LEGO Ghostbusters Minifigures Custom Arm Printing by NACM

May 26, 2014 /

If you are picking up the LEGO Ghostbusters Ecto-1 (21108) on June 1st or any time after, you’ll notice that the minifigures do not have the Ghostbusters logo on the arms like they do in the movies. This is where NACM – Not Another Custom Minifig comes in. They are selling custom arms for the minifigures with the Ghostbusters logo patch. Each pair of arms are pad printed on genuine LEGO parts so they’ll look like the real thing. There are four minifigures in the Ecto-1 set so you’ll need to purchase four pairs of arms if you want each character to have them.

I ordered four pairs in anticipation and it came out to €18.50 or $25.90 including shipping to California. I’m not sure if shipping is lesser if you’re on the other side of the country or if it’s a flat €6.50 shipping cost. If you’re a Ghostbusters fan, you’ll probably want the arms because the minifigures do look off without them. Brent Waller, the designer of the LEGO CUUSOO/Ideas set, approves of the arms and they look great (see below). You can purchase them here.

LEGO Ideas X-Men: X-Mansion Achieves 10,000 Supporters

May 21, 2014 /

For the second time in a month, a project by DarthKy, in collaboration with GlenBricker, has achieved 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. Last week, their Assault on Wayne Manor became the first project to hit 10k after the change from LEGO CUUSOO to LEGO Ideas and today their X-Men: X-Mansion became the third to do so.

Like the previous project, they have gone with a modular design that folds up to show all the different rooms of the X-Mansion such as Cerebro and The Danger Room. They have also proposed a plethora of characters, many of which have not seen the light as official minifigures such as Professor Xavier, Beast, and Gambit.

The project now reaches the second Review Stage of the year and DarthKy becomes the first creator to have two of their own projects in a single Review Stage whether it was LEGO CUUSOO or LEGO Ideas. DarthKy’s two projects joins the Invisible Hand so far with the deadline in September for more to join. The LEGO Lightsabers now become the highest supported project on LEGO Ideas.

LEGO Ideas Avengers Helicarrier

May 20, 2014 /

There are LEGO Ideas projects and there’s a LEGO Ideas project by Yo-Sub Joo. He has submitted a project based on the Avengers Helicarrier which consists of a whopping 22,694 elements. The design was done on LDD and it measures 272 x 144 studs (217 x 115 cm) (85.4 x 45.3 inches). Obviously the Helicarrier looks amazing with all the intricate details but we know that if it does somehow reach 10,000 supporters, it would most likely not pass the review stage. Now if there’s somebody who has the amount of pieces and the time to actually create something of this magnitude, that would be equally amazing.

LEGO Ideas Invisible Hand Achieves 10,000 Supporters

May 12, 2014 /

For the second day in a row, there is a project on LEGO Ideas that has hit 10,000 supporters. This time it is the Invisible Hand by LDiEgo. This project is one of the oldest projects on LEGO CUUSOO/Ideas and was submitted on December 15, 2011 which shows that some projects do stand the test of time although that premise will no longer work with the new guideline that states that projects only have one year to get the required amount of supporters.

This project is a great representation of General Grievous’ flagship from the beginning of Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. The proposed project has 2562 pieces and measures about 92.60cm x 20.70cm x 43cm. There are also many features including removing parts of the ship to reveal the interior. There are also a number of minifigures included but will probably get reduced if it becomes an official set. Finally, there is a UCS plaque with the details of the destroyer. Check out close-up images of the project on LDiEgo’s Brickshelf.

Congratulations to LDiEgo for this accomplishment and the Invisible Hand now joins the Assault on Wayne Manor in the second review stage. The X-Men: X-Mansion now becomes the highest supported project on LEGO Ideas.

LEGO Ideas Assault on Wayne Manor Achieves 10,000 Supporters

May 11, 2014 /

The Assault on Wayne Manor project by DarthKy is the latest project to achieve 10,000 suupporters on LEGO Ideas. This is also the first project to hit 10k after the change from LEGO CUUSOO to LEGO Ideas. In a another first, the project is the first one to reach the second Review Stage.

The Assault on Wayne Manor is a modular set filled with play features as well as a bunch of minifigures, many of which we haven’t seen as an official minifigure yet. The project is one of the largest sets to reach the Review Stage but this is also a proposal. LEGO has the rights to change it to fit their business model as they see fit. We haven’t seen a LEGO CUUSOO/Ideas set that costs more than $49.99 but this one certainly will if it passes the review. Only time will tell if we get something this big as a LEGO Ideas product in the future. This year also marks the 75th Anniversary of Batman so this is some good timing. Will this timing factor in the decision to actually producing this set? Again, only time will tell.

Congratulations to Darthky but we may be seeing this creator again since they have another project that will most likely hit 10k some time in the near future, the X-Men: X-Mansion. If that project also reaches 10k, DarthKy will then be the first creator to have two of their own projects in a single Review Stage going up against each other. The Invisible Hand… Continue

More LEGO Ideas Migration Details

May 9, 2014 /

Tim Courtney has updated the LEGO Ideas blog with more migration details when LEGO CUUSOO moved to LEGO Ideas. He has included some cool facts and statistics of the amount of data that was moved to LEGO Ideas. In the three years that CUUSOO was active, there was about 6.3GB of data and about 400,000 images that needed to be migrated over. Tim also provided the following stats:

578,668 User Profiles
283,008 Avatars
60,173 Projects (including drafts)
227,768 Comments
283,903 Comment “Likes”
1,438,537 Supports for Projects

The post also answered some common questions that people had of the changes to LEGO Ideas. Since websites are always evolving, LEGO Ideas is built using a responsive design which means that the site will resize automatically whether you’re on desktop, tablet, or mobile phone.

As we mentioned before, projects now have a year to reach 10,000 supporters. This is to, as Tim states, “create urgency, enthusiasm, and raise the bar to be considered as a potential LEGO product.” This point of emphasis encourages people to reach out to others to help promote their project.

A big change to LEGO Ideas is that projects can no longer be edited, only updated. Before on CUUSOO, you could edit the project endlessly and sometimes to the point where the end project would be totally different from the original idea. The project also kept all the supporters so it made the original supporters confused on which project they were supporting.
