They have all been mentioned different times since then, which is why I knew about them. (I’m vintage 2016.)

Well, for varying levels of “exists”. That’s not a Lego set. Sometimes you see knock off Chinese bricks, not sure how they get away with that. And there is a _huge_ community of Lego enthusiasts (my OP friend is one) who design their own “kits” (that only exist online) out of “real” Lego-spec bricks and figures. The internet is awash in these. Do they “exist”? Well… sorta?

Finally: is it really a BB kit if there’s no Walt or Jesse?

My OP Lego friend wanted to know if I could make a credible AI grandfather clock that could be made with actual bricks. I failed utterly: I kept getting clocks made of wood with Lego grandfathers. Or some other useless nonsense. Nothing someone could build.

So I said f-it and made some Cthulu Lego mantel clocks. Now we’re talking.

Not particularly credible, but pretty fun.

ETA I also tried dialing up a Lego skeleton clock [which is an actual thing that doesn’t involve skeletons](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeleton_clock), and of course got this:

Huh, is it 39 o clock already?

OK, I have to know: Did you tell it details in the prompt, or did it know on its own that the “alternate ending to Big” was supposed to include a new student coming to the school?

For what it’s worth, the real thing [has actually been done](http://www.ericharshbarger.org/lego/clock.html).

And your skeleton clock DOES, in fact, have its gears and other workings exposed. Though that’s an awful lot of workings for a single clock.

It says “Alter…something…Ending” on the blackboard. I assume that was also in the prompt somehow.
