Spaceballs Eagle 5 on LEGO Ideas

[CMIII]

this Idea is a bit out there. Although I like Space Balls I cannot see many buying it

This is awesome on so many levels. But no flamethrower? For shame.

"Winnebago? ...Lone Starr!"

This might be the one Lego Ideas set I will have no choice but to actively track down and purchase (assuming it ever gets made). Loved that movie to the point I can almost quote the entire thing verbatim.

Flamethrower?

Are you maybe thinking of Stripes instead?

I would buy this and love it if they ever actually made it. Mel Brooks made a deal with George Lucas over the parody and Lucas' only stipulation was that Brooks not make any toys. Not sure if that extended when Disney took over so who knows?

I know that, but that's exactly why I was confused. There's no reason to include the flamethrower in this set because it had nothing to do with the Eagle 5 (whereas the RV in Stripes did have a built-in flamethrower).

Now if his comment was just meant as a joke, then it wasn't a very good one.

That deal between Lucas and Brooks is also the reason why the "Merchandising" scene and associated running-gags are in the film.
