Read MoreI probably got that name wrong, but according to the IKEA Dictionary that's a Finnish word for ship. And just like pretty much every IKEA I've ever been too, this SHIP by builder LEGOLIZE IT MAN is massive. This intergalactic forklift is a wonder to behold, it's a cargo pusher, and from the size of those engine, I'm guessing this thing could push a boatload of semi-disposable Swedish furniture. (fun fact: BrickNerd Studios is 95% furnished with IKEA stuff, we love it)
I've been around for a while now. Not as long as Tommy of course, but quite a while. And I've seen a ton of variations on the Corellian freighter design. Round in the stern, two mandibles in the bow, docking hatches on the sides, something asymmetrical. So when I saw this YT-1450 Light Freighter, I thought, "Cool build, nice color blocking, interesting/purposeful stuff on the hull, very convincing as something one might see in the upcoming movie."
But that all changed when I saw the next pic. "No frakin' way!!" After alllll these years, that's why the Falcon had those notches in the front, to actually carry cargo. Not just, well, whatever it was that Han and Chewie hauled around inside the ship. Ooger has had a spark of genius here with this freighter, the Nadir, and the massive cargo containers it's got in its teeth. According to him, "Those mandibles had to be used for something, right?" I love it!
