The ATLAS Mini Model – Education/Outreach Project by SaMe on LEGO CUUSOO has quickly reached the 10000 supporters needed to be reviewed by The LEGO Jury in the 2013 Fall Review. The reason why the project hit the goal so fast is because of the help of a science related Facebook Page. With over 5 million likes on the page itself, thousands of people saw the project on their Facebook stream and helped support it. The influx of supporters actually crashed the server that CUUSOO is on and the response was overwhelming.
The ATLAS Mini Model is based on the ATLAS Experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. If you’ve been following science news, the LHC is a particle accelerator used to prove or disprove the Higgs boson or the “God particle.” In July 2012, ATLAS was one of the experiments that was involved in the discovery of a particle that was similar to the Higgs boson. The Mini Model consists of 560 pieces and is able to be built in less than an hour.
Congratulations to SaMe for getting this amazing achievement! We’ll see later this year if the project will pass the review stage and become an official set or not. Science projects have had a good track record on passing the review stage. Below is the official comment from CUUSOO.

are now available on Amazon. Remember, there is a Clark Kent/Superman minifigure included with both versions of the movie. If you’ve played the LEGO Batman 2 video game, you will find that the movie is just a collection of the cutscenes from the game. Currently, the price for the Blu-Ray/DVD/UltraViolet Combo Pack is $13.99 and the regular DVD version is $9.99. The minifigure alone is probably worth the price of the DVD and plus you get a “movie” with some special features such as the “Building Batman” featurette, 3 bonus cartoons from the DC Comics Vault, a LEGO Batman stop-motion short, and winning shorts from the LEGO DC Universe Super Heroes Video Contest.
