Yeah, Russ, but aren't those built out of brown? I waited until I could secure
enough Yoda brown (which is almost dead-on correct for color matching them) to
build mine. As far as I know, the 1x1, 1x6, and 1x8 burnt orange brick didn't
even come out until the recently released Privet Drive set. So start pounding
the Bricklink pavement-- it took me four stores to get enough 1x1s (40 total).
Mine are still pretty rudimentary and not very close to the originals in terms
of detail; I was relying on the *color* to carry them:-)
BTW, I was talking to Mike Walsh and he expressed that he has *his* Annie and
Claribel in the wings and was just about ready to show them off-- sorry to
steal anyone's thunder! >;-D
