If you’re looking for challenging brick builds – you have to check these Alien inspired kits out.


My Own Creation – or MOC – are unofficial LEGO-style brick kits created by fans. Many are for builders that want something more complicated, from IP that LEGO doesn’t have rights for, and/or has a look that official LEGO bricks can’t achieve. They come in a few forms, including directions with parts lists and bagged kits (like the ones below).

Project MOC is a group of brick fanatics that create custom kits for folks looking for builds that are super complex and produce amazing display pieces. They help designers bring their kits to market in a high-quality format that allow builders to jump in without having to search for parts.

Some ambient mood to listen to while checking out the kits…

USCSS NOSTROMO

The USCSS Nostromo, registration number 1809246(09), is a modified Lockmart CM-88B Bison M-Class star freighter owned by the Weyland-Yutani Corporation and captained by Arthur Dallas, registered out of Panama. The Nostromo operates as a tug, connecting to and pulling loads like a tractor truck rather than carrying loads on board like a traditional freighter.

The Narcissus

The Narcissus, registration number 1809-E1, is the Nostromo’s shuttlecraft and lifeboat.

USS SULACO

The Sulaco is named after a fictional town in Joseph Conrad’s 1904 novel Nostromo (the name of which was used for the USCSS Nostromo in the original Alien). A number of other ships in the franchise are named after elements from Conrad’s works as well, including the USCSS Patna (from Alien 3), the USS Verloc (from Aliens Versus Predator 2), the USS Marlow (from Aliens vs. Predator) and the USS Sephora (from Aliens: Colonial Marines).
