Arrowhead CCO and Helldivers 2 creative director Johan Pilestedt has a new target outside the battlefield: a LEGO Helldivers Super Destroyer set, a childhood dream he just floated on social media.

File this under 'did not have on my Tuesday bingo card': Arrowhead's CCO and Helldivers 2 creative director Johan Pilestedt just tossed his childhood dream onto social like it was nothing — he wants a LEGO set of the game's Super Destroyer. Not as a tease, not as a marketing breadcrumb. Just a guy saying the quiet part out loud.

The ask, straight from the source

"I really would love a Helldivers Super Destroyer lego set. Would be a childhood dream come true!"

That was Pilestedt on December 10, 2025. No wink, no nudge, no brand partnership lurking in the shadows. And predictably, one casual post was enough to light the "what if LEGO actually did this" signal flare.

He has pitched LEGO before

This is not a new itch for him. Back on March 29, 2024 — when the game was fresh and the third faction was still more rumor than reality — a fan asked if the Eagle-1 might ever land on shelves in brick form. Pilestedt jumped in and tagged LEGO directly:

"I don't know if that's something @LEGO_Group would do. It would be a childhood dream though to have been part of making a Lego set."

Nothing public came of that exchange, but clearly the dream survived — and leveled up from a dropship to the capital ship players hang out on between missions.

Why a Helldivers LEGO set actually makes sense

  • Helldivers 2 has been a real win for Sony, not a weekend fad.
  • LEGO loves licensing popular games and movies, especially ones with legs.
  • The Super Destroyer is an obvious pick: it is the game's floating home base and basically the face of the brand at this point.
  • The community is already doing LEGO R&D for free (more on that below), which is a pretty loud demand signal.

The fans did not wait for a license

While corporate gears grind at their own pace, Helldivers fans have already built multiple Super Destroyers in LEGO — complete with instructions if you are willing to source the parts. On December 11, 2025, user @dabjulmaros showed off a tiny desk version and said they would grab an official set instantly. That same day, @_KapitanBomba pointed out you can find instructions online and build one yourself if your brick stash is up to the task.

The standout: on December 10, 2025, @TreyPaget highlighted a custom Super Destroyer that uses only pieces from one set — the Millennium Falcon #75375. The instructions are up on Rebrickable, the site where builders sell and share designs that stick to existing parts lists. Efficient? Subversive? Little bit of both.

These builds range from neat little display pieces to absolute units that will test your shelves and your patience. The dedication is very Helldivers — Major Orders energy, but in plastic.

So, could LEGO bite?

If you are doing the math: a popular game with two years of staying power, a clean hero vehicle to anchor a set, a creator who wants to help, and a fanbase that is literally pre-visualizing the product. Feels less like a long shot and more like a matter of timing.

Would you buy an official Super Destroyer day one, or have the custom builds already scratched the itch? Personally, I am in the 'please take my money' camp, but I respect anyone who raided their Falcon for parts in the meantime.
