LEGO CUUSOO Legend of Zelda Achieves 10000 Supporters

February 7, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

A day after the Andy the Android hit 10000 supporters on LEGO CUUSOO, the Legend of Zelda project by Ragaru follows suit. They join the exclusive club of projects that have achieved 10000 supporters and now qualify for the Spring Review by the LEGO Jury in March.

The first Legend of Zelda project by Mingles was rejected in the Summer Review due to LEGO having to make new parts. In this version, the set was created using mostly existing parts and colors. The set also will rely on printed/stickered pieces to create a close representation of the characters. We’ll see what LEGO thinks of this project later this year. Congratulations to Ragaru for hitting this great milestone!

The Land-Rover Defender 110 now becomes the highest supported project on CUUSOO. With about a month left until the March 4th deadline, it might also have a chance to reach the goal as well.

Congratulations on 10,000 Supporters, Ragaru!

Huge congratulations to Ragaru and all of the supporters of this LEGO® CUUSOO project. Your work provides another approach to the concept of a Legend of Zelda™ LEGO set and we admire that you have not allowed the results of the previous project to discourage your efforts.

While we cannot create new specific LEGO elements within the operational framework of LEGO CUUSOO, we will consider this concept in earnest in the Spring 2013 LEGO Review period.

What happens now?
This project moves from the Idea stage to the Review stage. A “LEGO Review Board” composed of designers, product managers,

January 27, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Flickr user, smokebelch, has created a model of what could be the new LEGO DC Universe Super Heroes Robin and Redbird Cycle (30166) polybag being released later this year. The build uses Brickset’s parts inventory which has been pulled from LEGO’s official replacements part page. Since there is no official images of the polybag yet, this is as close as we’re going to get until we see some real pictures from LEGO. What do you think of the Robin and Redbird Cycle model by smokebelch?

Everybody loves LEGO minifigures. Who doesn’t like minifigs? Above is an fun and interesting infographic of facts about the little guys created by Visual.ly and designed by Hot Butter Studio. The infographic even includes information about female minifigures including the Friends line. There are a bunch of statistics that you may not know about including the 18:1 ratio of male minifigures to female minifigures. Also, did you know that there are 122 million minifigures sold each year? That’s more than some populations of some of the larger populated countries in the world including Mexico, Germany, and the United Kingdom! The amount of them sold even comes close to the estimated population of Japan which has about 127 million people in the country. Click on the image above to see it better and let us know what you think about it.
