This educational model has been designed by a PhD student at the University of Liverpool, who is currently based at CERN - so he clearly knows his stuff. In other words, it needs you, you, and you. And it only needs just over 2,000 votes to be put under review. Not just a very tasty model of 1974 Dodge Monaco, it also comes with a giant speaker strapped to the roof, Jake and Elwood themselves, and a replica poster from the movie. The finished product would rotate with plenty of features inside, such as computers, a coffee machine (because who can do proper science without a cup of joe?), and a big telescope, naturally.Īfter the success of the Ghostbusters ECTO-1 and Back to the Future DeLorean – both which started as fan designs on LEGO Ideas – this is one we could definitely see happening.
This one takes a break from the usual LEGO science fiction geekiness with a bit of proper science fact. Could become the “King of Brick ‘N’ Roll”. Based on Elvis’ Vegas comeback years, he’s noticeably trimmer round the gut than the real Elvis (c’mon, LEGO – where are your portly mini figures?!) but the pink Cadillac with opening bonnet is a nice touch. It’s a good 9,000 votes short of its target, but this set has got us all shook up. As with official Star Wars LEGO sets, it’s highly detailed – we can only imagine the painstaking effort that designer went through to piece together this 30-inch, 3,900-inch monster. Smegging good stuff.īecause who doesn’t love a giant bit of Star Wars LEGO? The Venator-Class Star Destroyer featured in Revenge of the Sith and The Clone Wars (the rubbish ones, we know) but there’s no denying this is a tasty bit of kit.
Featuring mini figure versions of the four main characters – Lister, Rimmer, Cat, and Kryten – it’s designed to be a mish-mash of the show’s 28-year history, with Blue Midget, a Skutter, and even the Holly Hop Drive accessory (one for the geeks there). The boyz from the Dwarf are back on the box right now, and could soon be made into bricks too. With the Yellow Submarine set to become a reality, we take a look at 10 cool fan-designed sets that could be next. The design came from the Danish toy-makers’ crowdsourcing site, LEGO Ideas, where fans can post their own LEGO model creations and suggestions – and any suggestion that gets over 10,000 votes is put forward to be potentially put into production.
And even more with this fab new Beatles Yellow Submarine set.
