Judging by the soundtrack/musical score, I think it'll open just like the
other three: rolling letters, then panning across stars to a ship or ships
above a planet, the -boom!- lotsa action. :)

Hey, that's a good one! But people usually mean "Adult Fan/Fanatic of LEGO"
when they write it. It's too bad that it looks so much like "AOL" (not that
there's anything wrong with AOL) and that the person who coined it also
noted that it looked like "A FOOL". An alternative to AFOL is ALF (Adult
LEGO Fan/Fanatic) but that reminds people of a certain sit-com that didn't
sit well with many folks.
