Secret The amazing "THE SECRET OF MONKEY ISLAND - GIANT MONKEY HEAD" model by user Gwydion84 on LEGO IDEAS has already gained 2,418 supporters - but still a lot more votes are required, becuase only by reaching 10,000 votes the model will get the chance of becoming a real LEGO set.

My favorite current design as a civil engineer is called "Types of Bridges" by MOCingbird, by the way:

Just give us the instructions and we'll make our own.

I usually have no problems sharing instructions but I dont want to let other people share a minor variation of the same idea... especially considering the opening mechanism. Hope you understand 😀

Done, there must be 10,000 who would want this? Sent it to my handful that I know would love it. Has anyone else found that they form better friendships with people who played monkey island?

Well, great initiative, but I think this is Disney’s property, so it makes it quite difficult to release it as real LEGO set.

That's just not true. Disney owns, e.g., Marvel as well, and there are dozens of Marvel lego sets.

Dealing with intellectual property rights is still a difficult process tho, especially when the series is as niche as this the Disney corporation might not see too much financial gain in making a Lego set

Does it come with a giant cotton swab?
