i don't think lego will endorse a tank. 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.
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

No thank you, making a model of an unit that everyone laughs at (with a legitimate reason ) is pretty much what people would call as "BM".
So, NO, thank you.

Maybe, if it was Brood War siege tank, well ... that's a complete opposite story.

Yeah. Deathstar - fine.
Tank - bad.

The main problem would be licensing from ActiBlizzard.

Lol bringing the balance/design discussion on every subject. I respect your devotion ! Never stop the fight !



as long it is sci-fi I think there is no problem of having it as a lego product I think, they have stormtroopers, they had english soldiers of 18th century and warship also, no I think lego has a clear politic against "actual" military vehicule/people. When it is fantasy it is fine.

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.

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

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".

what i said is that there is actual tanks, that model is not that fair away from real life to be understodd as fantasy by the average non-gamer person
