This will most likely be the last time you can see this kit for a while, as it's being officially retired after the event:
Guess it's time Bubba & I started to think about a new kit. :0) The "Time Machine" is officially retired after next weekend.
- Lorne(Gump)Wheaton (@Lornewheaton) November 9, 2014 Having seen Lorne present the S.S. Professor kit many years ago in Los Angeles, I can say that seeing something like this is extremely rare and well worth any effort. (I flew from Seattle to Los Angeles just to see it.)
Also, please let me know if you have photos or videos to share after this event.
