LEGO CUUSOO Jurassic Park Project by Senteosan Shelved

September 4, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

If you’re a LEGO creator and want to list any Jurassic Park projects on LEGO CUUSOO, don’t bother. Yesterday, Senteosan’s Jurassic Park project was archived after only 6,495 supporters and will not be considered for production. The reason? LEGO posted, “since another company has the construction toy license for this IP, we can’t pursue this further as a potential LEGO set.” Back in February of this year, Hasbro, which owns KRE-O, struck a licensing deal with Universal to produce merchandise for the movie franchise. Because of this deal, any Jurassic Park related projects/sets cannot be created by The LEGO Group and in turn anything that bears the JP mark on CUUSOO will be archived. However, Senteosan does have a separate project for his UCS-style Dinosaur series, Bricksauria and that isn’t Jurassic Park related so it’s still live. If you like the design of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, head over to Senteosan’s page and show your support.

Does this decision discourage creators to propose projects that are other companies’ IPs? No it doesn’t but just bear in mind that LEGO has the right to close down a project if it conflicts with a competitive building brick licensor, aka KRE-O/Mega Bloks. LEGO CUUSOO encourages people submit original ideas so there’s less of a chance that your project will conflict with another company’s license. Below is the official LEGO comment on their decision to close Senteosan’s project.

Decision on Our Ability to Produce this Project

First and foremost, congratulations on the well over 5,000 supporters for this project on

LEGO Masters of the Universe by Orion Pax

September 2, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Alex Jones, aka Orion Pax, continues to show off his creations of 80’s themes and he has finally completed his custom LEGO sets and minifigures based on the Masters of the Universe franchise. He has been working hard the past several months to create high quality sets and he was even invited to Grayskull Con 2013 to present the sets to the creator of the Masters of the Universe, Mark Taylor. As you can see below, Alex has also created a full-sized replica of He-Man’s Power Sword and Battle Axe. If you’ve been following Orion, you will know the quality level of his creations are unparalleled and as a kid from the 80’s, his creation gave me goosebumps. Head over to his site to check out high resolution images of all the minifigures as well as the sets and vehicles including Castle Grayskull.

LEGO CUUSOO The Road to Oz Achieves 10,000 Supporters

September 1, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The latest project to reach 10,000 supporter and the first project to reach the 2013 Fall Review stage is The Road to Oz by JeremiahKC. The project posted on July 15th and has quickly climbed up the ranks of supported projects, especially with the help of 1.8 million fans of The Wizard of Oz Facebook page. The project is the seventh project to hit 10,000 supporters in the quarter and now joins the Female Minifigure Set, the ATLAS Mini Model, FTL: Faster Than Light, the Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary project, and Poptropica: Dr. Hare’s Lair, TeeKay’s Ghostbusters for the Fall Review. The LEGO Jury will have a pretty hard time choosing the winner for this review stage with so many great projects hitting the goal. Maybe LEGO will set new a precedent of choosing multiple winners during the review stage? We shall see about that in a few months.

The Road to Oz features three vignettes from the 1939 movie. The first shows Dorothy meeting Scarecrow and Tinman for the first time. The second features Dorothy, Scarecrow, and Tinman running into the Wicked Witch of the West as well as meeting the Cowardly Lion. The last vignette shows everyone arriving at the Emerald City at the poppy fields. All three sections are able to attach to each other to create one long yellow brick road or side by side to create a wider road. This project also commemorates the 75th anniversary of the original The Wizard of Oz movie. JeremiahKC’s project … Continue
