If you’re new to LEGO CUUSOO and wondered how a particular project goes from the idea stage to an actual product, ReBrick has recently done an article with LEGO Group Head of Community Business/Busniess Manager Daiva Naldal to explain how the process goes. After a project gets 10,000 supporters, it heads to the LEGO Jury/Review Board which consists of people from different departments:
“It consists of different people who represent different departments within The LEGO Group, to make sure that we have a decent and proper evaluation of each idea. We have LEGO Designers and people from our main markets,- like Sales and Marketing people, who will then be responsible to validate the sales potential. We also have representatives from our Brand Management Team, securing that the projects fit our Brand guidelines. And we have a close relationship to License and Legal, as well as Product Development Teams. So we get insights from all teams in order to make the final decision.”
Daiva also explains that many projects aren’t selected to become actual products not because the designers don’t like it but the company has to look at different aspects to make a decision. One aspect is to get a licence from the original IP. You may have seen that there have been a lot of projects on CUUSOO that have reached the review stage that require a license to use the particular theme.

The LEGO Marvel Super Heroes video game Facebook page has been releasing cards for some of the characters in the game and have been asking fans to share the image 50 times to unlock subsequent ones. In total, there were 21 characters revealed and each card shows a short description of the character as well as their special abilities or attributes. Today, LEGO Marvel revealed their giveaway for the brick-built Hulk figure that Arthur Parsons has been bringing around to different panels. Simply “like” and comment what your favorite Hulk moment in the game was for you and you’re entered. Unfortunately, the contest for the Hulk is only for residents of the United Kingdom. One lucky winner will be randomly tomorrow.

Today, LEGO has revealed a couple of images from The LEGO Movie sets that are marked “2 in 1” which have alternate builds, the Ice Cream Machine (70804), Trash Chomper (70805), and Castle Cavalry (70806). Each set utilizes what LEGO is best at, building different things using the same bricks in the set and I must say that the alternate builds look pretty nice.
