My wife and I are buying a house and she wants us to sell our indulgences. So I am selling my Lego collection, and I was wondering how much interest there is in the Lego community to buy MOC of the Gunstar from The Last Starfighter. Here are some pictures:

So please tell me if you think it would sell well on Ebay and what a fair price for it would be.

I have a few other MOCs that someone might be interested in:

Do you think I should try to sell these as well? Any comments you have would be appreciated greatly. Thanks, Ryan

I know what it’s like to need money and have to sell your MOCs. I understand how that can hurt. But what you’re doing right now is wrong.

You are not respecting Mark and you are not respecting the community. The Gunstar is not your MOC to sell.

Can you sell it? Of course you can. Mark isn’t going to sue you or anything. But should you? God no.

The internet has obviously created this sort of liquid exchange of ideas and information. I understand this. I actually adore it. I understand that once something has been created now (song, movie, lego creation) that it’s going to spread like a virus all over the place.

But you aren’t just ‘downloading’ his Gunship for your own enjoyment. You aren’t even sharing it like an mp3. You’re trying to sell it. You’re trying to make money off of Mark’s hard work.

I can’t possibly think of a worse way to leave an impression on all of us. Why some of the other posters like Chris don’t get this just confuses the hell out of me but oh well.
