Jurassic Park Jungle Explorer T-Rex Encounter on LEGO CUUSOO

August 15, 2013 / / 1 Comment

Anyone who knows me personally knows that Jurassic Park is my all-time favorite movie. When I saw it when I was 11 years old, I was amazed on how real the dinosaurs looked. After watching the movie at least 50 times, yes 50, throughout my life, I still can’t get enough of it. I’m at the point where I know the dialogue and know what each character is going to say.

Last week, the BrickQueen has posted a Jurassic Park project on LEGO CUUSOO, the Jungle Explorer T-Rex Encounter. The project features the Jungle Explorer SUV, Dr. Alan Grant, Dr. Ian Malcolm, Lex Murphy, and Tim Murphy minifigures, and the T-Rex.

The Jungle Explorer is based on a Ford Explorer XLT and has a removing glass on the top of the roof to get the “shattering” glass feature when the T-Rex attacked the vehicle. The SUV will be able to seats all four minifigures and has the utility box in the back that stores a flare and a flashlight. There were also night goggles in the movie but it’s not included at this time. They may be added later in a future update.

Another part of the project includes the fence part of the Tyrannosaur Paddock where the Rex breaks through the 10,000 volt electrified fence while the power was out. It even has the decal for the voltage sign and the warning lights.

Overall, I really like the design of the project by the BrickQueen. I’ve already put in my support and hopefully many … Continue

LEGO CUUSOO Poptropica: Dr. Hare’s Lair Achieves 10000 Supporters

August 15, 2013 / / 0 Comments

The Poptropica: Dr. Hare’s Lair by PopCreators is the latest project to reached 10000 supporters on LEGO CUUSOO. If you’re not familiar with Poptropica, it is an online game created by Jeff Kinney, the author of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid book series, and most of it’s players are young children and younger teenagers. Players go to different islands and complete quests to earn credits to spend at the store. The CUUSOO project is based on the lair inside the Carrot Cake Factory that Dr. Hare set up on 24 Carrot Island. The project features the evil genius bunny in his laboratory with accessories that a villain usually has as well as the Giant Rabbot.

Poptropica: Dr. Hare’s Lair joins quite a few projects that qualify for the Fall 2013 Review stage including the Female Minifigure Set, the ATLAS Mini Model, FTL: Faster Than Light, and the Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary project. With Poptropica being the 5th project to qualify for the review, I believe the 2013 Fall Review will have the most projects to be reviewed in it’s history and it may have a few more projects joining before the end of the month. The Fall deadline still a few weeks away and the Macross VF-1 Valkyrie by maxvf1 and Teekay’s Ghostbusters projects have a decent shot in joining the list as well. Congratulations to PopCreators and to the other qualifiers for reaching the review stage!

Congratulations on 10,000 supporters, PopCreators!

LEGO CUUSOO Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary Achieves 10000 Supporters

August 12, 2013 / / 5 Comments

The LEGO CUUSOO Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary project by BrentWaller has achieved 10000 supporters and will now move on to the Fall 2013 review. The Ghostbusters movie will be celebrating it’s 30th anniversary in 2014 and the project will feature many elements of the movie including Ecto-1 and the main characters of Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, Egon Spengler and Winston Zeddemore as well as Slimer. The image does show the Firehouse but Brent doesn’t think that it will be included in the final product. With this achievement, Brent has become the second CUUSOO creator to have two or more projects to reach 10000 supporters with his Batmobile Tumbler Minifig Scale being the first project. mb_bricks was the first creator to do so. The Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary has been climbing the ranks of supporters the past few weeks and today has finally reached the ultimate goal of 10000 supporters. Congratulations to BrentWaller again for reaching the goal and if everything goes well, we’ll be seeing a Ghostbusters set in the near future and will be joining the Back to the Future DeLorean Time Machine (21103) as an official LEGO CUUSOO movie set.

Congratulations on 10,000 supporters, BrentWaller!

LEGO CUUSOO Back to the Future DeLorean Time Machine (21103) Review

August 10, 2013 / / 0 Comments

It is finally here! The latest LEGO CUUSOO to be released as an official LEGO set is the Back to the Future DeLorean Time Machine (21103). The set was created by Masashi Togami and Team BTTF and was submitted to CUUSOO on August 1, 2011. It wasn’t until April 28, 2012 that the projected had enough supporters to go to the Summer 2012 Review. During the review stage, the DeLorean was going up against three other popular projects and we all know the outcome of that. In December 2012, LEGO announced that the DeLorean Time Machine would be an official LEGO set. During the 2013 San Diego Comic Con, LEGO released the set on sale early for attendees of the event and on August 1st, the set was officially released to the public which is two years to the day after it was first submitted on CUUSOO. The set contains 401 pieces and retails for $34.99, a $0.09/piece ratio. The box contains five unnumbered bags, one fairly large instruction booklet, and three loose plates.

LEGO Doc Brown’s GMC Value Van By Team BTTF

August 10, 2013 / / 0 Comments

Last month, Masashi Togami revealed that he and Team BTTF will be releasing more Back to the Future related sets to be added to LEGO CUUSOO in the next few months. Today, Sakuretsu has posted a few preliminary images of Doc Brown’s GMC Value Van. It is the white van that is used to transport the DeLorean Time Machine at the Twin Pines Mall. On the side of the van, it has the wording “DR. E. BROWN ENTERPRISES — 24 HR. SCIENTIFIC SERVICES. The images also show a smaller DeLorean that is able to fit inside the van. Some other things that are shown in the images are Marty and Doc in their radiation suits with Einstein. Marty is holding the video camera that was used to record Doc’s experiment of the temporal displacement. Doc is seen holding plutonium that he took from the Libyan nationalists. Just from seeing the images, I feel that this will be a popular project on CUUSOO when it is submitted later this month.

What Does Michael J. Fox Think of The LEGO BTTF DeLorean Time Machine (21103)?

August 7, 2013 / / 0 Comments

LEGO CUUSOO Back to the Future Time Machine (21103)

It seems that Marty McFly himself has gotten a hold of a LEGO Back to the Future DeLorean Time Machine (21103) set. So what does he think about the set? Michael J. Fox this morning tweeted just one word about it: “Bitchin'”. That pretty much sums his thoughts of himself being immortalized as a LEGO minifigure and the DeLorean being created out of LEGO bricks.

You may or may not know this but every LEGO Back to the Future DeLorean set you purchase, the creator of the set, Masashi Togami, gets 1% of the royalties from the sales of these particular sets. Being the very generous man that he is, Masashi and Team BTTF will be donating all the proceeds that he gets to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. Michael has been battling the disease since 1991 and has retired from acting to turn his energy and focus to his foundation. With the proceeds of the LEGO sets going towards helping his work, we’re that much closer to finding a cure of this horrible disease.
