There's a part of me who thinks... "oh for crying out loud, another thing created in the medium of Lego... what's bloody next? Lego Halo? Lego GTA?.. is there any pop culture icon that Lego wont immediately attach itself to like a lamprey and suck all its worth from?"

Then I immediately snap out of my cynical mode, and jump into my childlike geek mode and think.... Wow, I have to get one, I wonder how many legos it took, and how awesomely cool is that?

This was one of those cases, after being cynical for half a second, I sat there and absorbed all the cool things about this. The death laser, the little ship on the side, the death star in all its uncompleted glory.

My geek side wins again. (via FAO)
