Fantastic! I'd love to see pics of it in use if you happen to get a chance.

@mediamogul definitely. The 100+ pieces should be here in a couple weeks. I'll either build it or pawn it off to my nephew as a cheap excuse for him to do something "for fun" that's actually for me.

Got the lego parts today. Build it asap looks great, but I think I will reinforce it with some superglue.pics will follow.

A builder's best friend. I look forward to seeing the pics.

@bense2k cool!

@bense2k

Very cool indeed.

My set got lost in transit, so Lego is express shipping me another. I'm glad to see that it builds and holds the Pi so nicely.

I ordered mine on the 28th and my order still has status of "In Warehouse".

I don't know what their deal is. I've talked with some people who got their order within three days and others who had to wait three weeks. You'd think this sort of distribution problem wouldn't exist at a company the size of LEGO.

@mediamogul
I just picture in my head, 2 or 3 warehouse employees with flashlights looking in random boxes on shelves looking for just 1 piece at a time.

I finally received my Legos yesterday! Took almost a month to get to me (ordered: Dec. 28th 2016 and arrived: Jan. 21st 2017). I could say I ordered them last year and finally got them this year!

Anyways I'm happy with how they turned out and I was a little bit anxious putting them together and wondered if I would be missing a piece or I ordered something wrong but to my relief I had the exact blocks needed to build this!

Here are the pictures:

Hey, looks great! My order came in sometime last week, but it was promised to a friend, so I don't know if all the pieces were accounted for. Even though it came all the way from Denmark, a little over a month and a half for delivery surprised me from a company as big as LEGO. All's well that ends well though.
