The Screaming Skull might work. A big Lego house, almost completely empty, a gardening shed filled with little Lego pots, lots of baskets and skulls for the five mini-figs to tote everywhere. Wait, does Lego make peacock figures? Maybe they could create some just for this special set, and include a Lego coffin with every purchase, too.
Well since movies like Mac & Me, Starcrash, Hobgoblins, Yongary, and especially Atlantic Rim are cheap knock-offs, they’d have to be done with the LEGO knock-off Mega Bloks.
The Lego of Boggy Creek II ?
Racket Girls
Lego set pieces would actually be a step up for that movie. Plus, the plastic grins on Scalli and Joe would work well when you need to duplicate reaction shots for the various matches.
Fire Maidens. Since Legos sit around and do nothing, the Fire Maidens Lego set would be an accurate depiction of the movie.
THEY’RE STILL SITTING AROUND!
LEGO My Eggo!
I envision a display of thousands of waffles made of LEGOs to commemorate the time Joel went waffle wacky. Don’t forget the LEGO butter and the LEGO syrup.
Manos: though you’d have to put Torgo’s little legs in the oven and then mold them to get the right look; and wouldn’t the fight among all the wives be interesting!
The Brain That Wouldn’t Die: Jan’s little Lego head scowling in a little Lego pan would be worth it just by itself; it would be real easy to rip the lab assistant’s arm off, too; and who doesn’t want to hear Lego voices saying “Help, I’m in another dimension”?
I think Moon Zero Two would make a great LEGO set, what with all the spacecrafts and moon buggys and the brightly-colored spacesuits
hey I just noticed, is that Babylon 5 back there? that was another awesome show
ooh! How about a Killer Shrews set? They just sit and talk and have a LOT of drinks and don’t ever move. Also, LEGO shrews would be adorable!
while we’re on the subject of movies where nothing happens, how about The Starfighter? LEGO jets that have to constantly refuel while the LEGO congressman keeps making harassing LEGO calls to to LEGO Bob Dornan
or LEGO Ring of Terror where LEGO Puma scares LEGO Moffat to death after enjoying the dissection of LEGO Jon Doe
also LEGO Tiny and LEGO Ragdoll who dive into a LEGO wheelbarrow of LEGO hotdogs at the LEGO Frat Initiation Ceremony
Have an Ed Wood Lego set. It would just be a lot of used Lego sets jammed together in no particular order.
The Setup –
A darkened room. A floor strewn with LEGOS. noW EvErYBodY WiLl wALk LiKE ToRgO.
Gumby in Lego Robot Rumpus
Off the subject of MST3K, the rest of Monty Python & Holy Grail would have been nice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjacqcTFYFw
Here’s something that’ll mess with people’s heads: a LEGO version of the Gumby Claymation short “Robot Rumpus”.
would it be more cost effective to use a bunch of ‘Cooties’ games if you wanted to do ‘Phase 4?’
of course, building Mamie Van Doran may be a little tough on the psyche if you were doing ‘Girl’s Town’ or ‘Untamed Yout.’
and no i wasn’t channeling ‘my Cousin Vinnie’ on my prior post. damned non existent edit function.
A Diabolik’s Lair playset would be pretty cool. Comes with spinning room full of money, giant tank of gold, and with a few tweaks, it can double as an Operation Double 007 playset!
Moon 13 Lego kit, with Lego Kinga and Lego Max (for Jonah and the bots to play with and ridicule).
Bonehead band sold separately.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who heard, “Lego my Eggo” in those old adds. A Lego version of the toy set that was featured in the host segment of one of the Gamera movies might be cool, if a nightmare to assemble:
“Torso not included.
Some parts may not exist.
Existential void where prohibited.”
Lego Sidehackers. But you only get to play with the sidekick bikes for five minutes, then they’re taken away and replaced with the J.C. vs Rommel Pointless Rivalry set.
