No, Shortsword is correct. Halo Wars created a bunch of new vehicles, one of them being the Shortsword, which is an atmospheric bomber. Longswords are space fighters (capable of atmospheric too, though) and don't appear in Halo Wars.
Not sure if that's sarcastic or not, but yes, I love Legos. It's been a few years since I bought a set, but I do keep up with the major Lego news and check what the stores get in. I have a heavily modified Millenium Falcon sitting on my night stand.
Unlike most of the highly focused cheap junk kids get these days, Legos are actually durable, quality toys that inspire creativity and imagination. Bricks can be used and re-used over and over again, and in some surprising configurations. Some of the veteran builders of the AFOL community will blow your mind with some of the things they can do with those bricks, from innovative building techniques, to massive projects (
