The.only time Lego didnt help me

 I was a little upset at lego this date.  I got a pick a brick order.  The one piece was a computer type and it was a 2c2 piece...but it was/came as DUPLO.  There was no indication that it way to tell when I ordered.  Here's the screenshot






This is how the description appears in the next pick a  brick site below



The service person said well, that's what you bought and that it was clearly stated...I told her even the packing slip doesn't show the duplo logo

I ended the call and got a rep who was more understanding and worked with me ... I just am clearing the record that I was right.  I never get to be right.

Make sure you don't get duplo on pick a brick.  The one clue I could have used would have been the open studs

Here's another interesting thing about duplo and regular lego together...A gun pointed towards duplo rail...why would the duplo be on the same page?

Joy, excitement, heart palpitations. Christmas present came!!!

 I am absolutely ecstatic...the second part of my lego pick a brick came. It was my Christmas present.  I'd been waiting and voila.  Here's pics of the most beautiful pics of legos ever!!!

1st part of my order that came weeks ago














The 2nd part of my order came Monday and appeared like this









So I combined the full order and it looked like this




I'm telling you, Heart palpitations!!! However the little lego paddles can put me back in rhythm!!

All these are going to help as my goal with these are to make the following 2 structures as made by 2 builders on the net




The 3 pics above were from Peter Reid.
I wish I could have gotten all the pieces in light gray, but the contrasting colors of gray will add contrasts.

My backup plan is below


In summary, this book says it best

Alright, it's past my bedtime!!!!
