LEGO CUUSOO The Legend of Zelda Achieves 10000 Supporters

May 4, 2012 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

In less than a week, another set has reached the 10000 supporters needed for LEGO CUUSOO to consider it for production. The latest set to get this achievement is The Legend of Zelda. We here at The Brick Fan like to congratulate Mingles for this accomplishment. Now the project will continue to the review phase in which the LEGO Jury will decide if they will decide if the set is viable set for the public. One obstacle is the licencing because The Legend of Zelda is a Nintendo product and Nintendo already has an agreement with another “building” company, K’Nex. We will see in the upcoming months if this set will pass review and be produced worldwide. This set has the potential to be the parent of other sets due to the vast world of The Legend of Zelda and the possibilities it provides.

We’ve keenly watched the support for this project from fans of the legendary video game series. You’ve made it at last, thanks to the broader community of Legend of Zelda fans. Congratulations!

Also, you built a very nice set design for the finale from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It’s a great response to our request from the comment we made for 5,000 supporters. This gives the concept some focus and something from which our team can work.

What happens now?
This project moves from the Idea stage to the Review stage. A “LEGO Jury” composed of designers, product managers, and other key team members will examine the idea. … Continue

LEGO CUUSOO Back to the Future – DeLorean Time Machine Achieved!!

April 28, 2012 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

On April 28, 2012, The Back to the Future – DeLorean Time Machine set by Masashi Togami has achieved the 10,000 supporters needed for LEGO to consider it to be released as a commercial set. We here at The Brick Fan like to congratulate Masashi on a job well done! The set was put on LEGO CUUSOO on August 1, 2011 but patience has paid off. There’s still an issue with the licensing but I’m not surprised if The LEGO Group already has something set up already. Hopefully we’ll get to see this set in production in the near future. Below is the official LEGO CUUSOO statement.

Congrats on 10,000 Supporters, m.togami!

Slow and steady wins the race. You came out in front early on with the DeLorean model and you have done it thanks to hard work and persistence. The awesome LEGO model didn’t hurt, either. Congratulations!

As we’re approaching the 30th anniversary of Back to the Future, this project could not have come at a better time. Congratulations on achieving 10,000 supporters. We now officially advance this project to the Review phase.

What happens now?
This project moves from the Idea stage to the Review stage. A “LEGO Jury” composed of designers, product managers, and other key team members will examine the idea. 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 … Continue

LEGO CUUSOO The Winchester – Shaun of the Dead Results

April 26, 2012 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Even with all the support The Winchester – Shaun of the Dead had on LEGO CUUSOO, The LEGO jury has declined the set. Below is the statement LEGO gave on the LEGO CUUSOO Blog:

The LEGO Jury has completed the review of the Winchester – Shaun of the Dead project that hit 10,000 supporters on LEGO CUUSOO on March 31, 2012.

LEGO CUUSOO gives the opportunity to submit product ideas, however all LEGO products, regardless of age target, must be content appropriate for our core audience. With this in mind we have decided that – good though the model is – the film Shaun of the Dead contains content that is not appropriate for our core target audience of children ages 6-11.

Long before the Winchester received mainstream media attention, Greg (Yatkuu) contacted us in earnest to see if his project was acceptable. We recognized the potential conflict, but didn’t see a reason to remove the project. The model was presented tastefully and we thought it deserved fair consideration. With 10,000 supporters, the Winchester earned the opportunity to receive the full LEGO Review.

Greg has been a pleasure to work with throughout this process. We’re impressed by his model, grateful for his constructive approach with us, and we are sad to disappoint such a devoted LEGO fan.

We appreciate the passion exhibited for new product ideas on LEGO CUUSOO. Opening ourselves to new product suggestions invites popular ideas that don’t always fit our brand. This is the first time we’ve felt that we should turn … Continue
