LEGO CUUSOO Star Wars Dark Bucket Achieves 10000 Supporters

The Star Wars Dark Bucket has achieved 10000 supporters on LEGO CUUSOO for it to be reviewed and considered to be made into an official LEGO set. At first the project started off with Darth Vader and an army of 99 Stormtroopers. LEGO made a comment on Haru’s message on 5000 votes that “it will not be possible to release a set consisting solely of minifigures.” LEGO also adds, “if the Dark Bucket concept were to go further, it would need to include some significant brick-based model component to be considered a construction toy for licensing purposes.”

The project was revised and called the Star Wars Dark Bottle which consists of a Darth Vader minifigure and 16 Stormtroopers as well as brick pieces for the minifigures and to spell out the Star Wars logo. The project will now be reviewed in the September session. We can only hope for more Stormtroopers to add to our battalion. Congratulations to Haru for this accomplishment.

LEGO CUUSOO Themed Brick Box

Have you ever took pieces from a completed set to finish a MOC? If so, then this project is worth supporting. Chris Ciafardini aka Odd.Robot has come up with the idea of Themed Brick Boxes on LEGO CUUSOO. The premise is simple. LEGO bricks that have already been manufactured are put into their particular themed tubs for builders to expand their models. Below is a description of the project:

Themed Brick Boxes would work the same way as the generic brick boxes that currently exist. The difference would lie in the unique pieces commonly found within a series, including colored bricks that fit the brand colors of the series.

This concept utilizes the licenses LEGO currently has and would only repurpose the bricks/pieces and containers that the company currently produces. Each new series can utilize this type of product.

This isn’t necessarily a brand new concept or a plea to begin a new LEGO series based on my favorite video game, movie, or cartoon franchise. This is however a solution to an issue I myself and others have come across while purchasing and playing with LEGO products.

LEGO CUUSOO Château d’Arbre Needs Our Support

A reader by the name of Matthew Copeland has asked me to review his project on LEGO CUUSOO. He has created Château d’Arbre, a castle build with a very unique design and he needs our help for it to reach 10000 supporters. From what I can see, I really like the design of it because of the fantasy/fairy tale theme of the castle. What’s neat about it is that it is a fairly small build but filled with detailing, for example, the balcony, turrets, and the patched roof tiles. Below is the description of the Château d’Arbre from Matthew and don’t forget to support and comment on his project on LEGO CUUSOO.

The scene is from Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith where Jedi Master Mace Windu confronts Palpatine after he finds out that Palpatine was actually the Sith Lord they were after. This is also where Anakin Skywalker turns to the Dark Side when he slices off Windu’s hand and Palpatine shoots him out the window.

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 7 – Tennis Ace

The Tennis Ace is one of the more simple minifigures in Series 7. He has a white outfit and also a white bandana that only covers the front part of the face. He has a single sided face with an angry, determined expression. The spiky, blonde hair makes him stand out. His accessory includes a blue tennis racket. To feel for this minifig, the racket is a dead giveaway.
