It Only Took $7,000 To Build This LEGO Halo Spaceship

The iconic "Pillar of Autumn" from Halo, now in LEGO form. And it's damn huge—not exactly minifigure-scale, needing more than one person to move it.

Always amazed by what some people can do with Legos.

scark923409d ago

That is alot of money invested to create such an amazing piece!

Some people will never.. 'LEGO' of their hobbies! *smirk*

sungam3d3409d ago

Yeah I remember as a kid I got my dads old Meccano set from when he was a kid.

Legit metal parts, nuts n bolts, cogs and rubber band pulley belts.

That was the best stuff I ever played with.

Made a fully functional digger with my dad.
Good times.

But it sucked because the nuts and bolts kept falling through the spaces in our floor boards.

There would be a treasure trove of Meccano under the floor boards of my old house.

And it only cost LEGO $7 in plastic.

SilentNegotiator3409d ago

So true. Luckily, there's a decent knockoff brand or two when buying for the nieces and nephews :)

creeping judas3409d ago

Yeah, but do you want to be that uncle?

SilentNegotiator3409d ago

Megabloks and Legos are fairly compatible, so what's the big deal?

creeping judas3409d ago (Edited 3409d ago )

@silent, you had it at fairly compatible, Lego is king with kids, Megablocks is the inferior product. Just saying to give you the Uncle + bonus points!! My kid got Megablocks from his uncle last Xmas and he wasnt impressed!

I'm doing a lot of Star Wars Lego with my boy which is pretty immense fun. But this is sooooooooooooooooooo A W E S O M E.
But $7000 seems a itsy bitsy bit steep.

creeping judas3409d ago

My son is into to Lego also, I told him this took three and a half years to make. He felt he could do it in half of that time!!
But sadly Daddy ain't going to be spending $7k on Lego for Christmas!!

Section8uk3409d ago (Edited 3409d ago )

I like his enthusiasm though :)
And he would probably be right if put in a room with all the pieces he needed.
Ah, what parent wouldn't give their right arm for an endless supply of Lego?

BABY-JEDI3409d ago

I'm just curious what the rest of the guys house is like? Maybe it is the Lego movie set LoL

SP4CE_C4PT4IN3409d ago

The instruction booklet would probably be as thick as a Haynes automotive reference/tech manual haha.

Well, 4-Infinite dropped the ball massively so don't worry.

Sgt_Slaughter63d ago (Edited 63d ago )

Not really. 4, 5, MCC, and Infinite are only remembered for their shortcomings and failures when the franchise was purely known for being a system seller and an all-time great. There's a reason 1, 2, 3, and Reach are looked back on fondly, and it's not because of nostalgia.

FinalFantasyFanatic63d ago

I don't know of anyone that speaks fondly of the later Halo games, I would like to play 5, but I know it's not good, and I'm just waiting on Infinite to hit my strike price. I played MCC a lot later after it came out, so must of those bugs/issues were gone by the time I played it.

PhillyDonJawn62d ago (Edited 62d ago )

To say it dropped the massively is just not true. Many in the community hold H5 as the best mp mechanics in the entire series and say its what 4 should've been. Its campaign was trash but the MP is Fantastic and many faces of the community still play today and it only made 500mill in the matter of months but sure it dropped the ball massively. 4 was hated due to all the changes at once. And CoD like feature and rightful get hate but it's campaign story was liked by a majority of ppl. 343 hasn't nailed ot 100% but they get 1 thing perfect but F up in other places. Infinite had a good campaign and design but the story was a mess. The MP improves upon what Halo 3 was and is what many ppl wanted to go back to but it lacked content severely. So massively aint the word. Dropping the ball massively is when it's pure trash and unplay/unenjoyable. Most ppl blind by nostalgia so soon as 1 thing aint the same its hated cause Halo set the bar so high
FYI reach was not that good.

Dead IP, time to invent something new.

kaos8963d ago

Maybe they can have ID or one of the COD studios help 343 with this series.

jznrpg63d ago

Halo-Pop like Gears Pop. Halo bowling. Halo Cooking Mama. There’s a reason why you won’t hear about them
