Adrian Drake's reimagining of the vessel featured in "Firefly" reflects many years of experience in custom Lego building. "I have been buying Lego regularly since 1999, when the first Star Wars product line came out,” Drake noted in a recent Reddit "Ask me anything" thread. "Buying a few dozen sets a year over 13 years really adds up, so there are around 430,000 pieces in my collection. I had to spend an additional $800 or so on various parts from online places like Bricklink in order to finish the ship."
