    This isn't the first time I've seen such a thing attempted, but maybe he'll be able to actually finish it, which I don't think Jon Palmer did with his SW Alphabet project (he figured that if there were A-, B-, X-, and Y-Wings, there were 22 other letters that obviously needed to have fightercraft named after them as well).

    Love the H wing but the observation deck on the E is the winner for me.

    Arrgghh... I can't take it anymore! Lego is a collective noun, like "wood," it has no plural. I have a jeep made out of Lego. It is not made out of Legos.

    @Anekanta: Actually, if you really want to get picky, the company treats LEGO as an adjective, not a noun, and you should be talking about building with LEGO bricks. And yes, they want you to all-cap that baby.

    @Anekanta: The company wants people to use all sorts of tortured constructions when speaking of their products, but they don't get to make that decision. Correct language usage is popularly based, for better or worse.

    The "G" reminds me of Mr. Garrison's "It". But still awsome.
