If you havn't yet, please go here and help the Serenity LEGO set become a reality! If we can get 10,000 supporters or more, LEGO will actually consider building the set, and not only the set, but it could turn into a series of Firefly related sets!

C'mon really, who doesn't want Captain Malcolm Reynolds and gang mini figures??

Well, we tried.....

While we know this news will disappoint those who supported the project, we will not be producing this as a LEGO product.

LEGO expands on their decision:

LEGO Cuusoo Hi everyone, thank you for your comments.

The primary reason we have decided not to consider the Firefly IP for a LEGO product is the Inara Serra character, who is a "companion," or prostitute. This character and her profession are central... to the story in the Firefly TV series. The character is inextricably linked to the story, and it isn’t possible to produce the model and license the IP without creating a link between the LEGO brand and this character. In this process, we have made our decision for brand fit up front as it is the first logical step in the process; it is upon this basis alone that we have made our decision.

The LEGO Company produces many products that appeal to older builders and adults, and we will continue to expand what we offer for adult fans. At the same time, our products and the IPs they represent must be content-appropriate for a younger audience.

LEGO CUUSOO is a new initiative for us. Opening ourselves up for product suggestions means we must naturally articulate more clearly how we make decisions related to our brand. This is something we haven’t had to do before. Not everyone will be happy with the decisions we make, and people may question our actions and motives. That is one of the costs of being more open, however the benefits and possibilities are far greater. While there will be some disappointments along the way, we will stay focused on the many possible product ideas that are both appropriate for all ages and appeal to adults.

DALEK!

I can see Lego's point. I do think it is sad that Inara buisness is the problem and not the fact that the crew makes a living stealing and sometimes killing.

I do not fear God, I fear the ignorance of man.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

It's sad, but I see their point. Their target demographic is young kids. Imagine how much heat Lego would take for a Serenity set when some mother's group learned that one of the characters was a companion.

Still, would have been nice.....

Well despite the delay, I've finished designing the kit myself and it is now available. http://www.ebay.com/itm/140829842414?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_tr
