      Yes - I received my very own copy just yesterday, as a complimentary gift from DaisyWorld - it's really, really nicely done. I had read good things about it, and seen the pictures that were impressive already. But holding it in your hands and real life unpacking - awesome stuff!

    Hallo Jeroen,

    Klinkt goed die nieuwe Metroesquivelpole Orchestra! Het doet mij denken aan vroeger: je had toen van die plaatjes met de vraag: Zoek de zeven verschillen... Dit plaatje is wat dat betreft niet gemakkelijk, maar wel erg leuk natuurlijk!

    Utterly wonderful - the production design in spot on, the sound is great. It's like Christmas morning when you get it.
