Custom LEGo "From the creative mind of Designer Thomas Lockwood comes a masterpiece of design, function, and fun. A true Browncoat's dream come true, the Firefly Serenity Playset is the set that never was meant to be. This set has everything you want in a toy: Immediate recognizability, features to play with, spectacular part usage, and model accuracy & proportion. It all comes together to make this building toy a playable set with an eye towards hours of fun (in building and playing).
This playset has an interesting history. Originally the design was put up on the LEGO CUUSOO site with the possibility of becoming an actual LEGO branded product with a required 10,000 votes. After just a couple of months, in what must have been some sort of speed record, all votes were obtained and success seemed imminent. Much to the chagrin of supporters everywhere, the playset did not pass LEGO's review, despite recognition, praise, and visibility from a bunch of websites, Wired.com, retweets from 3 of the show's actors & Grant Imahara. That was the end...or so everyone thought.
Steps have been taken to ensure that this model finally will be available for all. While not an official LEGO set, this is being provided as a service to find & source all the bricks required to put this together, along with the instructions and a few other surprises. Spend your time building the model, not sourcing and waiting for all the parts to come. Instead, get a box of parts in the mail, ready to build."
