Daft Punk Legos aren’t official yet but this father-son team are hoping their Alive 2007 concert play set will become an official product.
Daft Punk Legos
In 2020, a father-son team of Lego builders submitted their recreation of Daft Punk’s Alive 2007 stage build to Music To Our Ears!, a competition sponsored by Lego and Universal Music. Although the kit won first prize, it wasn’t selected to become an official product.
In the spirit of the song “One More Time,” and inspired by Daft Punk’s recent Legofication in the Pharrell Williams Lego biopic Piece By Piece, the duo has decided to submit the Daft Punk Legos set to Lego Ideas in the hopes that they will “Get Lucky” and it will finally become a real product.
“Both huge Daft Punk fans,” they wrote on the Lego Ideas page, “this build is a fusion of two passions. I spent my teenage years listening to Homework on my Walkman, while my son’s first favorite baby song was “Get Lucky.” It felt only natural to blend our love for Daft Punk’s music with our love for Lego.”
Daft Punk Legos: Pyramid Power
The set depicts the be-helmeted Daft Punk duo atop the famous pyramid stage piece for the Alive 2007 show, the moment when electronic music performances changed from two guys making sandwiches to two guys making sandwiches on top of a well-lit platform.
“My then eight-year-old son started with a prototype built from the bricks we had at home, and I expanded on it digitally,” the explanation continued. “The centerpiece of the design – a rotating box of transparent bricks inside a pyramid – is powered by a motor, with a set of lights dangling inside to recreate that iconic Daft Punk Alive 2007 pyramid.”
It’s a pretty impressive build, all the more so for the angular shape.
“This 2000-piece set was quite the challenge,” the father-son team explained. “Lego bricks are rarely used for triangular shapes, so we had to find creative ways to make all those angles click.”
Daft Punk Legos: Not a Real Toy Yet
The Daft Punk Legos build is not a real product yet. It will need to get 10,000 supporter votes to make it to a Target shelf. At the time of publication it had 718 supporters with 421 days remaining. Head to the Lego Ideas page to vote yourself (link below).
In other Lego news, you may remember the Lego recreation of a Technics SL-1200 MK2. That’s still in the running at 4636 supporters.
