I have no clue what’s up with those Italians, but turns out the small LEGO exhibition we went to had stuff built by the Linux … uh … LEGO user group Romabrick.
They’d even built the Forum Romanum, and I’d never known there were actual LEGiOnnair figures.
However, the coolest part, the one that took me right down memory lane, was a display of 30 year old space LEGO. Nothing custom built, just the original models (quite a few of which I had as a child) lined up in a moon landscape. Never thought I’d see any of those again …
