CUUSOO BRICK Launches Today

December 17, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

BrickLink has launched another platform for users to submit and share their MOCs that aren’t commercialized, CUUSOO BRICK. From what I’m reading, it is similar to what LEGO Ideas is about except for some little differences.

Users submit their MOCs and other users vote on it and if it gets 100 votes, a CUUSOO BRICK Award is given and it goes under review. Then CUUSOO BRICK will contact the original creator and asks if they would like the project to be distributed or provide building instructions. If the original creator approves, the project can be purchased on the BrickLink MOC Shop with building instructions and parts. Both the original creator and the user who recommended the MOC will get royalties based on the sales of the project. Read the official press release below:

BrickLink and CUUSOO Jointly Create a LEGO Publishing Platform

California, USA and Tokyo, Japan – December 17th, 2014 – BrickLink MOC Shop and CUUSOO teamed up to create a new platform that will publish custom LEGO models created by LEGO fans.

The collaboration to launch will lower the threshold for MOC production in efforts to increase user-generated LEGO creations available for consumers. Users will be able to discover new MOC projects on CUUSOO collected from anywhere on the Internet

LEGO Star Wars 2014 Advent Calendar (75056) – Day 16

December 16, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

We are now down to the single digits in the LEGO Star Wars 2014 Advent Calendar (75056). Will we still see the same trend that’s been happening throughout the calendar of a famous vehicle followed by their respective pilots?

LEGO Star Wars 2014 Advent Calendar (75056) – Day 15

December 15, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

We’re getting to the nitty gritty now on the LEGO Star Wars 2014 Advent Calendar (75056). Let’s see what we get today.

For Day 15, we’ve moved on from the Tatooine themed builds to Hoth with a Snowspeeder. This mini model has the distinct look with the shape, color, and laser cannons but there could also be some improvements on it. If you look at it from the back, you’ll definitely know what it is. However, the cockpit area looks a little off to me. Overall, the Snowspeeder is a good attempt as a mini model but could be improved on. I like it and hopefully we see more Hoth themed builds in the next few days as the trend seems to show.

LEGO Minecraft Minifigure Scales Sets Spotted at Toys R Us

December 15, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

If you follow our Facebook Page, you may have seen that we reported onsite in the wee hours of the morning that some of the new LEGO Minecraft minifigure scale sets are starting to show up at Toys R Us stores. As you can see from the image above, a box of each of The Ender Dragon (21117) and The Mine (21118) were sitting on the shelves. They were most likely brought out in the morning since I didn’t put them on the shelves the night before. We are getting a few more trucks coming in this week so there’s a chance that I’ll probably see more come in. If I do, I’ll let you guys know.
