https://ideas.lego.com/projects/14574 this is a motorize siege tank that can siege unsiege with a simple button command (look at the vid) Go support the idea and make it go to the 10k supporter needed! Unleash the power of sc2 community! (if such power exists!) Realistically this thing would cost around 200bucks but it is an awesome desktop terran/starcraft fanboy trophy. PS : don't know how to properly link a youtube video  | ||

I don't think the tank has the same fantasy/space stuff disconection from reality that a battlecruiser has, for example. So even though i'm terran, i'll be more confortable with lego doing protoss stuff, that are further away from actual weaponery | ||

It may be awesome for us starcraft fan, but it's still selling a model tank, from a company that refused for many years to sell green blocks for fear that people would make military stuff with it.

The main problem would be licensing from ActiBlizzard. | ||

So, NO, thank you. Maybe, if it was Brood War siege tank, well ... that's a complete opposite story. | ||

When it is fantasy it is fine. | ||

"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. | ||

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". | ||

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. | ||
