I'm going to be building a fairly large scale replica of the Bullseye set...

Yes... why?

I ask - why not? If he enjoys building replica game show sets, isn't that reason enough?

What's the purpose of building this?

It's the Invision equivalent of the bridge to nowhere.

Springfield would like a word with you.

Hey, I'm one of the guys who thinks that if he wants to build a replica of the set, then let him.

I'm a little more confused about his other hobby.

If it's scale model, then that's cool.

Otherwise if you were to replicate this life-size for other purposes, it's a waste of money and time really. Some people managed to get work off of that by doing so...like the guy who did the wheel of fortune.

If you want another fun project down the road, the Henry Lickel set from Family Feud would be a treat to pursue.

Now THAT I've heard of.

I always get a kick out of seeing footage of those things.

I give him credit---I used to do Hollywood Squares using just two fold-out presentation boards, and I once did an entire game of Let's Make A Deal with nothing more than three large cardboard boxes.

The one I rigged with puppet arms and an ugly 70's dress.

Who are you to down a man for doing something he enjoys?

I wish I had've photographed the replica I did ten years ago of the original TPIR set before CBS started the "glitziness" of it. Had fully functional doors, a fully functional turntable (the doors and turntable didn't light up, though), and on top of that I built scale replicas of five TPIR pricing games, replicas of the Showcase podia, and a fully functional (yes, it spun and was correctly proportional) replica of the Big Wheel.

Built it at 1:25 scale, essentially large enough to play Lucky $even with a completed scale model kit car.
