LEGO designer reveals hidden details in new Space Shuttle Discovery set [i]No one at LEGO told Milan Madge to begin creating a detailed model of the space shuttle. It was years before the toy company decided to produce the new NASA Space Shuttle Discovery set — released for sale at LEGO Stores and on LEGO.com on Thursday (April 1) — that Madge and some of his fellow LEGO designers began bandying about the idea for a large-scale, toy brick version of the winged orbiter. "It started more as us just sparring and talking about how cool a LEGO space shuttle in that scale would be, and then it was people saying, 'Oh, what if we used that element for the engines? What if we used this element for the cockpit?' And all those things came together until someone built a concept model," Madge told collectSPACE in an interview.[/i]
