fuzzy_bricks Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 So the train at the end of the third movie got 10,000 votes. I recently picked up the Delorean, but haven't built it yet. I would probably pick this up too, just a cool bit of nostalgia associated with BTTF for me. http://www.thebrickfan.com/lego-cuusoo-bttf-jules-verne-train-achieves-10000-supporters/ 1 Quote
krayzie Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 It would be nice if they made this and the ghostbusters hq. Quote
mudcatsfan Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Truly a work of art, but i can't believe this would be commercially feasible. Just not nearly as iconic as the Ecto nor the Delorean. Quote
Dark Helmet Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 I agree it looks pretty bad but I would still buy it if it wasnt crazy expensive Quote
tonysbricks Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 IMHO that looks hideous That is exactly the word that came to my mind too. Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 They HAVE to turn this down... BECAUSE I WANT A WHOLE FREAKIN THEME!!! I would buy the crap out of that train though. 2 Quote
Huskers1236 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 I like the idea of the train, just not THIS train. If I remember right, this thing will need to be chromed out like crazy, too. As for getting a theme, that won't happen. The movies are decades old with nothing to regain interest, like a new movie. Quote
TheDarkness Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 I don't like it. The DeLorean was a downgrade from the original model but this doesn't look that appealing. Quote
Mos_Eisley Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Maybe they would go the other way with this one - they could make this train look good. Quote
fuzzy_bricks Posted February 27, 2014 Author Posted February 27, 2014 They HAVE to turn this down... BECAUSE I WANT A WHOLE FREAKIN THEME!!! I would buy the crap out of that train though. My heart says this. I like the idea of the train, just not THIS train. If I remember right, this thing will need to be chromed out like crazy, too. As for getting a theme, that won't happen. The movies are decades old with nothing to regain interest, like a new movie. My mind says this. I wonder how well the Delorean has sold? It is kind of ugly, most everyone thinks it is ugly, but I still bought one for the nostalgia factor. I'm not sure how many people would buy the train since it's not the main focus of the movies and doesn't elicit the same memories. Quote
mcortez Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 BECAUSE I WANT A WHOLE FREAKIN THEME!!! A full series with City Future and City Past, along with western and DINO sets (didn't doc say he wanted to go prehistoric at the end of the 3rd movie w/ his train?) would be pretty cool. But I agree that it won't happen, not unless there's a new movie secretly in the works... Quote
iahawks550 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Yep, hideous design, and a terrible movie. How about these ideas 1. Goonies Pirate ship 2. E.T. Spacecraft 3. Blue's Brothers (something) 4. Top gun jet 5. Alien spacecraft 6. Planet of the Apes town Quote
Brickshopper Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Worst Looking Lego Train Ive Seen Minifigures Bleh. Overall it is ugly... This should not have got 10,000 votes and Lego would be silly to make anything like this. Quote
fuzzy_bricks Posted February 27, 2014 Author Posted February 27, 2014 Yep, hideous design, and a terrible movie. How about these ideas 1. Goonies Pirate ship 2. E.T. Spacecraft 3. Blue's Brothers (something) 4. Top gun jet 5. Alien spacecraft 6. Planet of the Apes town Blasphemy! Here are my thoughts on your ideas, but I am fuzzy on most of these movies. 1 - Is this different than a regular pirate ship, just with different minifigs? 2 - I had to look this up, which means it just wasn't that iconic, at least to me. 3 - Your comment of "something" says volumes, what would you make? The car is the only thing I could think of. 4 - Any generic jet would fit here, nothing special about a Top Gun jet, unless you put a topless Tom Cruise in it. 5 - Again I don't remember specifically what this looked like without looking it up. 6 - They have the Ewok village, that should be close. Right? Just my thoughts, but I am probably biased because Alien is the only one of those movies that I like more than BTTF. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 It's a helluva lot better looking than this train. 1 Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 It could be better - but still is a nice set. I think people really underestimate BTTF. Its insane how people forget this movie's insane popularity. I wish we could see the Delorean sales. Guarantee you it will be a winner in retirement. Quote
romulan Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 It's a helluva lot better looking than this train. time twisters is the most utterly ridiculous theme. Quote
fuzzy_bricks Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 It's a helluva lot better looking than this train. I had no idea the Ghost Train was a re-release. Learn something new every day. Quote
legodelorean Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 I would buy the BTTF train in a heartbeat. Then again, the BTTF trilogy is my favorite trilogy of all time. Quote
djim Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 I believe that once a theme has been done, it is no longer eligible for Ideas? If your project is produced, it Quote
