Especially considering it's a Shock attack with limited AV.

If that Lego Intrepid is the one on the Intrepid, I've actually seen it in person. It's pretty neat.

Man, lego has come alonq way since the 70-80's when I had it. I do remember building a pretty decent aircraft carrier considering the pieces at my disposal. I think their space stuff was just coming out when I was winding down my lego career. Look at it now.

Awesome!

My brother virtually built a scale model of the Battlestar Galactica using Lego's online building tool. He wanted it to be able to launch the Viper models Lego produced. IIRC, his model was so big they estimated total cost of a custom set at well over $20,000. He abandoned the project.

Seeing this actually created makes me wonder what it cost!

You probably don't know that Lego is the inspiration for Cyberdyne Systems in the Terminator series. Do not underestimate them. If you do know that Lego is the inspiration for Cyberdyne, you've got a screw loose.
