But that is pretty sweet. I'd ride it.

I loved them in Star Wars. a real one would rock.

CrissCross 04-14-2011 01:08 PM

yeah i heard they're making it so that it can hold 1 tonne or 40 people

Wings of Fire 04-14-2011 01:10 PM

I would prefer a Star Destroyer.

CrissCross 04-14-2011 01:14 PM

or a life-size death star :D

Wings of Fire 04-14-2011 01:16 PM

Death Star is yuck, Star Destroyers are love.

Deathstar-tan appears to have an eye-patch.

Mr. Bungle 04-14-2011 02:42 PM

I'd like one of those things the Jawas ride in. Sand Crawlers I think they're called.

arrr!!!

CrissCross 04-14-2011 02:49 PM

a sand crawler would be cool but it would be pretty easy to make its just a big tank
an AT-ST walker would be pretty cool as well

I'd want a Super Star Destroyer.

Mr. Bungle 04-14-2011 04:41 PM

I want a Millennium Falcon.

CrissCross 04-14-2011 05:56 PM

a walk in millenium falcon would be cool even if it wasnt functional

This is pointless. I'm especially amused how he tells us "I’ve already shared this idea with some of the kings of geek/make culture. Adam Savage of Mythbusters, Mark F. of BoingBoing and Make Magazine and Ken Denmead of Geekdad.com." without mentioning whether any of them actually thought it was a good idea.

Wake me up when he acheives something.

CrissCross 04-14-2011 08:10 PM

I heard that quite alot of people are sponsoring him and he seriously reckons he's going to do it

also i looked up that one in disneys holiday theme park and it's actually pretty cool

Music to my ears.

MeechMunchie 04-24-2011 04:56 AM

Doesn't that play when you click on the Academy in Starcraft?

Strike Witch 04-25-2011 08:22 AM

Probably, Blizzard steals everything else they make from other properties.

do you reckon this guy will actually be able to it

MA 04-25-2011 12:24 PM

to it what?

Phylum 04-25-2011 03:59 PM

I think he was asking To-it if the guy will be able.

CrissCross 04-25-2011 08:08 PM

sorry i meant "to do it"

Nate 04-25-2011 09:24 PM

Whatever that guy ends up doing, it still won't be as awesome as this:
