LEGO Ideas Exo Suit (21109) Launch Event in UK on July 26th

The English version of the European July/August 2014 Store Calendar is now available which has some of the same offers we reported earlier this week. This particular version looks like it is the UK version and there’s one additional thing on the list of events that is worth mentioning. That event is the meet-and-greet with Peter Reid, the creator of the LEGO Ideas Exo Suit (21109), at the Bluewater LEGO Store on July 26th from 12-4pm. There’s no mentioning whether if the Exo Suit will be available for purchase during the event or not but we do know that it will be available for us in the States in August with an estimated retail price of $34.99. The above image was linked on our Facebook Page by a fan confirming the launch event.

LEGO CUUSOO Exo Suit Logo and Release Date Revealed

LEGO CUUSOO Exo Suit Logo

Back in January of last year the Exo Suit project by Peter Reid on LEGO CUUSOO hit 10,000 supporters and after the review stage, it was announced in October that it would become an official LEGO set. The LEGO designers have been hard at work and today, they have revealed the logo for the set as well as the release date of August 2014 courtesy of New Elementary. The AFOL team that was assembled to help plan and market the set along with LEGO employees consists of Peter Reid, Tim Goddard, Andrew Hamilton, Jeremy Williams, Drew Maughan, Tim Johnson, Julie Greig, Yvonne Doyle, and Ian Greig.

The team went on a two day workshop in Stansted, UK back in January and March to discuss how the set would be presented. Andrew Hamilton has built a model of what the meetings looked like below. Read more on what happened during the meetings over on New Elementary. I can’t wait to see the final product in the next few months!

LEGO CUUSOO Exo Suit Achieves 10000 Supporters

On March 28, 2012, Peter Reid posted his Exo Suit project on LEGO CUUSOO. Today, the project has achieved enough votes to be considered by the LEGO Jury to become an official LEGO set. The Exo Suit is Peter’s most popular MOC and has been featured on page 251 in The LEGO Book. It may have taken a while to get the supporters but it was well worth the wait. Now the project is now eligible to go to the Spring Review stage on March 4th. Congratulations to Peter for this amazing accomplishment!

The Andy/Bugdroid the Android by Google project by GLHTurbo now becomes the highest supported project on LEGO CUUSOO. Read the official LEGO statement below:

Congratulations on 10,000 Supporters, PeterReid!

2013.01.09

Again, beautiful model and well-deserved success! It’s great to see a model that carries the essence of classic LEGO Space forward to the “present day” of building qualify for review.

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 Review Board” 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. This includes factors such as playability, safety, and fit with the LEGO brand. Every potential LEGO product goes through a process like this and must meet the same standards.
