Lego shipset

Wombat: I still HAVE that series of space Legos. In fact, I was planning to create an SE4 shipset based on them, but like other people, real life got in the way...

I just posted my Lego shipset. Take a look.

DirectorTsaarx: I still have them as well, but all in a cardboard box in storage.

Great looking shipset wombat! I know you put many hours into this. I look forward to playng against them. I do not look forward to the leggo's I may buy for the kid to do another leggo's race! those damn things are expensive

Nice shipset. I also like the racial description - good explanation of why you need a 10kT bridge and 10kT crew quarters for one pilot...

I notice the dreadnought is from a later Lego series than the other ships... but a nice choice nonetheless.

Too bad Lego's current space stuff is either Star Wars or Mars. I'd like to see them do some more original designs...

I know. The "Galaxy Explorer" used for the battleship was the largest Classic Space lego I could find. As it was I had to make a few of my own for the smaller ships.

I don't like the space stations but I was at the end of my creative rope when I got to that point.

Probally won't be seeing much in the future. I read a business brief/report awhile back. Lego is losing $$$ BIG time. In today's age of computers/wacky toys/and CCG's the old bystands of my childhood (comics and Lego) are generally going down the tubes. Example, a comic like 'Teen Titans' used to sell over 100,000 copies in the 1980's, now the same comic sells about 24,000 copies per issue.

Lego has just aquired the rights to the 'Harry Potter' series, so look for sets from there. Generally anything that is a 'tie-in' to movies etc they will try for as it generates $$ by name recognition.

Too bad though, I used to love the generic blocks and special sets from way back. Used to build all the 'StarBlazers' and 'G-Force' ships in my spare time from odd blocks. (had a 3 foot Argo once! ...)

Wombat: Don't feel bad about the bases - I think the current Versions stay within the theme of "classic Lego space".

Deathstalker: I've seen the first Harry Potter Lego set; it's not bad. I also read a similar article to the one you read. Although I've also read that the Lego Mindstorms stuff has gathered quite a following among engineers for use with prototype building.

Mudshark: Are you still working on YOUR Lego shipset? I think there's room for more than one Lego-based race (imagine an entire game of SE4 based on Lego races...)
