LEGO CUUSOO The Adventure Time Project Achieves 10,000 Supporters

November 20, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The Adventure Time Project by jazlecraz now becomes the latest project to hit 10,000 supporters on LEGO CUUSOO. The set features a micro-scale Tree Fort and includes various notable characters of the show such as Finn, Jake, BMO, Ice King, Princess Bubblegum and Marceline. If you haven’t heard of Adventure Time, it is an animated TV series that takes you through the adventures of Finn and Jake. The show does feature a little bit of controversy but it is geared towards kids. Whether it is suitable for LEGO’s core audience and guidelines, that is up for the the LEGO Jury to decide in the Winter 2013 Review Stage. Congratulations to jazlecraz for the achievement! One last comment: Bacon Pancakes.

Mathematical! You’ve reached 10,000 supporters!

We’ll build concept models and determine if the concept meets our high standards for what it takes to be a LEGO product, including playability, safety, and fit with the LEGO brand. Every LEGO product goes through a process like this and must meet the same standards.

LEGO CUUSOO Legend of Zelda Iron Knuckle Encounter Hits 10k Supporters

November 1, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The latest project to hit 10,000 supporters on LEGO CUUSOO is the Legend of Zelda: Iron Knuckle Encounter by Wes Talbott. The set features Link running into the Iron Knuckle in a very nice looking playset filled with little trinkets as well as breakable pillars much like in the Ocarina Of Time.

CUUSOO has had a couple of Legend of Zelda sets reach the Review Stage but were eventually turned down, most likely with the IP issue. Even Wes in the comments section stated that his project may not be chosen as an official set but it doesn’t take away from the fact that it has a fairly large number of supporters. We’ll just have to see what happens when the Winter 2013 results are out. Congratualations to Wes for this amazing achievement!

Congratulations on 10,000 Supporters, WesTalbott!

2013.11.02

Huge congratulations to WesTalbott and all of the supporters of this LEGO® CUUSOO project. This is now the third project based on the Legend of Zelda to reach 10,000 supporters, so it’s very clear to us that LEGO and Zelda fans worldwide really want to see this happen.

Even though we haven’t been able to move forward with the past two Legend of Zelda proejcts, our team is happy to consider this project in the Winter 2013 LEGO Review period on its own merits.

This project moves from the Idea stage to the Review stage. A “LEGO Review Board” composed of designers, product managers, and other key team members will examine the idea. We’ll

LEGO CUUSOO Back to the Future Locomotive 131

October 16, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

Team BTTF continues to add more impressive Back to the Future sets to LEGO CUUSOO. Today, they have submitted the Locomotive 131 from BTTF 3 to their wide assortment of sets they currently have going at this moment.

The project, as usual, was created by Sakuretu and it features the Locomotive 131 which was used to push the DeLorean to make it reach 88 mph and to make it go back to the present time. Along with the locomotive, the project also includes the tinder or the car that holds the fuel for the train and in this case, it is wood cart. The Locomotive conforms to the LEGO Trains Rail system as well as the Power Functions so if you already have them, you can recreate the ending scene at BTTF 3. But that’s not all! Sakuretu has also included minifigures of Marty McFly, Doc Brown, as well as Clara in their western outfits. Accessories included are Marty’s pink hoverboard and the the colored Presto logs to push the DeLorean up to 88 mph.

If you like what you see, head over to the project page on CUUSOO and show your support. Note that the DeLorean is not included as it is available on Shop@Home.

Update: There is now a video showcasing the Power Functions along with the Locomotive.

September 22, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

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!
