Lego giveth brick, and she taketh away… even in the design process.

I hope that somehow LEGO incorperates SNOT into their creations, I would really like to see some of Legoloverman’s space styles, just probably not as detailed considering the limits of some LEGO creations.http://flickr.com/photos/38509565@N00/

I am thinking: Why them? Their themes are not the best. Yes they are both good builders, but ya know, give someone else a chance, not two people have already have it all.

Finally an original space theme, and fan-created at that! Sounds interesting enough, if only for parts.

But wow, they could really use some better faction names.

They will most likely appear in LEGO Brand Stores.

And I think the bigger news is going over most heads. It means they will be adding new bricks to the factory.

I’m not sure if I’m supposed to leak this info or not, but the Space Skulls are skull-shaped things that vaguely reminded me of “black fantasy”. I know one of them had the black tentacles, anyway. There are pictures of at least two of the models in the new issue of BrickJournal – there might have been more, but I was only skimming Joe Meno’s copy and he wanted to show it to a few other people too. I didn’t see any of the “Star Justice” things (another space-age cops-and-robbers thing? Haven’t we had enough RoboForce/Space Police/Space Police II/Star Wars…), but I might have just missed them.

It’s no classic space, anyway, but at least we’ll be seeing some new parts in the Factory selection.

So I assume that these will only be available through LEGO Shop @ Home and will not appear in stores?
