Lego is no stranger to recreating classic pop culture moments, and this new Lego Jaws set has almost immediately become one of my favorites. The 1,497-piece homage captures the showdown between a trio of unlikely heroes and a very angry shark. The set features a full recreation of the Orca boat, including the interior where the crew shares body scar stories; minifigs of Brody, Hooper, and Quint; and of course, “Bruce” the Shark — along with a display stand for its four lead characters. The Lego Jaws set costs $149.99 and will ship Aug. 22.

The “duh-nuh” theme song is now shorthand for “instant anxiety.” If you need a quick refresher on Jaws, Lego has released an adorable “recap,” with some notable variations on the ending:

If nothing else, please just appreciate this amazing Lego-fied recreation of Brody coming face-to-face with his great white shark nemesis. A picture is worth 1,000 words, and in this case, it’s also worth at least a couple hundred bricks.
