LEGO CUUSOO Knight Rider K.I.T.T. by Orion Pax

February 5, 2014 /

If you’re a fan of LEGO MOCs, then you’ve probably heard of Orion Pax, otherwise known as Alex Jones. We’ve featured some his work on our site including the Masters of the Universe, the Transformers G1 Optimus Prime, and the Ghostbusters Headquarters, just to name a few.

We can now report that Alex has gone CUUSOO, not cuckoo, CUUSOO as in his very first project on the site. He has submitted his model of K.I.T.T. from the Knight Rider series in hopes of getting the required 10,000 supporters needed for review. We also featured K.I.T.T. before but this time you can vote on it on CUUSOO and it could have the potential to become an official set. With all the 1980’s cars becoming real sets like the Back to the Future DeLorean Time Machine (21103) and the upcoming Ghostbusters ECTO-1, Alex hopes that his model can join the lineup. Alex’s version of K.I.T.T. is 7 studs wide and also includes a 2×3 red light brick to simulate the Anamorphic Equalizer of the Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am. If you like what you see, give the Knight Rider K.I.T.T. project a vote.

Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary Will Be Next LEGO CUUSOO Set!

January 30, 2014 /

The LEGO CUUSOO Fall 2013 results are in and the next official LEGO CUUSOO set is Brent Waller’s Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary set! Unfortunately, from what was shown in the video (see below), only the ECTO-1 and the minifigures will be in the final product which means the iconic firehouse would be left out. There were a total of seven projects up for review which was a record including Female Minifigure Set, Poptropica: Dr. Hare’s Lair, The Road to Oz, ATLAS Mini Model Education Outreach, Ghostbusters, FTL – Faster Than Light, and Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary. The Female Minifigure Set by Alatariel is still being evaluated. The Land Rover Defender 110 project from the Spring 2012 review was also rejected.

Below are the images from Brent’s project and not a representation of the final product. There were a lot of very good submissions that was going up against the project but somehow it was worthy enough to become official CUUSOO Set #007. The final ECTO-1 car model was largely based on the original design of the car. LEGO is still working out the final design, pricing, and availability for the set. Congratulations to Brent for joining the exclusive club of designers who has gotten their project to become an official LEGO set!

LEGO CUUSOO Buffalo Airways Ice Pilots DC-3

January 22, 2014 /

From time to time, we feature some neat projects on LEGO CUUSOO. We’ve been asked by fellow reader Katie O’Neil to help support the Buffalo Airways Ice Pilots DC-3 project and also help spread the word about it. The model is a collaborative project by Mikey McBryand and Ssorg. The project is based off the Buffalo Airways real life DC-3 and has made numerous appearances in the History Channel’s Ice Pilots. I have actually seen a few episodes of the show in the past and the project does represent the plane very well. Mikey has been hard at work trying to promote his project and we are glad to help out. Head over to the project page to read more about some of the features of the DC-3 and show your support if you like what you see.

LEGO CUUSOO LEGO Bird Project Achieves 10,000 Supporters

January 16, 2014 /

The LEGO Bird Project by Thomas Poulsom, aka DeTomaso, is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO CUUSOO. It is the first project to qualify for the revised review stage. The project was originally a series of birds but had to be revised due to the new CUUSOO guidelines. The project now focuses on a couple of very recognizable birds and DeTomaso hopes that they are an inspiration to both kids and adults. The Modular Apple Store now becomes the highest supported project on CUUSOO. Congratulations to Thomas for this achievement! Read the official LEGO CUUSOO comment below.

Congratulations on 10,000 supporters, DeTomaso!

Congratulations on reaching 10,000 supporters for the LEGO Bird Project. It’s been quite the journey, are your arms wings tired yet?

Thanks for focusing your project on just a few of your iconic bird designs, to fit within what we’re able to produce as a single LEGO set. We’ll evaluate your models as you have prioritized them, and see what might be possible.

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 Review Board” 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. This includes factors such as playability, safety, and fit with the LEGO brand. Every potential LEGO product goes through a process like this

LEGO CUUSOO Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity Rover (21104) Review

January 8, 2014 /

Way back in August 18, 2012, the Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity Rover project by Stephen Pakbaz, aka Perijove, achieved 10,000 supporters on LEGO CUUSOO. At the beginning of the year, it became available for purchase on LEGO Shop@Home and sold out very quickly. I’ve managed to get one before stock ran out and here’s my take on it. The Curiosity Rover (21104) contains 295 and retails for $29.99. At 295 pieces, this set is currently the smallest CUUSOO set that has been released by LEGO. The box contains one instructions book, four un-numbered bags, and two loose 8×16 tan plates.

LEGO CUUSOO Goes From Quarterly Reviews to Tri-Annual

January 6, 2014 /

The team at LEGO CUUSOO has been working to streamline their rules and policies to make the whole process a smoother one. In their latest blog post, they note that they are switching the quarterly review schedule to three times a year and the “shift aligns the review schedule with the rest of the LEGO Group’s internal processes in a way that allows us to release results more regularly.” The review deadlines will now be in May, September, and January. This change will also allows CUUSOO to give results faster for their reviews and instead of waiting nine months for the results, you’ll see them around four months. In addition, they are working to shorten production times so the sets can get to the consumers quicker.

Finally, the results of the Fall 2013 Review will be coming in the next couple of weeks. The deadline for the first 2014 Review deadline is May 5th at 12:00am GMT.

LEGO CUUSOO BTTF – UCS DeLorean Time Machine Achieves 10,000 Supporters

January 5, 2014 /

The BTTF – UCS DeLorean Time Machine is the the latest project to hit 10,000 supporters on LEGO CUUSOO. The project was getting very close to the Winter Review deadline but it garnered enough supporters with only 8 minutes to spare. This is Team BTTF’s second project to get the required supporters for it to have a chance to become an official LEGO set with the first one being the first being the regular The DeLorean Time Machine (21103). This version of the DeLorean was build by Legohaulic and is fit with the RC Function system (see below). Although it won’t get 88 mph, it’ll still be pretty fun to have if it becomes an official set.

The UCS DeLorean now joins the Macross VF-1 Valkyrie, Sherlock, Legend of Zelda Iron Knuckle Encounter, Japanese Old Style Architecture, and The Adventure Time Project in the Winter Review Stage. Congratulations again to Team BTTF for this achievement!

Congratulations on 10,000 supporters!
