Mystery Science Theater 3000 fans are used to waiting a long time to get what they want. After all, there was an 18 year gap between the last episode of the original series and the first season of the MST3K revival on Netflix. Similarly, it’s been almost two years since we profiled the LEGO Mystery Science Theater 3000 custom build that was submitted to LEGO Ideas. Now, the LEGO MST3K idea has finally picked up the 10,000 supporters it needs to get LEGO to officially consider it.
LEGO builder Jmaster recently returned to his MST3K creation after nearly a year between updates, and he posted a few new pictures of the modifications he’s made in that time. For example, the models for Crow, Tom Servo, and Gypsy have been completely reworked to make them a better fit for the LEGO aesthetic. The new models are in the front row of this pic, while the originals are behind them.
Jmaster’s build includes figures for all of the main bots as well as the show’s three hosts: Joel, Mike, and Jonah. He also unveiled his take on the Satellite of Love, the rickety space station where the hosts and their robot friends were subjected to some of the worst movies of all time.
We’ll be following this story closely as LEGO makes its decision about whether to make it an official set. If it happens, we’ll be the first ones in line for it!
