100 Supporters - Major Changes

I just wanted to start off by apologizing for this being somewhat late. I have been quite busy, (as I'm sure we all have been during these odd times) but I finally had the time to put some real effort and love into this project. I have almost completely redone and improved it. As you may already know, the original project was just that single room as a display piece. While this was nice, it seemed as if something was missing. I fixed this by adding two new scenes from the music video and made the whole set a moveable, posable display piece. I also updated the colors (for example, I changed some regular brown parts to reddish-brown, like the newer sets have today), and changed a few others to better match the video. A change you may not have even noticed if you hadn't read this is the walls of the center area. I changed it from ugly panel pieces to nicer brick pieces. This just keeps it nice and professional-looking, as well as making it more stable. I have also updated the description to describe and incorporate these new changes.

I have changed a minor error in the description. I had originally (and incorrectly) stated that there were over 7 million views on the music video. In fact, there were over 750 million views at the time I wrote that. Now, there's over 800 million, so I thought it'd be appropriate to redo the math on that and replace it. I'll try to update that part as we go, even though it is completely trivial.

Now, for the one part you really came here for. I updated the plant. As soon as I created it I knew that the plant would be the focus of this entire project. It is simply too powerful and majestic to be ignored. I was frustrated with my past self, who did not heed the warnings or try to correctly recreate the plant. So now, the majestic and wonderful plant has been recreated and is now accurate to the video.

Jokes aside, I wanted to thank each and every one of you that supported this project. It brings me much joy that 100+ other people enjoy and want a Rickroll Lego set just as much as I do. As I am writing this, we are well on our way to 200 supporters, and hopefully many more beyond that. I don't know when the next update will be; all I know is that there will definitely be one at 1000 supporters. If I have an idea or a change/fix I'd like to add, I'll definitely add it here. So keep an eye out! 

(This part only will apply for a short while, but I have submitted the changes to the main Idea, and am waiting for it to be approved. It seems this can take up to two weeks, so we have to be patient. The updated project will show and explain everything you need to know, so watch for its appearance.)

As always, if you have something you think could be optimized or changed, I am always open to suggestions or constructive criticism.
