. But its worth to us is beyond belief. They normally destroy these little guys, but a few made it out of the factory.
Along with the Ghost prototype I give you "Darth Helmet".

Studs up Harry Potter(r) Mosiac
aok, this is a new one for us. We have a stud up Mosiac upstairs, but this is an original LEGO(r). It is framed in a metal frame, and it is a Dithered Mosiac. It looks better through a lense then in person. Or if you step back about 10 feet it looks amazing. This is one of a specific group of promotional Mosiacs.
Dan
