District 9 Mech Lego

Not my picture. (If it's yours, let me know and I'll remove if you wish).

Cool work, so anyone have ideas on which lego's to use?

Are you kidding? I can ID a few parts, but there are a lot of custom decals on there.

 

[MooCriket]

Other can the custom decals or paint...I was thinking possibly that the body was made mostly of Star Wars lego's.

 

[Mike J.]

It's possible... There are some odd flat & angled pieces I don't recognize (perhaps from SW kits), but a lot of general 'greeblie' type bricks and detail bits. Lots of minifig hands, and at lest six minifig skis.

The bike and the trash can are from lego City. The brown bike chain looking thing is from the SW kit.

The rest aren't from any particular kit but my son says he has all of them.

Sweet, time to search some flea markets:thumbsup

Great! My son's lego collection won't know what hit it!

I can't place the "knee caps" or a few pieces on the top, but other than those it's all fairly standard LEGO bits. I think I've got most if it in my "extra pieces" bin... just not in the right colors of course... they're never in the right colors :unsure

Those are the Rebublic Gunship Speeder Skis.

Something I can actually help with? :eek

I'm active in the online Lego community, so I know two things off the top of my head that may be useful:

It's unclear whether anyone here knows this (Images spreading over the internet tend to lose accreditation, so it's understandable not to know the original source), but the original model was built by Brian "Mondayn00dle" Kescenovitz.

Second, you don't have to buy the bricks from sets (Or raid your childrens' collections. :lol ) Bricklink's got your back there. (I suppose it could be difficult to find the parts, though, for someone who's not used to the names.)

Not a lego or District 9...but this toys screams D9! I just picked up an Avatar Amp suit toy from Wal-Mart (I've seen at Target as well).

Here is another image of an Avatar Amp suit maquete you can get from here, to give you alittle more detail of what it is:

Really an awesome toy, and the toy in the first pic that I bought tonight is going at Wal-Mart and Target for $20.00. It even comes with a rifle that looks like a spot on copy of the District 9 mech gun!thumbsup
