LEGOs!

Does anyone not like LEGOs?

Here are some proposed kits that relate to astronomy:

Hubble

New Horizons

Space Launch System

Space Shuttle Launch Complex (wow... this is really impressive!)

Hehe, I used to have this one:

These fan designed sets are a lot larger and more accurate. I'm not even sure the figurines fit into the shuttle cockpit. Maybe just their heads.
Just call me "geck" because "zilla" is like a last name.

Lego Ohio, New Mexico and Kansas all made me chuckle, but the Lego spuds in Idaho are the best.

And people say Australia's car industry isn't competitive.

(I wonder if I can make myself an equatorial wedge out of lego? I've seen a few lego GEMs and alt-az forks, but no wedges.)
