LEGO CUUSOO Andy/Bugdroid the Android Achieves 10000 Supporters

The Andy/Bugdroid the Android by Google on by GLHTurbo has achieved the 10000 supporters needed on LEGO CUUSOO to be reviewed by the LEGO Jury. If you’ve used an Android smartphone, you’ve may have seen this little guy on your phone before. As I said before, I would love for this set to see the light of production. The project now qualifies for the Spring Review. The Legend of Zelda project now becomes the highest supported project on CUUSOO. The deadline for the Spring Review is March 4th so there may be a couple more sets joining the Bugdroid in Spring Review. Congratulations to GLHTurbo for this great achievement. Read the official LEGO comment below:

Congratulations on 10,000 Supporters, GLHTurbo!

2013.02.07

Congratulations to GLHTurbo and all of the supporters of this LEGO® CUUSOO project. Google™ Android™ fans have spoken. We’ve heard loud and clear that you want to be able to make your own Andy out of LEGO bricks. So, we’ll get to work considering the possibility!

Congratulations on achieving 10,000 supporters. 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, including playability, safety, and fit with the LEGO brand. Every LEGO product goes through a process like this and must

LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Alternate Build Instructions

LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Minisite

Thanks to Rich over at Brick Fanatics, we now have instructions for the alternate builds of the LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sets. These alternate builds were on the Turtles minisite but the link to them has been broken for a while now and I couldn’t find the instructions anywhere. LEGO is currently trying to resolve that. Fortunately, Kevin Hinkle has provided LEGO Ambassadors some PDFs of said builds. The only Turtle set missing from the list is the Turtle Lair Attack (79103).

  • Kraang Lab Escape (79100)
  • Shredder’s Dragon Bike (79101)
  • Stealth Shell in Pursuit (79102)
  • The Shellraiser Street Chase (79104)
  • Baxter Robot Rampage (79105)

Since I’ve already finished reviewing all the regular sets, I’ll turn my attention to these new builds in the near future and have them reviewed as well. You can download the PDFs here.

The estimated release date for the game is October 31, 2013.

Is anyone excited for the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Video Game as I am?

LEGO Star Wars The Yoda Chronicles The Rancor Pit Episode 1

Apparently, The Yoda Chronicles isn’t a continuing storyline but a series of short stories split into a few episodes. The Umbara story seemingly has finished up last week, and this week we start the Rancor Pit story.

In the beginning, you can see Luke’s X-wing in front of Jabba’s Palace. Inside, Luke is trying to rescue Han Solo, who is still in carbonite, from Jabba the Hutt. Jabba springs the trap and Luke as well as the Gamorrean guard fall into the Rancor pit. They hear a loud roar coming from the direction of the gate and see Malakili coming out with a drumstick. He lures the Rancor to Luke and the Gamorrean. Luke force builds a trap door to hide from the Rancor. The beast grabs the Gamorrean and is about it eat him. C-3P0 panics and accidentally knocks slave Princess Leia into the pit too but she is still hanging on the chain. The Rancor roars at her and the story will continue next week.

One thing I noticed is the design of the Slave Leia minifigure. As you can see below, she has an updated bikini that is colored green. Her skirt also seem to have a bit more detail as well. The hair piece also is different from the Leia in the 2006 version of Jabba’s Sail Barge (6210). You can see the previous version of Leia here. Could the Leia we saw in the video be the redesigned version in the new Jabba’s Sail Barge (75020)?

Also, although this … Continue
