Hi all, After I got done playing my trumpet the other day I thought of an idea. Lego should make instrument sets. These wouldn't be minifigure size, but life size. You could display them in a case and Lego could offer different instruments. I added some pictures I've found of instruments people have made. Pretty cool looking if you ask me. I then thought of two cons relating to this idea. 1. Limited Market People will probably only buy it if they are a Lego fan and play the instrument making the potential customer pool smaller. 2. Unique parts If for example they made a trumpet, it would probably require new parts. This equals a higher cost initially to make the set. What do you guys think?

I wouldn't buy it, at that point most people would probably buy the real thing to display. It would be a very very niche market and doubt it could draw the sales to justify making them into sets.

The more I thought about it, the more it seems too limited as far as the market goes.

I think my mom would buy them!

It is an interesting idea, but I'm not sure what the final price point of such a build would be. Like Maverick2k1 said, at a certain point and depending on the instrument the build is based on a person could just buy the real thing.

Don't know though. I would like a snazzy looking Gibson Flying V on the wall!