There was a Rita’s Death Scene set but it was recalled by the manufacturer.
^^ “sidehack”, not “sidekick”. Stupid autocorrect!
New from Lego: The official “Girl In Lover’s Lane” Lego play set! Now you can have hours (well, minutes) of fun with Lego Danny and Lego Big Stupid. Includes boxcar interior, diner interior, pool hall, and alley. Also includes Lego Carrie, Carrie’s Dad, Jessie, and Millie. Lego Brothel and Prostitutes sold separately.
Don’t forget Lego Jack Elam! A Lego pinball machine would be really sweet, too.
LEGO Red Zone Cuba! Includes three grimy, scuffed up figures, Cherokee Jack, a couple off-brand Army figures, and not much else. Good luck invading Cuba, kids!
Jack Elam played Jessie. Of course, the Jessie figure would have a weird smell.
Positive that a Mamie Van Doren Lego would be a big hit despite the fact that it falls forward often.
yes it was and in the foreground was the 1978 Battlestar Galactica.
yes it was and in the foreground was the 1978 Battlestar Galactica.
a Monster a Go-Go set.
but there was no Lego Set…
Lost Continent. Lego men endlessly climb Lego rocks before facing nearly immobile Lego dinosaurs. Lego cigarettes not included.
Finally! I’ve been waiting and waiting!
Most have been mentioned, but I really think the movies that tried to be deeply serious dramas would be enjoyably bonkers. The more deeply tragic the better. It would be so pointlessly weird they’d be these ironic pieces of art. Especially with the riffs coursing through our heads. And personally, I would love to see Violent Years.
A LEGO “I Accuse My Parents” set would be…interesting. On the box it would show Jimmy with his happy family, an important job, and having grand adventures. But when you open the box it would only contain an empty house littered with half-empty bottles of booze, a passed out mom, a dad going out with a floozy, and a dead-end job.
Actually, there was, but it was missing all the most crucial pieces . . .
The Carnival Magic set does have all your favorite Carny Characters complete with custom vehicles and accessories.
The Space Mutiny Lego kit would be enormous: think how many Legos you’d need to build that vast boiler room! Lego makes great railings, too: there’d be a lot of them, and some of the figures would have grooves on the top of their feet so you could attach them to the railings as if they were sailing over. And think of all the auxiliary kits: the murky rave club, the bridge where everyone just stands around, the room where the frozen bodies are hanging, the Bolarian room with lots of clear plastic balls and a ferret cage! You could build all of them, and then use all your regular Legos to somehow connect these spaces better than they were connected in the movie. Dave Ryder would have to be purchased separately, with a different head for all the different nicknames. The Lt. Lamont figure would be made of titanium and completely indestructible.
Best part: someone has already done a Lego version of the Southern Sun at the same LEGO show with the SOL.
As for other set ideas:
-Megaweapon from Warrior of the Lost World.
-A Santa Claus set based on his main room in the film (complete with figures of Santa, Merlin, the laughing reindeer, and the Spanish boy assistant).
-The Hitler Building.
someone had the German Reichstag building from the Battle of Berlin so that might be the closest to the Hitler Building.
I think you mean the Souther Su-
dammit, lol
First off, I will address the elephant in the room… What is this Lego convention called and where was it held? Cause I want to to.
Broken cigarette and penny sold separately!
The Creeping Terror set would include the spaceship, the generic truck for the army Special Unit, Martin and Brett figures that you can’t get apart, and big swatches of carpet. You’ll love sticking lots of little Lego figures into the creature’s mouth head first! Kit doesn’t come with print instructions, but with an audio recording of a narrator telling you where everything’s supposed to go. Dance hall with completely unrelated figures and lover’s lane sold separately.
Boggy Creek II –
The entire kit consists of a single, tiny LEGO brick. When you open the box and look inside you can say…
“I saw the little LEGO!”
(Sorry. Sorry. Please don’t throw things)
