Brick_Sash Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 (edited) Hi guys. One of my creations was accepted into Lego Ideas. It's the VF-1A in fighter mode, 64cm in length, no transformation. It features multiple features like sweepable wings, functional landing gear and wing flaps. In order for it to make it into the review phase I have to reach 10000 votes. If you like it and think it's something that would interest you, I hope you could support it on the Lego Ideas site. You can find my project here: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/abb7ff10-7691-4461-8f95-3040a169ae48 Thank you! Edited September 7, 2020 by Brick_Sash Quote
Convectuoso Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 Hi Nice build. I really like it, and I've already voted for it, but, realistically and because of HG and copyright issues, Lego would never be able to release this set in the US, so even if you get 100.000 votes, it may never get greenlighted.

kkx Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 Make it transformable and you get my vote and PO. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 Looks pretty darn good, good luck! -b. Quote

Spiff Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 Very AWESOME! I always loved Lego's as a kid. I would build Lego versions of ships I saw in movies from memory. No internet to look up pics. I especially remember after seeing Aliens, building a drop ship and the APC. I even had the turret on the APC able to move from the rear to the top! Ah those were the days, playing and building with Legos for hours on the floor. Now I can barely get out of a chair.... Quote
jvmacross Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 (edited) A "LEGO" version?....only if HG had no say..... I'd even buy a non-Lego version of any "Macross" lego-like construction set as long as it was of decent quality....surprised no Chinese toy company has thought of releasing one through a HG "Macross/Robotech" license Edited November 16, 2020 by jvmacross Quote

I'm seriously considering getting this one: https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1005001499184185.html?spm=a2g0s.8937460.0.0.748e2e0euyOLLY Quote
jvmacross Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 Nice...looks like they based it off of the Makuros They also have a TV SDF-1....but the price is crazy especially if it does not transform Quote

At 129USD, you'd probably be able to build this set using real Lego's for the same amount of money. Download yourself LDD or Stud.io and you can rebuild the set based on the pictures. That's what those Chinese knock off companies do anyway with all the HOT sets on LEGO Ideas. That's why I'll never buy a product from them. They rebuild sets based on pictures the original creator posted, and the result is just garbage. Since most designers don't post pictures of the internal structures, the copy cats have to improvise. What you get are disasters like the Lepin Gundam. Edited November 20, 2020 by Brick_Sash Quote

Lol that made me laugh. You can still have a good time with LEGO, according to them up to the age of 99 Quote

The SDF-1 looks perfect even though it’s not the actual color. Love it. Quote
seti88 Posted November 20, 2020 Posted November 20, 2020 (edited) Also this SDF blew my mind (and talk abt wallet killer)...but seeing at some of the comments above do wonder how the final result is in actuality vs promo pics.. https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1005001506310114.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.1000060.2.4db9380bn11LxH&gps-id=pcDetailBottomMoreThisSeller&scm=1007.13339.169870.0&scm_id=1007.13339.169870.0&scm-url=1007.13339.169870.0&pvid=8f48a47d-1e00-449f-8b7e-8101161d7270&_t=gps-id:pcDetailBottomMoreThisSeller,scm-url:1007.13339.169870.0,pvid:8f48a47d-1e00-449f-8b7e-8101161d7270,tpp_buckets:668%230%23131923%230_668%23808%234094%23470_668%23888%233325%239_668%232846%238112%23589_668%232717%237559%2391_668%231000022185%231000066059%230_668%233468%2315608%23182 Back to supporting a valk in lego tho, i support the endeavor, tho copyright wise thats gonna be an iffy area... unless of course it goes the garage kit route or something....which technically doesn't need lego approval right....
