Custom Legos You Wish You Always Had
Tired of waiting for Lego to officially license your favorite films like Star Trek or Back to the Future? Me too. I had my hopes up when Lego started releasing those awesome Star Wars kits a few years back, but nothing ever came of it. Fortunately for us, the guys at Ichiban Toys have decided to release few custom kits to fill the void. There’s just a catch or two — the sets are incredibly small and extremely expensive for what you get. Don’t get me wrong, they look awesome, but judging by the size of some of these kits, $15 for a Klingon Bird of Prey that only uses around fifty small pieces can seem a bit steep. That said, they’re all official Lego pieces, so anyone with access to the right ones could probably build it themselves after giving it a close enough look.
If you’d rather go the cheap route, you can see all their models up close by checking out their Flickr stream. If, on the other hand, you’re just a fan or a collector, head on over to their official site and order yourself a kit. If Sci-Fi’s not your thing, they also have model sports cars and even a plane or two. Each set comes with everything you need to piece it together. Given what Lego usually charges for their sets, you probably wouldn’t be paying that much more.
