How to Put a Lego Vehicle Together...

...without throwing it out the window!

Ah... you have to love Santa!  For months our precious son has been asking for the MTT... what is a MTT?  It is from a Star Wars movie and it is a big vehicle that apparently carries a lot of droids.  Leo had to explain this to us, because while we have seen the movies, we had no idea what this particular request was!  Well, since it is well-over $100 and also no longer in stores, Santa had to do the E-bay auction thing and after losing many to people with bigger wallets (or at least someone more willing to spend an arm and a leg) the illusive MTT was won.  

Little did we know that it would take over 5 hours to put together!

The 2 hour mark...

the 3 hour mark...
the 4 hour mark...
Janet taking Russ' pulse as he retreats into his happy place... oxygen standing by!
after 5 hours and change the MTT is assembled and ready to be destroyed by a 5 year old.
TA DA!!!!!
