'Twas nineteen-hundred and ninety-three

When LEGO made Ice Station Odyssey

I had grand plans to play

Space Police would save the day!

But alas, it was not to be

How I dreamed of saving Planet Krysto

With our team led by Commander Cold

343 pieces of fun

I'd play till the day was done

On a raised baseplate covered in snow

Though as a child, my parents said "no"

I hope that my bank account will grow

So that as a grown-up

My savings will blow up

And the coolest set I will then own!

I built the micro version of Ice Station Odyssey as a gift to my husband, and wrote the silly poem above from his 10-year-old perspective. I personally did not grow up with any LEGO (Dad stepped on one too many tiny doll shoes.) But my husband grew up with several small sets. His parents would buy him the little ones, he'd follow the instructions, then pour all the pieces into a big bucket that eventually became multicolored castles and spaceships. The big orange elements were his favorite part of this set.
