The Land Rover Defender 110 by Sheepo is the latest project to hit 10000 supporters on LEGO CUUSOO. It now qualifies to be included in the Spring Review joining the Exo Suit, the Andy/Bugdroid the Android, and the Legend of Zelda. The Defender 110 was listed on CUUSOO on May 14, 2012 but that shows persistence does pay off in the end.

The deadline for the project to reach the required number of supporters to make it to the review stage would’ve been March 4th but it got some extra support from Land Rover USA and their social media team. I sent a tweet to them to see if they could do something to rally some support and they happily obliged by sending a tweet about the project to their 85k+ followers. They went even further to post to their Facebook Page as well to gather support from their fans. In terms of social media, Land Rover was a really good sport to help out.

The Batmobile Tumbler Minifig Scale build by BrentWaller now becomes the most supported project on CUUSOO. Congratulations to Sheepo for this achievement! See below for the official comments:
