February 26, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

There is now an official product image of the new LEGO Star Wars Rebels The Ghost (75053). The image below came through my Facebook feed but didn’t attribute a source. I’ve also checked the normal news sites but nothing was found for that particular image either. You can see a clearer image of the ship as well as the minifigures including Zeb Orrelios, Hera Syndulla, and Kanan Jarrus, and a Storm Trooper. Nothing much new but at least there’s another image of The Ghost. The set contains 929 pieces and will retail for $89.99. It will be available in August along with the other sets from the summer wave.

LEGO CUUSOO Back to the Future Projects Featuring Orion Pax

February 26, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

In light of Team BTTF’s Jules Verne Train getting 10,000 supporters on their project, there is another creator on LEGO CUUSOO who also has some Back to the Future projects hoping to achieve what Team BTTF has done three times already and that person is Orion Pax, aka Alex Jones. If you’re fans of LEGO MOCs, you may have heard of Orion’s name since we’ve featured him on the site a few times before. On CUUSOO, he has listed a number of projects themed with “2015” which is the 30th anniversary of the first Back to the Future movie.

One of those projects is the Nike MAG that Marty wore in the second film. These particular shoes are confirmed to be re-released by Nike next year with power laces. Orion’s other BTTF projects include various buildings from Back to the Future II such as the Cafe 80s, the cinema showing Jaws 19, the Texaco station, and the iconic Hill Valley Courthouse.

Go check out these projects and support them if you like what you see. Also remember that Team BTTF also has some other neat projects that you can support as well. Overall, it’s cool to see that many fans are embracing the fact that a renowned movie like Back to the Future will be reaching its 30th anniversary and are creating things that bring back memories of when we first saw the movie and hopes that fans like us can actually have one of these sets in our hands.

LEGO CUUSOO BTTF – Jules Verne Train Achieves 10,000 Supporters

February 26, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The BTTF – Jules Verne Train by Team BTTF becomes the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO CUUSOO. It now joins the LEGO Bird Project and the Modular Apple Store in the review stage on May 5th. Coincidentally, Jules Verne is also the first train-type project to get 10,000 supporters. The Train was seen at the very end of Back to the Future III when Doc Brown along with his family, Clara, Jules, and Verne, comes back from the Old West to visit Marty and Jennifer.

The Jules Verne Train is now the third project by Team BTTF to achieve this feat along with their DeLorean-Time-Machine (21103) as well as the UCS DeLorean Time Machine. By getting the required amount of supporters on this project shows that LEGO fans, especially AFOLs, appreciate projects that are based on things we are familiar with and all grew up with such as the Back to the Future movies.

Congratulations yet again to Team BTTF for reaching their goal! The Invisible Hand now becomes the highest supported project on CUUSOO.

Congratulations on 10,000 supporters, m.togami!

LEGO CUUSOO Now Accepting Doctor Who Projects

February 25, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 6 Comments

LEGO CUUSOO has updated the License Conflicts and Resolutions section of their Knowledge Base and something interesting has surfaced. Before today, projects on CUUSOO that were based on Doctor Who themes may have been turned down or rejected due it having conflict with other companies who had the license to produce Doctor Who products such as Character Building. We can now report that LEGO CUUSOO now welcomes projects based on Doctor Who which probably means that Character Building does not have the license anymore. Does this also mean that we could maybe possibly see Doctor Who sets in the future? Who knows but at least people can now submit projects based on the very popular TV show and can hope that it will pass the review stage to become an official CUUSOO set!
