it does ask how much you are willing to spend on it and how many you want, now we need 6,148 to hit the 10,000 supporter mark.

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. |

We judge LEGO on a price per piece ration. It usually averages out to about 10 cents per piece. The smaller sets are usually more then ten cents per piece and the larger sets are usually less. This means that a small set may have around 70 pieces and cost $10 whereas a giant set may have 1200 pieces and cost $100. Amazingly enough, if you look at LEGO sets from 20 years ago, the price to piece ration is about the same. The difference is that the overall piece count was usually MUCH less. A giant set from 20 years ago could have like 400 pieces and therefore cost around $45. LEGO just adds a lot more detail these days. The minifig has also had some upgrades. Gone are the days of simple smiley faces. Now they have custom heads and specialized unique printing. This adds up.
I'm not sure how much the "how much would you pay for it" question is used for product design. The model I built was probably around 1500-1800 pieces I'm guessing but will most likely be downsized for production. |

6140 more to go to the finish line.
At this rate we're going to pass up the bucket of strom troopers and zelda in a week or so.

Can't believe you haven't hit 10,000 already. Great build, would love to see a collector's line of Eve Lego ships in the vein of the Star Wars collector's models.
+1'd the day I found out about it. |

I approve of this statement. I would like to see a frigate from each faction. I even marked which frigates I would like/enjoy building from each and which I think may not be a good idea (from a LEGO standpoint) .
My favorite builds include: Amarr Executioner Caldari Heron and Merlin Gallente Tristan.
My least favorite or improbable from a LEGO standpoint builds include Amarr Crucifier (twice the size of the Rifter) Amarr Inquisitor and Tormentor - just not fun to build Gallente Imicus and Incursus
I'm most excited about minifig scale ships so I'm also looking at shuttles and starter ships. Of course, I'd also love to see some larger ships as well in a smaller scale. |

It was a great model, seen it when I was at fanfest.
LEGO would be crazy to pass up on doing an entire line of eve ships/stations. |

Supported. like it a lot, would buy 2!
It seems Caldari and Minmi desigs woudl be easiest to make. The Amarr and Galle ships are fans of curves.
Lego Tornado would be epic. |

I don't know if this has already been mentioned, but here it goes. If you want to register for stuff like this but don't want to give out your e-mail and don't already have a "just-for-spam" dedicated address, or don't want to log in there to check for any confirmation links, or whatever, use this:

Pretty much the same thing as a throw-away spam email address anyway.

Absolutely love this! I voted for it last week and I got my girlfriend to do the same.
It'd be nice if the CMS could use their influence with the people who voted for them ;) I have a specific comb for my beard. |

This is indeed awesome, and I've cast my official support on the site a while back but I can't stop looking over it and kicking myself for throwing out all my legos all those years ago.
Fantastic work! Definitely buying this if Lego puts out an official one! |

I was pleasantly surprised to see the Shaun of the Dead model gaining such publicity. Simon Pegg sponsored it on Conan last night so its shot up like 3000 today and yes, just passed the Rifter. But, it thankfully didn't push the Rifter off the front page and it is bringing new attention to the cuusoo site. |
