Includes a spinning mobile of bi-planes above it making a rat-a-tat noise.
Lego Empire State Building

Over 5 foot tall but no bi-planes. [Aristotle, Jun 24 2009]
'Queen Kong'
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075113/
Spoof of 'King Kong' made in 1976. Not much of a film by all accounts (can't say that I've had the pleasure myself) but notable for using the 'Tucktonia' model village (long since closed down alas!) to represent London. [DrBob, Jun 24 2009]
The International Association of Miniature Parks
http://www.i-a-m-p.....org/aboutparks.asp
This stuff is so popular that there's even an international association of it! [DrBob, Jun 24 2009]

I assume it's designed so I can climb it and cling to the top? |
|
| |
You may or may not wish to thump your chest and bellow. |
|
| |
Can I take girls up there?? :D |
|
| |
Also, will the inside be accessible? Having little tykes filing papers in there and such would be a real treat. |
|
| |
I read this as 10 inch Empire State Building...I guess it's the whole Spinal Tap thing |
|
| |
Listen. [21 Quest] is full of shit. This is a great idea. + |
|
| |
//Can I take girls up there?// |
|
| |
[daseva], a Barbie doll could be provided for you to gaze lovingly at
before swatting at those pesky airplanes overhead. |
|
| |
//I'd like to place order for 2 sets// |
|
| |
[21], you want two? To jump from one to the other? Or to compete
against someone head-to-head in a Most Menacing Roar competition? |
|
| |
+ A mat made of shredded tire bits and designed too look like the city below should be included, to protect the little "Kong's" when they are inevitably shot down. Climbing down would be anti-climactic after a long battle. |

H'bakers! You are allowing your love for the legend, [the leopard] and the toy to color your Halfbakery logic.A model of the Empire St. Bld. is readily available on Amazon- minus the mobile; it is a "take x and make it bigger" kind of idea.
I'm giving it a + |
|
| |
//"take x and make it bigger"//
I'm fairly sure that this is a "take x and make it smaller" idea, unless my last trip to NYC was a figment of my beer-fuddled imagination. |
|
| |
You can buy 10-foot replica Empire State Building climbing frames on
Amazon?! We live in a wonderful world. |
|
| |
Nice idea [(mans)laughter], consider it implemented. |
|
| |
Aaah, that eternal gift (the one that keeps on giving) from Zachary Richard springs to mind... |
|
| |
By the way, my faustian friend, how far away is Mephistopheles? He must have Goethe by the short and curlies by now? |
|
| |
Still 43 big ideas away [4whom], I can hardly feel the hairs on the back
of my neck beginning to singe! |
|
| |
As for Zachary Richard, er... Who Stole My Monkey? |
|
| |
I think this is a great idea. Unfortunately it kind of
takes away the glory of spitting over the side, but
hey...you still might get lucky and hit an ant or
something. + |

If I remember correctly, Faust's epiphany occurred about halfway into the program (maybe with 43 to go). Suddenly realising that all his wisdom could never be condensed to a single field. But I suppose that is what the tale is all about. Are you any less creative, or wise, if your sphere of insight is not concentrated to one, and only one, of several possible foci. And if you do spread yourself, who would be the loser....? At some point you have to feel, selfishly, richer for the experience. Although, of course, you *do* get swallowed up by the devil. |

Congrats on another good idea, you souless thought plunderer! |
|
| |
Thanks... although "thought plunderer" might be an over-zealous
embellishment. They be my ideas (albeit partially assisted by the Dark
One); I'm not some kind of mind-pirate, ruthlessly dredging up the
thoughts of others, cackling like some demented brain-buccaneer on
the high seas of innovation. Far from it, me-hearties. |

Thankfully, someone out there is trying to Save me, as it's now 44 to
go. |
