Its scale was just about sensible enough and with a lot of imagination and enough multi-coloured pieces it was possible to get the basic shape. The Eagle Transporter, however, was achievable.

Nothing wrong with that but for the young impressionable viewer with a box full of Lego and an urge to explore space, the Enterprise NCC-1701 was just a bridge too far (no pun intended).
#LEGO DIGITAL DESIGNER MISSING PIECES SERIES#
The only other cool(ish) series around was Star Trek. The main bit for me was the tech - it was super cool! The story lines were cheesy and the fashion was questionable but it was the seventies, so that was kinda normal. once in a while and usually late at night (and age seven it got boring in the last third). Stanley Kubrick's film 2001 was pretty slick but it was only on T.V. They were still running 1950's Flash Gordon on T.V. You have to cast your mind back and remember that this weekly series pre-dated most modern space series and films by a significant margin. Way to go Lego!įeel free to get in touch to talk about the model: was I thinking!Īs a child of the very late sixties and early seventies I adored Space: 1999. So Lego got eBay to protect the Lego empire from a genuine enthusiast.
Failure to do so would result in action against me.
It would have been like trying to advertise ' air pocket protective packaging' because the term ' Bubble Wrap' is actually a brand name of the Sealed Air company!Īnyway, the upshot of this was that I was that after five years my listing was unceremoniously removed and I was 'advised' by eBay not to advertise any more. This sweeping agreement is aimed at all the Chinese copy-cat building brick sets but it seems to affect anyone advertising anything to do with Lego including my MOC build instructions!Īs you can imagine, advertising a set of Lego instructions without mentioning the word 'Lego' was going to be prohibitive, especially given that Lego brand is pretty much a universal descriptor and without using the brand name no one was going to find the instructions. Until recently the instructions for this MOC project were available on eBay but a recent legal agreement with the Lego corporation resulted in eBay banning any listing using the word 'Lego' that isn't an authorised Lego product. Are these the same instructions that used to be on eBay?
