I wish I had this kind of spare time available for play. It would be a lot of fun to make it all work together. watched the video, lots of spare parts. Its a adult toy that you would have to be very careful about. hopefully no blue prints get out.

The security guard from 'The Department Of People With Too Much Time On Their Hands' (TDOPWTMTOTH) wants his gun/puzzle back.
