I am happy to say that, well, 99% of the models that were due are over there. I have accidentally left behind a part of the police station (little oops) but I intend to carry that over if I can (my dad just found it today!). I have before you guys a photo essay from last night, the submission day.
With things busy over there and the need to settle in, I can't really conclude in writing just yet because certain things have to wait for me to be the judge of them. I'll put in my concluding thoughts when this store operates as stable as the Aventura location.
This project was an expenditure of two months of my life, 200+ man-hours, and innumerable opportunity costs.
This is the pick-a-brick wall of the store. The dimensions are 18x6 bins, making it 108 selectable bins. Aventura, for good measure, is 14x6 and Orlando is 36x6. I am happy that the Sawgrass location at least exceeds 100 bins and is at least half the size/capacity of Orlando (which used to be larger).
An overview of the store. For good measure Aventura has a 2x3 brick in the ceiling.
Originally making out, the figs from the theater made it in like so. I think, because I was carrying them the other way, it dawned on me the face was wrong, or that the fig rotated a little. FWIW, a kissing couple is not inappropriate in LEGO's terms. In fact, that is one of their own models.
Knocking down a wall of the big 22.5"x12.5" LEGO store was required to fit in the display case, since I can't 'math' a way to get it in fully. Because my mom and one employee, both not knowing the instructions, tried rebuilding it and did it wrong, I built the wall from the ground up as a mirror to the left wall. 20 minutes wasted!
Fast food, AKA McTolga's. Armando from my school made up the McTolga's bit on a Facebook comment. You can see the setup then the enclosure with the post-it re-labeled "McTolga's" :)
A close-up on the pick-a-brick wall. Meh selection except for a couple of dark red elements (not shown). Luckily the lime studs saved me over on the wasabi bowl.
