Arrested Development Lego Set...
Combining the shoddy construction of Bluth model homes with the rigid
assembly of interlocking Danish bricks, Matt De Lanoy has put together
the entire main cast, home, and stair car of Arrested Development
out of Legos. Obviously this is great, and all of us right now want to
be playing with them, and having them reenact scenes, and making them
break character to promise us a movie by 2014. That isn't going to
happen, but there is a slight chance we could at least get to
assemble the stair car and let Lego Darth Vader fulfill his destiny of
becoming a hop-on (because you're gonna get some hop-ons).
Go here and vote
for the stair car design, and if it reaches 10,000 votes, Lego will
apparently review it for licensing. Approval will probably never
happen--Lego has made it clear the designs should be suitable for children, not just man-children who have fallen asleep with Mrs. Featherbottom more often than they have a real woman--but considering the impossible has already happened with a new season of the show shooting this summer,
maybe it's not so out of reach. If history is any indication, we
probably just have to keep berating Lego about it every time they're
just trying to promote an unrelated film project.
