LEGO Ideas Fatboy

[Althis974]

Hello guys!

I create this new topic today to present to you a personnal project that needs support!

Indeed, I’m working on a project for months now and it consist to reproduce a UEF Fatboy in LEGO bricks and then propose it in LEGO Ideas program.

What does it mean?

It means that if my project is supporting by at least 10,000 persons it might have a chance to be released by LEGO. Then anyone could get his own Fatboy in LEGO bricks! Awesome isn’t it?

I’m not fool, I know not everyone will accept to support me, especially when it requires to take few mins to create a LEGO Ideas account… but still! So if you could just talk about my project to your friends, family, SupCom or LEGO fan and people with huge notoriety in SupCom community with sharing this link, maybe enough persons will support and even share this project to make it come true!

You will find the link of my project down below :

Anyway, I really thank you for taking the time to read me and to all FAF community that keep this awesome game alive! Please, keep going and never stop!

Best Regards,

Althis974.

NB: I’m French, so I apologise if my English isn’t perfect and I hope it is understandable!

This is a very nice construction.

However it has 2 flaws:
1. The color This needs to be UEF blue.I know the lego bricks are not available in all colors, but the regular blue should fit in here.
2. The command center. While this is a nice gimmick, from my understanding in the SC universe the only unit with a lifeform inside (apart from civilians) is the ACU.

Due to copyright and trademark constraints I do not believe Lego will ever accept this submission.
Alternatively you could publish the blueprint on specialices moc pages like https://moc.bricklink.com/pages/moc/index.page

Well,

After checking many time in the game, Fatboy is most grey with only few parts that change with player's color. So I don't think it requires to be all blue!
Yeah I know that only ACU has a lifeform inside in SupCom universe, but as I explained in the description, I didn't want to let this empty and choose to custom inside as I thought it could be. That only makes the build set better to play with to me!

LEGO Ideas got a real impact and got an entire program about submission and third party copyright, so I do believe they could release it if it's chosen in review. We could only know if it reaches 10k supports though!

Anyway, thanks for reply and your advice, it's still interesting!

I already stuck this as an announcement on the faf discord + I put it on the /r/faf and /r/supremecommander subreddits a few days ago, might try to crosspost to /r/gaming and /r/lego

i second the blue. i mean think of the lego players they'll see this and go : "oh my god, that looks ghastly, get that surreal amount of dark gray out of my face!"

And I wouldn't blame them.

But I do love the result. Just please for the love of supcom give it a team color.

Pretty sure SACUs are human piloted as well? Might be under the ACU umbrella I guess.

Thanks all for your contribution and returns ! I'll try to take them into consideration and do some updates soon!

Unless you ever see a fatboy poop a SACU my point is still valid.
