Go dig in the forum archives. There have been at least two threadnoughts about Lego ships that I know of.

One thing about that "how much would you pay for it" question... I don't know what the going rate on LEGO is these days (other than "yup, still expensive") but also even with the measurements I wasn't able to get a good sense of the scale of the thing... I'm assuming part of their "will we make it" review is to take the possibly-serious answers against what they'd sell that much plastic for... is there any way you can get Hilmar's permission to put that photo on the cuusoo site? It'd at least let those of us who'd like to give a proper answer (rather than just one meeeeeelion dollars! or some other nonsense) a better judge of what we're saying we might buy. Looking at the site and the dimensions, I know personally I underestimated both what it was and what I'd probably *have* to pay for it, and even though I'd rather it were a nice sensible Caldari ship I would find any ship really nifty.

love it

though what ships to build first , i would suggest all the races most represetative frigates :

i.e -amarr : punisher
-cal : merlin
-gal : incursus / tristan

I want to buy this make it.

Anyone that does not like this:

1.) Hates themselves.
2.) Has no imagination.
3.) Is terrible.
4.) See 1-3.

As I wrote in my blog, take the couple mins to do the registration so you can properly 'support' this. If it gets a lot more than 10k support, who knows what else might come of this?

This guy builds with LEGO like a noob giving goons 500m to be recruited by them.
You better put those bricks away and play EVE as you suck at LEGO


You want to see real LEGO space ships
Then look at these because this is what AFOL (Adult Fans Of LEGO) really Build
Not something a 2 year old built

Now these are space ships.

Op should update topic to half way there mentioning.

A: This thread needs to be on the front page again. And stickied. And set in flashing 72-point type.

B: I have a top sail of a Tornado! Only the rest to go :ohgodwhyamidoingthis:

shame on you fans O.O

CCP still has some surprises tho.

Supported! :D

Once I finish with it, you may be seeing a UCS size of the older style Reaper on there. I had posted a thread of it some time ago but the forums ate it lol. While your focusing on the bigger frigates, I think I may be going with the rookie ships. We'll see how that goes.

Thank you! Yep I plan to... and to also include the pod I built that can fit a guy. .The pod is actually small enough that it might have a chance of fitting in your Merlin now I think about it. It's roughly 7 studs wide and 10 studs long. Might be too small for Lego figs... but it can still fit one in there.

Even if Cuusoo turns it down, I have far plans to build the ship in reality. If you need more pieces, you could always try looking into Bricklink if you haven't already. I plan to start buying like it's the end of the world when the times comes for me to buy parts for my noob ship.
