Once we finished building this #LEGO #Marvel set, my 6-year old whispered to me: “I think I prefer Venom to the Spider Mech”.

With that lame of a giant robot, I would ditch Spider-Man any day of the week too. Except I wouldn't feel shame like my kid did.

I used to like #LEGO Ideas.

But it was before discovering #MOC designs.

I like both #LEGO bricks and #cycling, but this is just ridiculous. Having wide enough safe bike lanes in real life is a must for a variety of reasons. Just having bike lanes in official LEGO sets is great and enough.

But having wide enough bike lanes for plastic figure who can’t bend their knees is utterly futile. LEGO isn’t about realistic proportions anyway, so if it ever makes it to an official product, it will look off just compared to roads for example.

I wouldn’t have minded the initiative if the LEGO Ideas project page was linking to a real cycling safety initiative. After all the creator is a city councilperson. But it currently doesn’t, so it looks like it’s about making LEGO bike lanes wider for the sake of it, and I’m having none of it.

So I've been looking into building a #StarCraft I Terran Battlecruiser out of #LEGO parts, but so far the existing models are either too big (5800 pieces! https://www.brickvault.toys/products/battlecruiser-star-craft) or too small (350 pieces https://www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/design.page?idModel=136668).

I may start designing one from the ground up at a scale in between these, and for that endeavor I'd like to have the highest quality reference material. I already have the low-res StarCraft I sprites from 1998, but so far I haven't been able to find the high-res StarCraft Remastered sprites.

Does anyone know where I could find them?
