Oooo. Really keen use of the old classic space logo, tho.

I'm working on the tank, right?

And I'm noting there's an "Alien containment chamber", which is cool - space prisons are, oddly enough, kind of a lego tradition going all the way back to the first Space Patrol sets. You lock the bad guys up, and you can have battles about trying to get them out or keep them in!

But I'm also noticing that the "containment chamber" almost looks like it's attached to the -engine-? I mean, it's cool if you're fighting a war in space because the bad guys attacked first.

It is -not- cool if they only started shooting us because we decided they're the planetary equivalent of 98 Octane.

LEGOS AREN'T SUPPOSED TO COME WITH AN ETHICAL CRISIS, DAMMIT!

Actually, that thought really entertains me. You can have a whole series of them.

Lego Gas Chamber

Lego Terrorist Interrogation set

Lego Strip Mine complete with displaced inhabitants

Lego Industrial Park built atop a lego cemetary

The possibilities are endless.

The toy store on our street has Lego construction contests once or twice a year. For some reason, lyev and I were imagining historical tableaux that you could construct using Legos. My favorite: the head of John the Baptist being presented to Salome.

It's not unheard of...

And it still wasn't good then! (Well, it was a great story hook/twist, but not good action! Stay good, Dave! Stay good!)

Also bad! Funny, but also bad!

Stay good!
