(16,616 posts)When you look down into the coliseum, are you actually looking at the area that was beneath the field (all those rows and walkways)? Like, with the field removed so you can see "underground"?
In the movie Gladiator, that is mostly an open field.
Or is he saying, they've rebuilt it since ancient times so that it's no longer an open field?
It's impressive as hell.

mini-unblock and i have done a number of these (not this one in particular, though) and he really enjoys them.
but there's *always* a piece or two missing and a few odd ones extra. they're really close to being giving us the perfect count of every piece, but never 100% correct.
the first time, we thought we must have lost a piece on the floor somewhere, but since then we dump everything in buckets and are very careful, so we're sure it's the packaging that's off.
still lots of fun, but yeah, it can be rough if you're a perfectionist....

I'm more of a fan of the general Lego sets anyway.
