LEGO CUUSOO The Big Bang Theory Achieves 10,000 Supporters

March 16, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Are you a fan of The Big Bang Theory? If so, then you guys may be getting an official LEGO set in the near future. The reason is because The Big Bang Theory collaborative project by Alatariel and GlenBricker has achieved 10,000 supporters on LEGO CUUSOO. If Alatariel’s name sounds familiar, that is because they are the same person who created the Female Minifigure Set which also hit 10,000 supporters back in last June. That project is still being evaluated.

The BBT project represents Sheldon Cooper and Leonard Hofstadter’s living room and also includes the whole gang including Howard, Bernadette, Amy, Penny, and Rajesh with Cinnamon. The living room has various details such as the Green Lantern’s lantern, the Rubik’s cube tissue box, a model of DNA, and a mini LEGO Death Star. The reason that this project has achieved the number of supporters needed is the fan base and because it’s been blogged by a number of high profile sites. Even the official Twitter account of The Big Bang Theory has tweeted about the project.

It now joins the LEGO Bird Project, the Modular Apple Store, the BTTF – Jules Verne Train, as well as the Doctor Who project, which hit 10k two days ago, in the first review stage in early May. Congratulations to Alatariel and GlenBricker for this achievement and it looks to be a very intereesting review in a few months. Believe in magic, you muggles!

Congratulations on 10,000 supporters, Alatariel and GlenBricker!

LEGO Seasonal Easter Bunny (40086) Review

March 14, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Spring is only a week away that that means Easter is also almost here. Much like LEGO acknowledging Valentine’s Day with the Teddy Bear (40085), they have released a Seasonal Easter Bunny (40086) as well. This set has 106 pieces and also retails for $9.99.

The build of the Easter Bunny is pretty straight-forward. It is built from the bottom up and there are no real surprises. It has similar arms as the Teddy Bear for it to hold the brick-built carrot. Unlike the bear, the legs do not move at all. The only articulation it has is the arms and the ears.

Results

The Easter Bunny isn’t as cute as the Valentine’s Bear but it’s a neat little set. Plus they go well next to each other. It is now available at LEGO Brand Stores as well as on Shop@Home for a limited time. If you do not know, LEGO only sells these types of sets only a few times in a year to match the season. Once the time has passed, you probably can only find them on the secondary market. So if you’re liking the Easter Bunny, don’t hesitate to pick it up pretty soon.

The LEGO Minecraft Facebook Page has revealed an image of the newest Microworld set in the line, The End (21107). The set contains two levels of tan pieces which represent the End Stone. There are also some Obsidian pillars on the top level as well as the brick-built Ender Dragon. On the bottom level are a few of the neutral humanoid mobs called Endermen.

LEGO CUUSOO Doctor Who Achieves 10,000 Supporters

March 13, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The Doctor Who project by GlenBricker and Kaminoan is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO CUUSOO. It’s only been a little over two weeks since LEGO announced that they started accepting Doctor Who theme projects on the site and this project just shot up in the number of supporters.

The project suggests 5 minifigures, K-9, and 3 brick-built Daleks. The set itself would consist of the TARDIS Police Box and the TARDIS Console. Keep in mind that LEGO has given a warning to prioritize the minifigures or they have the liberty to choose from a list of suggested options. No doubt the demand for an official LEGO Doctor Who set is there. Now we just have to wait for the first review period to see if it passes LEGO’s criteria of becoming an official set.

It joins the LEGO Bird Project, the Modular Apple Store, and the BTTF – Jules Verne Train so far as the sets in the running during the first review stage. In a fast-moving surprise, The Big Bang Theory now becomes the highest supported project on CUUSOO. The official LEGO comments will be posted as soon as they become available.

Congratulations on 10,000 supporters, GlenBricker and Kaminoan!

The LEGO Movie Master Builder’s Submarine MOC by Imagine Rigney

March 12, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

"We Can Make a Bat-submarine… (Patent Pending)": LEGO Movie Submarine Side View

Last month, we reported on an image that surfaced of the Master Builder’s Submarine that was created by various characters in The LEGO Movie. The digital design was created by Grant Freckelton and his team using LEGO Digital Designer. In the movie, six characters worked together to create it. In the real world, it took one person to make it and he goes by the name of Imagine Rigney on Flickr. He has recreated the submarine with great accuracy. The sub is only a part of his bigger models as you can see from the images below. The sub is a cutaway design in which the characters witness the fall of Unikitty’s Cloud Cuckoo Land. He notes that while building the model, he found out that many of the elements used in the digital image didn’t exist in some of the colors or no longer exists. A very awesome MOC by Imagine Rigney and truly a representation of The LEGO Movie’s message.
