A beautifully designed box - very clever design. The folder is not yet public, so I can only base my eval on this one pic, but it is enough for me. Lee.

Sanctified Bovine! That's cool.

Couple of questions:
How sturdy is the carrying handle?
What is that blue thing hanging off the side of the opened box?

I love the animals. The aardvark is inspired.

The colours are a bit wild for my taste (hey, I'm in my 40's) but I'm sure they'd be a winner with the younger kids.

Now the money question: How much would Lego Factory charge for this gem?

I would envision this for the pre-teen years starting around 5 or 6. Looks like it has a lot of playability in a compact design. Making the animals brickbuilt allows for alternate animals perhaps. Good Job.

Fantastic work as always, Megan! The box itself is excellent, but I love the tiny brick-built creatures. (Blogged!)

Thanks Dunechaser!

It’s always to great when BB notices my work! :)

The response has been far greater then I thought.!
I’m so stoaked!

It was a good challenge for me to get the right character into those tiny beasties.

Nicely themed products. Here's the money question: When will you do a castle themed box?

Thanks :)

I wanted to make something to inspire kids to build, and have a lot of playability.

I know the Astro Box isn't a Castle theme-but thought you guys would like to see it.

I would like to do a Castle box-I'm rounding up some more bricks to do so!

Cheers-

Megan
