It's an offshoot of the Galaxy class (Enterprise D) and shares the same saucer section and engineering section, but without the standard neck between the two.<BR/> As for BRIK sets, I have my own story about those. I was in my local dollar store when I spied a very familiar set, the #4 Octan race car. The box even had the original LEGO artwork for that set. As I had always been a collector of the race sets I bought it without hesitation only to discover the sad truth. It was cheap plastic, and looked nothing like the box art. I was quite upset, but knew there was nothing I could do. There were other similar sets there too I believe they had the shuttle firetruck, and maybe an ambulance or something like that. I'm just glad I only bought the one. I wish I could have stopped other people from wasting their money on it too but when I went back the next week all the sets had sold.

I was on holiday in wales(as usual), when i came across a shop that seemed to scream "I am a local shop for local people!". I walked in and saw a bootleg of lego. It was a policeman/SWAT/CSI. I got back to the cottage and opened the contents. It was as bad as BRICK.<BR/>The van he came with didn't have the capacity to hold the minifig. The minifig had guns that seemed to have sticky out bits when it didn't even come with an assembly net. It was then i realised that this was not a bootleg of lego. It was a bootleg of mega bloks. Oh dear. To whoever made that bootleg i sympathise and feel disgusted at the same time. I hope you get a job and girlfriend soon.<BR/> m@Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7206822521634024543.post-41525967233301637632009-01-30T15:33:00.000-05:002009-01-30T15:33:00.000-05:00That looks...

(and <I>Eon</I> is probably the top of the heap.) Last time I read <I>Forge/Anvil</I> was right after I read the collection <I>Wind from a Burning Woman</I>, and one of the stories ("Hardfought" I think it was called) was clearly the origin for the <I>Anvil</I> story, and at the time I preferred the short story to the long form. (Although the <I>Anvil</I> story / ethical dilemma, has definitely stuck with me ever since, so maybe it is one of my favorites after all.)Tometheushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02487857485627808037noreply@blogger.com
