+
+When I saw that `a LEGO enthusiast <http://www.mahjqa.com/>`_ had
+built a `Tachikoma in LEGO
+<https://secure.flickr.com/photos/28134808@N02/sets/72157629326232386/>`_,
+[*]_ I knew I had to build it for myself.
+
+The `Rebrickable page <http://rebrickable.com/sets/mahjqa/tachikoma>`_
+provides the parts list in the XML format used by `Bricklink
+<http://www.bricklink.com>`_, so I did the obvious thing: set up an
+account on Bricklink and ordered all the parts (from 16 different
+sellers!). I'm not going to say how much it cost…
+
+Building has not been easy: even with all the pictures, and the help
+of the LEGO Digital Designer (essentially, a CAD for bricks), it took
+me about 7 hours to put together the less than 900 pieces.
+
+Was it worth it? See for yourself:
