That's pretty cool! Is the keyboard actually wavy, or is it just the picture? Is the screen stationary, or can it fold down?

Awesome lego action! Is it all 100% lego, or did you have to glue some of it?

Yes, I would like to know too if it is glued, because what if you drop it? Then you would have to completely rebuild your case :lol:
