I'm so looking forward to this. I love this series almost as much as I love Freaks and Geeks (and, if you know me, that's saying something). It's the combination of nostalgia, coming of age, group of awkward friends, and science fiction that just hits all of the right notes for me. It also doesn't hurt that the characters are not only well-written but perfectly (in my opinion) cast.
Also, I need to get crackin' on that Lego set...
