For W & M 10s don't forget to stick around to pick up the last pack of the orienteering set tomorrow. For anyone wondering... the sets are the brain child of the AOC prize designers. What started as a simple idea evolved into a very complex Lego order, lots of sorting, sealing, folding, 3d printing, sticking and glueing. We hope the kids like them! Unfortunately we are sorry to say that we don't have any spares.
