The Star Wars Alphabet Project

An anonymous reader writes "A ship for every *other* letter in the alphabet. Jon Palmer is creating a Star Wars fighter out of LEGO for every letter in the alphabet (minus X,Y,B,A,E and V). He has about 5 to go. Check out the project on From Bricks to Bothans." I have to admit, some of these look even cooler than the ships created for the newer Star Wars movies.

  1. Do all those pieces actually exist? by farnerup · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Sorry for acting like an old fart, but wasn't Lego more fun when there was a limited number of different pieces in a limited number of colors? Nowadays, the sets consist of like three large custom-made painted pieces that you put together in ten seconds. The point of Lego is that you can build anything from a few simple parts.

      Ever notice that the lack of build-anything-lego coincides with charts being dominated by brainless lolita pop and one crappy Hollywood movie remake after another being spammed out? Lego isn't the only thing using small numbers of custom-made pieces nowadays. I sense some kind of connection.
