LEGO Ideas Saturn V

We're over 7200 supporters now and well on the way to 10000 :-) A few more big pushes and we'll make it!

I can't register. Well, I can, but then I have to enter a (valid) email address to activate my account, and Lego doesn't send the activation email (tried two different email accounts now).

That's a shame :-( We'll count it for moral support anyway :-)

I'll try again tomorrow. I assume it's a server glitch. The model looks absolutely awesome, by the way.

You are correct. This banner just appeared on the site.

Yes, I just completed registration (three emails, no less!) and supported the project!

EDIT: I also asked my coworker to support it!

Nice! I've been tracking the supports since the first part of October. This thing is REALLY gaining steam! It's growing much much faster than all of the other models I've seen! This is a screenshot of the Excel file I threw together.

Got a retweet from @KerbalSpaceP so here's to hoping that we get another big jump in supporters!!

[Tex Mechs Robot]

8000!!!!! This thing is getting so close!!

[Tex Mechs Robot]

we're only about 1400 supports away :-) tell everyone you know and even those you don't!

You got my rep. I never get to buy lego, but that is a rather nice design. The internal parts matching real life, and it not just being "hollow" reminds me more of the lego builds of the past.

[Tex Mechs Robot]

For those keeping track, we have just reached the 9000 mark! Most projects don't move this fast so it is a testament to how badly this model is wanted! It seems VERY unlikely that this model won't make it to 10,000. We'll have to wait and see how LEGO feels about it.

This is a video of an early prototype of the CSM and LM with detachable eagle. I made this one at home by reverse engineering the pictures from the Ideas site! I have since shown it to the designers and they say that it is very accurate (with only a few mistakes).

Wait, there will also be the mobile launch plattform and the crawler?

probably not. only because the part count got ridiculous from what i hear.

[Tex Mechs Robot]

only 600 or so votes left :-) almost there!

[pTrevTrevs]

Only 300 more to go and we'll be one step closer to a Lego Saturn V!

Woo! Best of luck on getting approved and making it into stores (where I'll surely hope to buy one). Edited November 21, 2015 by mythbusters844

So am I !!

In the process of designing this with the two original creators, I wound up building one in order to test the fit and stability of the parts.
