Future LEGO CUUSOO Projects by Team BTTF

March 11, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

With the success of the DeLorean Time Machine project on LEGO CUUSOO, the recently submitted Jules Verne Train, which was the top supported project last week, and some other ongoing projects, Team BTTF have been on a roll lately. This morning, I received an email from Masashi Togami and Team BTTF has some exciting news to bring you. Starting next month, they will be continuing releasing more LEGO sets from the Back to the Future series and will be publishing new projects on CUUSOO for four consecutive months. We’re predicting that the DeLorean Time Machine will be a huge hit, not just from LEGO fans but Back to the Future fans as well. If the future projects are also successfully supported and pass the review stages, we could potentially have a whole line of BTTF sets to display. We’re definitely looking forward to seeing what these future sets look like from Team BTTF!

April 2013: “Marty’s Toyota Pick-up”
May 2013: “Doc’s Big Truck with radiation suits on Marty and Doc”
June 2013: “Griff’s Future Vehicle”
July 2013: “Locomotive 131”

LEGO CUUSOO Interview With Team BTTF

February 21, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO CUUSOO has recently interviewed Team BTTF to learn more about the creators of the LEGO DeLorean Time Machine, Masashi Togami and Sakuretsu. As you may have already know, the DeLorean was the set chosen by CUUSOO in the Summer Review to be the next set that will be produced by LEGO. Also, the 1% royalties that Masashi gets from the sale of the sets will all be donated to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, which is pretty awesome in it’s own right.

The purpose of Team BTTF was to reintroduce the movies to a newer generation of fans using LEGO. Each member of the team had different roles with Masashi taking the lead with product concepts and the press relations. Sakuretsu handles the model building and the custom minifigures. Legohaulic was also involved in building the UCS Time Machine.

The interview was very insightful on how the concept of the DeLorean as a LEGO set came from a sketch to becoming a reality. Read the whole interview on the LEGO CUUSOO blog here.

LEGO CUUSOO Summer Review Updates

October 25, 2012 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO has given a little teaser on their blog on the statuses for the LEGO CUUSOO projects that reached 10000 supporters earlier in the year which includes: Eve Online Ships – Rifter, Back To The Future DeLorean Time Machine, The Legend of Zelda, and the Modular Western Town.

The LEGO Review board is still working on some of the final details of the Summer Review, which must be complete before we are able to announce any of the results. Projects in each quarterly review happen in batches, so we announce the results for each project at the same time. We’re sorry that we cannot yet commit to a date where we will share the news.

The Fall reviews have now started and The LEGO Jury will take a look at the most recent CUUSOO projects which have also achieved 10000 supporters. These sets include Thinking With Portals, the UCS Sandcrawler, and the Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity.

LEGO CUUSOO Back to the Future – DeLorean Time Machine Achieved!!

April 28, 2012 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

On April 28, 2012, The Back to the Future – DeLorean Time Machine set by Masashi Togami has achieved the 10,000 supporters needed for LEGO to consider it to be released as a commercial set. We here at The Brick Fan like to congratulate Masashi on a job well done! The set was put on LEGO CUUSOO on August 1, 2011 but patience has paid off. There’s still an issue with the licensing but I’m not surprised if The LEGO Group already has something set up already. Hopefully we’ll get to see this set in production in the near future. Below is the official LEGO CUUSOO statement.

Congrats on 10,000 Supporters, m.togami!

2012.04.29
Slow and steady wins the race. You came out in front early on with the DeLorean model and you have done it thanks to hard work and persistence. The awesome LEGO model didn’t hurt, either. Congratulations!

As we’re approaching the 30th anniversary of Back to the Future, this project could not have come at a better time. Congratulations on achieving 10,000 supporters. We now officially advance this project to the Review phase.

What happens now?
This project moves from the Idea stage to the Review stage. A “LEGO Jury” composed of designers, product managers, and other key team members will examine the idea. We’ll build concept models and determine if the concept meets our high standards for what it takes to be a LEGO product, including playability, safety, and fit with the LEGO brand. Every LEGO product goes through a process like this … Continue
