alright! all minifigs are gone. thanks everybody
I don't see why you need to do that. Cuusoo has had several Zelda submissions.
Sorry, no! That's fucking INSANE! forget that mess.
You built it, you earn your votes for your creation!!!
To hell with that nonsense!
Edit: sorry for yelling, but that shit hit a nerve!

Agree, f that shit.
Thank you!
EditAdd: I wonder what their response will be..... .....hopefully you will have enlightened them to the folly of their ways, but somehow I doubt it. Hope I'm wrong though.

Don't do that man, your Ecto-1 is way better, plus your figs are way better. Once people find yours I'm pretty sure it will reach 10k faster than the other one.edit: Boss reply, well done.

try it, is there a gostbusters OT?
Not to my knowledge.
I took a photo of my daughter playing with the Ghostbusters this morning, I had to tell her what the ghostbusters do but after that she went around "zapping" all the ghosts, frogs, bats and people from the haunted house into "jail" (behind the fence)

Nice... it's obvious just HOW compatible the Ghostbusters are with the MF theme (especially the ghosts) yet it hadn't occurred to me
To be fair, so far LEGO have seen it as a platform for ideas. The first three sets have been complete redesigns (and were actually quite bad in CUUSOO form to be honest) and I'm sure that the Delorean will come out looking completely different as well.
How you make it look is a marketing tool for getting votes, not how LEGO are going to make it look.
Having said that, I think how you make it look is an extremely important tool in making people visualize how it can be if LEGO will actually make one and it was hardly an original idea when the other guy made it. Yours definitely deserves the votes.
This is why I'm afraid the Tumbler will fail though. LEGO have already got one, even though it's not even on the same level.

After seeing that Haunted House set again, I so want an original Maniac Mansion set :/
Wasn't in the market for one, but thanks for the link anyhow. Just thought it was both funny and sad. They really should put plastic wrap around these books to prevent people from stealing 90% of the product.
Even those DK books with the minifigure are easy to get at.

Exactly right. That admin must have ulterior motives to try to get your to "merge".

Hell yes-supported. Love the design you settled on.
I've been tweaking it slightly, I added slimer and fixed some dodgy photoshopping I did at 1 in the morning last night. I also made the bottom of their legs black based on someone suggestion.

Have to say, not a fan of the black shoe prints. Also a bit indifferent about that Slimer ^^

I don't see anything wrong with making a thread for it. Better then some of those indiegogo threads you see around here.

Fuck that. Your build is way better. I hope you destroy the other one just because of these comments now.

Awesome model. I would try to vote. Also, great work and definitely stick to your own. Great reply to the forum mod ( or whoever it was) - tasteful but to the point.
Anyway, I thought it was awesome your daughter was playing with them, and was just wondering if she has seen the movie because of your toy?
This should be in the OP.. at the top!

Should have its own thread IMO. It is that good.
supported! just seen the other Ghostbusters projects and they're atrocious!

Just came home from the HFR version of The Hobbit, and fighting the urge to go off and buy all the minifigs. It seems such a waste to me, when they'll probably get new versions along the next movies.
Also a bit annoying that Bricklink lists them without weapons, so I'd have to track them down separately. With the cost of some figures, I might as well buy the sets themselves.

I don't see why it would hurt! Just announce that you just put a new creation up on Cuusoo, and that if anyone likes it that you would be GREATLY Obliged if they would vote it up on Cuusoo!
It's not a massive UCS, but it might actually be feasible that it could be produced:
Minas Tirith on CUUSOO
Minas Tirith on CUUSOO
Thanks for the Iron Man 3 links! I ordered the 2 cheaper ones
Here's a great TMNT MOC. Bottom part still a WIP. Gallery has a few more finished shots

Yours is by far the best looking Ghostubusters set on there. Best of luck. I will most definitely buy it if it gets approved.black "shoes" make sense because that's what I remember them wearing: black boots.
I love everything so far but what's up with Slimer's design? :/
No she hasn't seen it, she's only 3 and a half and I think she's be too scared, she woke up in the middle of the night crying after having a nightmare about the little mermaid haha
It's a prexisting minifig (star wars rotta the hutt). One of the restrictions of cuusoo is that you can't make new moulds\pieces (which I've already broken with venkmans hair)
So I can basically have that or nothing
That makes sense. I thought that because you created Venkman's hair that you would create a custom Slimer too...
edit: If your roof magically came off, would there be enough room width-wise for 2 minifigs to sit side by side?
I think the custom hair is probably an easier sell to LEGO than a custom Slimer, they can use that hair piece again in other sets or with other minifigs whereas a Slimer isn't going to end up in other sets, unless they do lots of Ghostbusters ones. Speaking of which seeing this set has got me wanting a LEGO Ghostbusters game now.That makes sense. I thought that because you created Venkman's hair that you would create a custom Slimer too...

So what's the consensus on the Chima line? How fun are the builds? The models and the minifigs look quite cool so I'm tempted, and it's a plus to be able to start with the first wave.
What about the card game?

Finished Palace Cinema. I agree that the build of those early sections wasn't spectacular - but it is a handsome set.
Yes, I am actually spoiler-tagging this next bit as the set has officially only been out two days...
I got a bit worried when

I got a bit worried when
building the 'Palace' sign - the whole sign structure was leaning to one side after constructing the letters and when applying the vertical blue plates. I even stopped and rearranged the bricks ad-hoc to fix it, thinking I had some bent plates. But that didn't work/I didn't have enough spares, so I forged on, and then it turned out there were plates to add specifically to stop this. Felt a bit strange, like a cheat on LEGO's behalf. If I was a Eurobricks nut I'd say that the bricks must be twisted, and they would never cheat like this, etc etc. But I think it *is* a shortcut. Not sure what to make of that, really. You do think better of LEGO and assume this stuff wouldn't happen.

I'm not following. They made a structure stable using other bricks. How on earth could using legos to build a lego building feel like cheating?

Yea, I have no idea what you are talk about? Elaborate?
Basically, my point is that the bricks don't naturally sit right during one part of the build. Unlike the images in the instructions, there are unsightly gaps and the whole thing is twisted. But then, a few steps later, once some other pieces have applied, it's all tidy. Yet it's only because they are locked down. In 100s of LEGO sets since I was seven, I've never really seen anything like it.
