Really old tank >.> I mean, I recall this was posted ages back on here so I'm surprised that the guy is looking for supporters now and not back when the SCII community was bigger meaning better chance of success. Still, it's pretty neat imo

lol the official Lego comment.

"With this project, all LEGO builders can know what it's like to drop the hammer and dispense some indiscriminate justice! Seeing this beauty in action is really amazing, it moves so smoothly. Great work!"

Looks like they totally get the idea of friendly fire! Love it.

That was the greatest youtube video I have ever seen! And it was only 30 seconds long.

What the hell is Megablocks? They look identical to Lego, surely something like that cannot be legal, can it? :o

It is.

The LEGO Group has filed lawsuits against Mega Bloks, Inc. in courts around the world on the grounds that Mega Bloks' use of the "studs and tubes" interlocking brick system is a violation of trademarks held by LEGO. Generally such lawsuits have been unsuccessful, chiefly because the functional design of the basic brick is considered a matter of patent rather than trademark law, and all relevant LEGO patents have expired. In one of the most recent decisions, on November 17, 2005, the Supreme Court of Canada upheld Mega Bloks' right to continue selling the product in Canada.[5] A similar decision was reached by the European Union's Court of First Instance on November 12, 2008 when it upheld an EU trademark agency decision following an objection by Mega Bloks against a trademark awarded to LEGO in 1999.[6]

On September 14, 2010, the European Court of Justice ruled that the 8-peg design of the original LEGO brick "merely performs a technical function [and] cannot be registered as a trademark".

Hey guys,

Thanks for supporting my tank! It's been on the home page of the ideas.lego.com page for a couple of weeks now and it's almost 30% of the way to 10,000 votes. I think it dropped to the second page of the slider today.

I appreciate the effort you're all making in signing up on the ideas site. I know Lego doesn't have the licencing for Starcraft but you never know what might happen if they see a lot of support.

Thanks again. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/14574

PS: We're working on plans to use the Lego Mindstorms EV3 robotics to make a new siege tank. It will actively rotate, track, and fire on a target. It's pretty complicated but will be really cool when it's done.

Im sorry to tell but Activision Blizzard gave all merch. rights to legos nr1 enemy Mega Brands ( Mega Bloks ). Even if we hit 10k, lego couldnt build it because of the copyright problems.
Better ask Mega Bloks for doing a Starcraft Series as they have allready CoD, Halo and Warcraft series.
