Visit Walmart to see how huge 25-foot ships can be constructed from sturdy cardboard. Does anyone work at Dreamworks, Walmart, or the company who created these huge ships?

I'd like to get maybe an estimated cost of a cardboard FLAGG? Not just a 25-foot FLAGG for Walmart during Joe's movie sequel. Yet maybe one fans can squeeze into their garages or basements. Or, more reasonably a smaller 10-foot FLAGG fans can buy. Robotech made a 5-foot long cardboard ship for its SDF-1. Making something similiar for the FLAGG (partially or completely out of cardboard) is more than possible. Of which has been discussed in a previous thread here below. See post #38...

Can anyone help find the company who produces 25-foot long cardboard ships???

Our walmart has this ship up too. I would just ask a manager and see if they can find out for you. My mom works at one of our walmarts so I'll see if she can find out who made this?

Hmmm, that is quite a thought. I think its also made out of Gator board with is firm like foamboard but cheaper. I think it would be cool as hell to see a 25 foot cardboard USS FLAGG display for the next movie. Considering all the shelf space beneath the thing and the straighter angles (no curves) I would think it would be great.

I so want to get one of these after the promotion and build a base for it with motor/wheels to drive around... it would be epic. I'd fly a jolly roger flag on it...
