Hi everyone,
I am not a professional builder and would like some advice from someone experienced in the field of construction.

I want to design a construction system (at least a basic model that could be modified as needed) for a very specific toy built entirely from LEGO.

I would appreciate any tips, advice and criticism.

(My design and visualization are only for presenting the basic idea, I did not address the stability of the model too much.)

Design here ("I do not have the special printed plastic foils yet and they are only indicated here):

The player gets a box in which "LEGO miniboxes" containing individual game scenes and locations are stacked.

See the visual here:

The player gets a video instruction (The foolproof video tutorial walks you through every step).

The player takes out all the miniboxes on the table and does not know what awaits him, because the minibox is closed on all sides by one or more walls made of cubes and attached with "special printed plastic foils".

The player unfastens the foils, lays out the individual elements, or attaches the foils back, thereby creating a game scene or location with a background.

I tried to exploit this concept to its maximum capacity in terms of the size of the scene that can be created (I used the "roof" as a play area and the interior space was used as a storage space for additional columns and play areas). This is extreme. I don't think scenes are normally this busy in terms of the concentration of baseplates and columns.

This concept should be designed to be suitable not only for creating a building or interior scene (e.g. LEGO Star Wars imperial base), but also for example a forest exterior (in this case the walls would be replaced with e.g. rocks/mountains and the building columns would be replaced with e.g. tall trees.)

---------

BTW my goal is to create these locations for starters: Star Wars imperial base on Steergard (large location with 3 floors), Imperial naval yard on Steergard (medium location with 3 floors) and city on Ferrix (small-medium location with 1.5-2 floors).

--------

 

Did I design my concept correctly or is there a better solution using other pieces that I don't see?

 

Do you have any tips for improvement?

I would be grateful for any opinion or comment.... :)

Cheers Peter

Do you have permission to sell these from both LEGO and Lucasfilm? That is going to be your biggest problem.
