LegoPops Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) Hi Sci-fi friends, Wanted to share my creation of a 'Classic UFO', depicting a 1950's Flying Saucer from the golden age of Sci-Fi. It took some time to develop this project and I'm happy with how it turned out. A mysterious spacecraft with 3 alien visitors has just touched down on a very strange planet called earth. The saucer has 4 landing struts, an exit ramp/ladder underneath, 3 separate control panels and other colorful features. All three Extraterrestrials fit easily inside, and each has a Ray Gun and a Prod. My 'Classic UFO' has just arrived on LEGO IDEAS, and is currently featured in the 'Popular This Week' section, under my name LegoPops10. If you like it, please go to LEGO IDEAS to see all the pictures Your support greatly appreciated. Thanks much! Ray https://ideas.lego.com/projects/128600 Edited January 28, 2016 by LegoPops Quote

PaddyBricksplitter Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Hey, nice design. I tried one of these once too. Looks just right. Quote
TheLazyChicken Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Wow nice job! I would really love to see this become an official set, keep up the great work! Quote
SpacerSteve Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Very cool idea! I'd support this. I want to get some grey aliens for AG now! Quote
LegoPops Posted January 27, 2016 Author Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) Hi Guys, Wanted to share the update on my Lego Ideas project under the heading "Classic UFO", featuring a 1950's inspired Flying Saucer. The project has evolved a bit and hopefully improved as a set. It's also taken a humorous twist with The Visitors from the moon. There's a brief story line and 4 new pictures in the update. Worth a look and maybe a chuckle or two. Many thanks to all who have supported this project so far! There's 700+ supporters as of today. Much appreciated!

Bob De Quatre Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Hi LegoPops, Being new on Eurobricks, I'm sure you still remember the Site Guidelines that you read carefully before signing up, especially the paragraph about Lego Ideas promoting. LEGO Ideas: If you have a great MOC, that is also a LEGO Ideas project, you may present it on EB as you would any MOC, with a single link to the Ideas entry. Make the title about the MOC, not the Ideas business; don't be too shouty, and it is likely to be tolerated. You need to be thinking: 'I want people on EB to see my MOC and comment on it. If they like it, perhaps they'll support it on LEGO Ideas', rather than: 'I want Ideas support! If I post it on EB, perhaps more people will vote!. Quote
LegoPops Posted January 28, 2016 Author Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) Thanks for adjusting. Will try to keep it focused I appreciate the Sci-Fi forum. Edited January 28, 2016 by LegoPops Quote
Zerobricks Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 The cow and the classic UFO make this a really funny set idea. You got my support! Quote
Only Sinner Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 This is a great MOC, and sure looks the part. Quote
L E G O Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 Already liked! It would have been cool if Alien Conquest had been a little more 'classic' in its approach, but hopefully that leaves room for a great idea like yours. Quote
Forresto Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) I love it! I grew up on things like the Earth Vs the Flying Saucers and the Day the Earth Stood Still (The original classic not the tepid new one). I am 100% full on board behind you all the way on this. you've got my vote for ideas that's for sure. I could see this being a nice $40 set with a bunch of classic looking aliens piloting it. Best of luck and I look forward to the possibility of buying this bad boy if it is selected The cow addition is really funny Edited February 21, 2016 by Forresto Quote
