Fear and Loathing in LEGO Vegas
Cyin (CAI on Classic-Castle Forums) quotes from Hunter S. Thompson’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas to introduce his latest creation:
We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like “I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive…” And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, which was going about a hundred miles an hour with the top down to Las Vegas.
Awesome Cadillac! It looks a bit big at first, but that’s only because we’re used to seeing tiny little cars for minifigs. Cyin’s Caddie is wonderfully proportional, and the larger size enables him to add details impossible in a smaller vehicle.

And his sidekick Dr. Gonzo:

@JOHN: I suspect Raoul wasn’t asking in general where to buy LEGO — that’s pretty basic. Most people who ask questions like this want to know where they can buy the specific creation we’re featuring. In general, you can’t. But thanks for trying to help!
