One of comedy's silliest standoffs just reached the full 10,000 supporters on LEGO® Ideas. Monty Python and the Holy Grail - French Encounter recreates the moment King Arthur and his knights meet the rudest Frenchmen in the English countryside. Designer Krackenator4 packed roughly 600 pieces into a scene that fans of Monty Python will recognise instantly. Yes, the Trojan Rabbit is here (and yes, someone forgot to climb inside).

The build centres on a portion of the French castle, complete with a battlement for the famously outrageous taunter to hurl insults from. A large door swings open wide enough to welcome the wooden rabbit, and a small working catapult stands ready to fling things back at the Round Table. Want to launch a cow next? Go right ahead, because there is no single right way to build a siege.

Then there is the star of the show. The Trojan Rabbit rolls on wheels, just like the one in the film, and its side door opens so the knights can hide inside (assuming they remember this time). It is a delightfully daft bit of building, and recreating that catapult-launch moment is going to make any castle shelf a lot funnier.

Six minifigures ride along with the set, including King Arthur, Sir Lancelot, Sir Galahad, Sir Bedevere, the French Taunter, and King Arthur's coconut-clapping servant. A few animals round out the clan. Krackenator4 pitched it as a small companion to the growing wave of castle sets, perfect for staging meme-worthy scenes alongside your knights.

With 10,000 supporters secured and 224 comments cheering it on, Monty Python and the Holy Grail - French Encounter now sits in the LEGO® review stage. Will the official team taunt it a second time, or wave this rabbit through? We shall see.
