There are always some cool parts on most RRB builds, but I don't think I have ever seen a parts list for any of the builds.

What are you building with? Sometimes it's easy for the rest of us to miss some of the cool parts that you are using.

Now this is fun! It's pretty cool seeing the lists and then later going back to the builds and playing where's "WALD"-O.
 
One drawback to my new build mascot is that he uses his Illudium PU-36 Explosive Space Modulator and ACME Disintegration Pistol to hunt bunnies
