It's a bigger mountain to climb when it is a theme that LEGO is already producing. Chances are they may have already thought of something similar and nixed it from production or queued in the pipeline for some future date.

Nice work. Good details. I think the first bat projection looks better than the second one.

Re: LEGO bulk sales policy update related to artist Ai Weiwe

They are called LEGO Certified Professionals or LCP. Master Builder is the title for the head builder at LEGOLAND. LEGO has some influence over LCPs as LEGO controls the title and qualifications.

Re: S7 banner on homepage

Looks like Amazon.fr is no longer offering it for sale. Perhaps it is still counted as click through ad traffic. ;)
