You got Star Wars in my Steampunk!
BlindsideDork | 8:56 AM on 01.10.2008 20 comments


Take one part Steampunk, another part Star Wars and a whole lot of LEGOS and what do you get? Some of the coolest toys I wish were in my room as you read this! How this came to be is from adding those collective key words together and "contest" in a title and the masterful artists come out of the wood work.


But enough of the words, let's bring on the pictures!




Tie Fighter





Pretty sweet looking, but besides the back propeller looks like not much was changed. But that crew member in front tips the scales a bit.




X-Wing



This is a beaut. It retains the original form but mixes things up to make it unique and different.

Not only these were included, but also some sketches of Star Wars Steampunk. Here is a few of them:









If you want to see some more pictures, bigger pictures, or look at the contest this was from, head over to Gizmodo, they have a bunch of stuff and links for you to check out.

I guess people like the Steampunk?

B-Radicate's Destructoid Blog
Those are sweet as hell. They reminded me how I always used to hate LEGO sets for never including the directions for the alternate builds featured on the boxes. Half the time those were cooler than the real set. If only they sold these...
JonDarkwood's Destructoid Blog

Virtualgirl's Destructoid Blog
Cool! It makes me want legos again...
SLiFE's Destructoid Blog

That Tie Fighter seems a tad unpossible.

The legos are fantastic, and I really liked the R2 and 3PO art. Beautiful - steampunk makes me happy in pants.
