LEGO CUUSOO Back to the Future – Marty’s Truck

August 30, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Team BTTF is back with another project for LEGO CUUSOO and this time it is the Back to the Future – Marty’s Truck. The project features the black 1985 Toyota Hilux that was first seen at Statler Toyota and later in Marty’s garage after the events of the first movie. The truck is 6 studs wide and is able to fit two minifigures: Marty McFly and Jennifer Parker. Marty has a Shah Safari white checkered shirt over a red t-shirt with suspenders and blue jeans. Jennifer wears a blue vest over a white shirt and has the pink flower pants. The build and minifigures were created by Sakuretu as usual. If you like what you see, head over to the project page on CUUSOO and give your support.

LEGO CUUSOO Ghostbusters Achieve 10000 Supporters

August 26, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

The Ghostbusters project by TeeKay has become the second project based on the film this month to reach 10000 supporters on LEGO CUUSOO. The project also becomes the 6th project to qualify for the 2013 Fall Review phase and joins the Female Minifigure Set, the ATLAS Mini Model, FTL: Faster Than Light, the Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary project, and Poptropica: Dr. Hare’s Lair for the Fall review.

TeeKay’s version of the project features Ecto-1 and the four Ghostbusters with accessories. Ghostbusters was started on January 12, 2012 and had been going steady but has been recently climbing up the ranks of supported projects on CUUSOO. This will also mark the first time that two projects with similar concept ideas will face off during the review stage joining Brent Waller’s Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary project. Both creators were respectful of each other’s projects and have even talked about combining the projects and splitting the royalties. LEGO CUUSOO Community Manager Tim Courtney also has chimed in:

This is a first for us – two very similar concepts based on an IP in one review batch. While we don’t know what the outcome will be in the review, we’re all really happy to see both of you showing such a collaborative and cooperative spirit throughout the process. You should be proud of your exemplary leadership in this creative community. Now, good luck on the home stretch, TeeKay!

There’s still a few more days before the Fall Review deadline and the Macross VF-1 Valkyrie also has a chance to … Continue

Turmoil and Drama on LEGO CUUSOO

August 21, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 23 Comments

As you may have read last week, I did a couple of posts here to help spread the news about BrickQueen’s Jurassic Park projects on LEGO CUUSOO, the Jungle Explorer T-Rex Encounter and the Triceratops Encounter. Besides the Jurassic Park projects, she also had a couple of Super Heroes sets that were doing pretty good as well such as her Killer Croc’s Lair project which was about to hit 5,000 supporters. Well I have some sad news to report. It appears that her account has been banned/suspended and all the projects were deleted and it wasn’t something she has done wrong. She has released a video (below) explaining what happened. It was stated in the video that another user recently posted another Jurassic Park project and has been flagging BrickQueen’s projects and also rallying his “supporters” to flag her projects as well.

We’ve had many projects that had the similar concepts and ideas going on simultaneously on CUUSOO before but we’ve never seen this happen. The video also goes on to explain that she has gotten personal messages from various individuals saying terrible things and it absolutely sickens me that people would go that far to ruin someone else’s hopes and dreams. You can hear the pain in her voice as she tries to explain the situation. The pain of something that you worked very hard on and it going down the drain by forces not of your control. We are all LEGO fans here, are we not? We’re here to support the creators and … Continue

LEGO CUUSOO Jurassic Park: Triceratops Encounter

August 16, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

The BrickQueen is back with another Jurassic Park project on LEGO CUUSOO. If you remember from yesterday, I did a post on her other JP project, the Jungle Explorer T-Rex Encounter which is quickly gaining supporters. Today, she has posted the Jurassic Park: Triceratops Encounter.

The set features the triceratops, a jeep, and the Dr. Alan Grant and Dr. Ellie Sattler minifigures. The triceratops in the project represents the dinosaur that got sick when it accidentally ate the poisonous West Indian Lilac berries.

The jeep is a replica of of JP 14 Jeep Wrangler Sahara. It is a gas-powered jeep that Dr. Gerry Harding uses to drive Ellie back to the visitor’s center. The jeep features a winch cable and a spare tire on a opening door and seats four minifigures.

If you like Jurassic Park, there’s no reason not to like this project as well.

LEGO CUUSOO Poptropica: Dr. Hare’s Lair Achieves 10000 Supporters

August 15, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The Poptropica: Dr. Hare’s Lair by PopCreators is the latest project to reached 10000 supporters on LEGO CUUSOO. If you’re not familiar with Poptropica, it is an online game created by Jeff Kinney, the author of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid book series, and most of it’s players are young children and younger teenagers. Players go to different islands and complete quests to earn credits to spend at the store. The CUUSOO project is based on the lair inside the Carrot Cake Factory that Dr. Hare set up on 24 Carrot Island. The project features the evil genius bunny in his laboratory with accessories that a villain usually has as well as the Giant Rabbot.

Poptropica: Dr. Hare’s Lair joins quite a few projects that qualify for the Fall 2013 Review stage including the Female Minifigure Set, the ATLAS Mini Model, FTL: Faster Than Light, and the Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary project. With Poptropica being the 5th project to qualify for the review, I believe the 2013 Fall Review will have the most projects to be reviewed in it’s history and it may have a few more projects joining before the end of the month. The Fall deadline still a few weeks away and the Macross VF-1 Valkyrie by maxvf1 and Teekay’s Ghostbusters projects have a decent shot in joining the list as well. Congratulations to PopCreators and to the other qualifiers for reaching the review stage!

Congratulations on 10,000 supporters, PopCreators!

August 15, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

Masashi Togami and Team BTTF have published their latest project on LEGO CUUSOO, the Back to the Future – Doc Brown’s GMC Value Van with Small DeLorean. This project recreates the scene in the original BTTF movie where Marty McFly meets up with Doc Brown at Twin Pines Mall and where Doc reveals the DeLorean Time Machine for the first time. The set consists of Doc’s multi-stop truck as well as a smaller 6-studded DeLorean that is able to fit inside the van. The minifigures included are Marty and Doc wearing their radiation suits and Einstein. Accessories include the video camera that Marty uses to record the whole event and plutonium for the DeLorean.

LEGO CUUSOO Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary Achieves 10000 Supporters

August 12, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 5 Comments

The LEGO CUUSOO Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary project by BrentWaller has achieved 10000 supporters and will now move on to the Fall 2013 review. The Ghostbusters movie will be celebrating it’s 30th anniversary in 2014 and the project will feature many elements of the movie including Ecto-1 and the main characters of Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, Egon Spengler and Winston Zeddemore as well as Slimer. The image does show the Firehouse but Brent doesn’t think that it will be included in the final product. With this achievement, Brent has become the second CUUSOO creator to have two or more projects to reach 10000 supporters with his Batmobile Tumbler Minifig Scale being the first project. mb_bricks was the first creator to do so. The Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary has been climbing the ranks of supporters the past few weeks and today has finally reached the ultimate goal of 10000 supporters. Congratulations to BrentWaller again for reaching the goal and if everything goes well, we’ll be seeing a Ghostbusters set in the near future and will be joining the Back to the Future DeLorean Time Machine (21103) as an official LEGO CUUSOO movie set.

Congratulations on 10,000 supporters, BrentWaller!
