Futurama: Welcome to the Year 3000

Benny decided to visit the Planet Express crew (well, Bender had to step out for an oil change). And he brought some Classic Space nostalgia with him!

Notes:

• Benny BrickHeadz design is from LEGO set 41636
• Micro-Scale Space Cruiser model from DK book "Great LEGO Sets - A Visual History", ISBN 978-0-24101-163-8
• The picture on the screen is from an old LEGO brochure

We've hit 300 supporters and we only need 9700 more!

Professor Farnsworth came by personally to congratulate the team...

...and send them on a new delivery which might or might not be only slightly deadly. We hope that Fry, Leela and Bender will survive until we hit the 400 supporter milestone.

I always strive to design things that can be physically built, and while I have built all my BrickHeadz, the stand and backdrops so far only exist digitally.

I have now put in two Bricklink and one Bricks & Pieces order for the parts needed to build the whole thing.

I had to make some alterations because of rare parts or parts that are unavailable in a certain color, but I think it's still close enough to the renders.

I will add pictures of the real build once I get the part orders and build it up... can't wait to have it as a model in front of me!

Support has been a bit slow lately, which gave Fry and Bender free time to turn their attention to the big screen again.

Don't tell them that it's just the old Space Invaders game: they think that they are actually fighting off Lrrr's invasion fleet from Omicron Persei 8. 

We have now reached 200 supporters and I want to thank each and every one of you!

Don’t forget to let your friends, family, co-workers and friendly aliens know about this project!

As you can see, an unexpected guest has sneaked into the 200 supporter celebration: Lord Nibbler, just one of many Futurama BrickHeadz I designed, but could unfortunately not include in my submission…

See you at 300!

Bender and Fry discovered that they can use the big screen to play some old 20th century video games...

Many thanks to all supporters of this project. We have surpassed the 100 supporter milestone in less than 2 days.

This is just awesome and reason enough for Bender, Fry and Leela to pop open the (non-alcoholic) beverages and celebrate!

Fun fact: instead of one of the included stickered 8x16 tiles you can just pop an 8x16 plate into the big screen, get a bunch of small plates and go crazy with your creativity!
