My awesome Lego model of Jaws eating the back of the Orca, the ship from the movie/book, not the whale Orca, in which case this model would be the other way around, though I guess it was by the end of the movie/book, which is why the boat is called the Orca, and I’m guessing you all already know that. Anyway, I love this Lego set.
Awesome Christmas present - the Jaws Lego set!
