LEGO CUUSOO Purdue Pete Achieves 10000 Supporters

October 25, 2012 / / 0 Comments

In less than 36 hours (35 hours and change), the Purdue Pete project by Sandra San Miguel, SanDSanM, on LEGO CUUSOO has achieved 10000 supporters to be considered to be an official LEGO set. With extensive campaigning by Purdue students, faculty, and staff, the number of supporters quickly rose. If I’m not mistaken, I believe that Purdue Pete is the fastest LEGO CUUSOO set to gain 10000 supporters, even beating out the LEGO Minecraft set which took 48 hours to gain that amount of supporters.

Just some quick info on the set, Purdue Pete is 16 inches tall about took about 900 bricks to create. The Boilermaker icon is the first college/university related set to hit the magical number of supporters which is a little different from the other sets that have already achieved consideration and under review. The set will now go to the review stage during the Winter Review quarter. If Purdue Pete becomes an official LEGO set, Sandra will get 1 percent of all the sales and the proceeds will be donated to the PVM Bound scholarship fund, according to the Purdue News Service. Congratulations to Sandra and Purdue University for reaching this great achievement! Below is the official comment from LEGO:

Congratulations on 10,000 Supporters, SanDSanM!

Boiler up! Wow, did the supporters for this project ever roll in quickly. You’ve made a very nice sculpture of Purdue Pete, and as your fellow classmates and alumni have shown, it looks like he’d would find a nice home on quite a number

LEGO CUUSOO Summer Review Updates

October 25, 2012 / / 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 The Amazing Spider-Man

August 22, 2012 / / 0 Comments

If you’ve seen Michael McCooey’s, aka mmccooey, work before, you’ve probably seen his MOCs of the poseable Batman and Deadpool figures. He has now created The Amazing Spider-man figure and needs your help to reach 10000 supporters on LEGO CUUSOO. Spider-Man is more flexible and agile than Batman and Deadpool so changes were needed:

NEW AND IMPROVED

-He has a ball joint at the base of the neck as well as pivot joint at the base of the skull, allowing him to look all the way down and over his shoulders when contorted.

-A mid-torso joint that allows him to bend his spine forward and back, it also rotates from left to right, like the waist joint.

-His elbows and knees are double jointed, which allows free range of movement and the ability to fully crouch his legs.

-The hips can now allow the legs up and over the wasteline allowing for those very spider-like poses.

-His ankles have a second pivot joint for extra steep ankle poses, as well of full range of motion in the main joint.

-His feet have an articulated toe piece to make those perching poses more natural.

Licensing probably won’t be an issue since there are Spider-man sets coming out next year but that’s a separate issue. This is an amazing figure and I would totally support the project on LEGO CUUSOO and hope you can show your support too!

LEGO CUUSOO UCS Sandcrawler Achieves 10000 Supporters

August 12, 2012 / / 1 Comment

mb_bricks is now two for two in the LEGO CUUSOO community for projects achieving 10000 supporters. If you may remember, the Modular Western Town also accomplished this feat in May 2012. After many months of planning and building and almost a year of being on LEGO CUUSOO, the UCS Sandcrawler is the latest project to hit 10000 supporters. It will now move on to the next stage and the LEGO Jury review it in September. LEGO will now have to create a concept model and hopefully will not change it that much from the original model. One note is that LEGO does already have a licensing agreement with Lucasfilms so that won’t be much of an issue. We’ll have to see how many pieces will be needed to build the Sandcrawler and the cost of it. Maybe it can compete with the Taj Mahal (10189) to see which set can have the most pieces.
