shmails Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 THIS is a wand!!! I never understood why LEGO never took the time to make a proper wand for a theme they have done so many sets for, so I took it upon myself to remedy the situation. This is the Harry Potter and Elder wands from the movie series. Enjoy! Quote
Vindicare Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Not bad. Better than TLGs oversized attempt at wands. Quote
1980-Something-Space-Guy Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Kudos! It does make you wonder. After so many years and a color change. you'd think TLG would have tried to make at least a standard wand mold. Quote

After so many years and a color change. you'd think TLG would have tried to make at least a standard wand mold. Thanks guys, I do not understand it either. They will fall over backwards to make a new LEGO Star Wars element but do not have the time for a simple wand? Sad really. Quote
AnthonyFallen Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 You guys are totally right... But at least now we have yours to rely on :P Very nice work shmails! :D Quote
fred67 Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Those are great! Much better than mine... I just whittled mine. (although I've since trimmed them to make them a bit shorter, as well). What did you use to construct these? Looks like the could be wood or plastic carving... Quote
1980-Something-Space-Guy Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 And if you think that the Lego Harry Potter game doesn't use the 4L bars for wands, but makes them thinner, it does make you wonder! Quote
shmails Posted August 19, 2011 Author Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) Thanks guys, maybe someday we will find out LEGO's thinking on this one! Fred - I design the items on the computer and they are 3D printed for me by Shapeway.com. The material is a plastic resin dust that is built up istead of carved away.

LuxorV Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Nice custom piece, shmails. I removed the link in the above post. We ask people to not post links to their stores, please. Feel free to add it to your signature, though. Quote
TheLegoDr Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Very neat concept! I doubt I would switch over from the large bars secondary to price, but I like how they look! Quote
Masked Builder Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Very cool! I was thinking of doing this myself! Now the way you've done it isn't bad but, I'd like the wand to taper down to the point instead of that odd handle. But that's me. Quote
