LEGO Ghostbusters HQ Instructions by Brent Waller

It has been announced that Brent Waller’s Ghostbusters Ecto-1 will be the next LEGO CUUSOO project to be released as an official set but will not include the iconic Firehouse. Many people were disappointed but don’t worry. Assuming you have the correct amount of pieces, Brent has provided instructions for the Firehouse for FREE on his website in LEGO Digital Designer (LDD) format. You can see in the image below that the Ghostbusters HQ/Firehouse is taller than the Town Hall (10224) modular building so it makes a great addition to your city!

LEGO CUUSOO Modular Apple Store Achieves 10,000 Supporters

The Modular Apple Store project by gotoandbuild is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO CUUSOO. It now joins the LEGO Bird Project in the review stage. The project features a two-floor Apple Store which includes a glass spiral staircase. Also included are Apple founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak as minifigures. The layout of the store is your standard Apple Store that you can find in malls throughout the world. There are tables with computers in the middle of the store and the Genius Bar in the back.

Although the project has successfully achieved 10,000 supporters, I do not see it passing the review stage because of the IP that it is attached to. Congratulations to gotoandbuild for this achievement though. The BTTF – Jules Verne Train now becomes the highest supported project on CUUSOO.

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

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!

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

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

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!

2014.01.17

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
