LEGO CUUSOO Sherlock Achieves 10,000 Supporters

The Sherlock project by flailx is the latest project to hit 10,000 supporters on LEGO CUUSOO. It had massive support from Sherlockology and quickly rose through the ranks of supported CUUSOO projects to reach the milestone. The project is based on the BBC drama of the same name starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. The set is recreates the the consultation room in Sherlock Holmes’ flat in 221B Baker St. The room consists of Sherlock’s desk, a couple of chairs, and a fireplace. There are also some details that reminds you of Sherolock’s place such as the hat rack which includes the deerstalker hat. The expanded version of the set will feature everything from the original plus more details of the living room including the couch and the wallpaper in the room. The minifigures that are featured are Sherlock Holmes, John Watson, and Mrs. Hudson while the expanded set may include Jim Moriarty, Inspector Lestrade, Molly Hooper, and/or Mycroft Holmes. The Sherlock project now moves on to the Winter review stage. As a huge fan of the Sherlock TV series, I’m excited to see this project hit 10k supporters. We’ll just have to see what happens when the review stage rolls around. Congratulations to flailx for this amazing achievement!

Congrats on 10,000 Supporters, Flailx!

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Xbox 360 Achievements

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Xbox 360 Achievements

We are now exactly one month away from the release of the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes video game and Xbox360Achievements.org has posted 45 different achievements you can get for the Xbox 360 system for a total of 1000 points. This list also gives us some details of the game that we haven’t seen before. First, there are 15 levels in the game with the stage names. Another detail is some new characters that haven’t been seen on confirmed character lists such as Kraven the Hunter, Electro, and the Black Cat. In addition, there is an achievement called “Ultimate True Believer” where you have to unlock all the True Believers. Doing a little research, the True Believers are some obscure Spider-man villains and have four members in the group: Payback, Headtrip, Red Zone, Battalus. I haven’t heard of these characters but it may look like they’ll be in the game as well.

There is also an achievement called “Guardians of the Galaxy” where you unlock all the characters from the Guardians of the Galaxy. This means that there could be more than one character from the team in the game. The only one that is confirmed is Rocket Raccoon but could also include Drax the Destoryer, Gamora, Groot, and/or Starlord.

Finally, there are a couple of fun achievements such as one called “The Toast of Croydon” in which you create a character called “Trevor.” *Spoiler Alert* If you remember from Iron Man 3, Trevor was the actor who pretended to be the Mandarin and he was mentioned … Continue

LEGO Legends of Chima Scorpion & Spider Minifigure First Look

While doing my usual news finding on various LEGO communities, I came across something that many people will find interesting. Eurobricks member Karus has posted the above image of the LEGO Legends of Chima: Sticker Storybook which came from Amazon. The image gives us our very first look at a minifigure from the Scorpion tribe as well as from the Spider tribe. The Scorpion is mostly yellow and black and it looks like it’s wearing an armor piece that uses a simple hinge technique to attach the tail (see below). The head piece is also pretty cool looking with it’s emblem on top of the head and the mandibles in front of the mouth.

If you look towards the background of the cover, you can see a little bit of the minifigure from the Spider tribe. Although it’s not very clear, you can see some of the details for it. It’s brown and it looks like it’s wearing a grass skirt. You can also see it’s fangs on the menacing head piece. The four long legs are attached to the back probably similar to Doc Ock from the Spider-Man set.

My initial impression on these new characters is very good. I really like the look of the Scorpion and am looking forward to picking one it up when it comes out next year. Looking at the rumored 2014 Legends of Chima set list, I would guess the Scorpion will be in the Scorm’s Scorpion Stinger (70132) and/or in the Stinger Duel (70140). The Spider … Continue
