Guess who!
Another Dr. Who Cuusoo project is close to reaching 10k! Wasn't it only a month ago Cuusoo started accepting Dr. Who projects again?
This should send the message to LEGO that Dr. Who is now known around the world and has a decent sized audience to sell the theme.
8598 votes as of now.

Cyberman can't be made due to new mould piece. Or is that just a bucket handle piece on top of the head? Looks great, but without a proper connection LEGO can't use it that way.
This project is very cool and I like how it's a great display piece and playset.

Did you try with Amazon.es ?
It's even cheaper than .fr....

Oh, I was just checking pricing of current sets. I have plenty of The LEGO Movie minifigures.
I only want a box of the Simpsons CMFs. 2 maybe. O_OOh, I was just checking pricing of current sets. I have plenty of The LEGO Movie minifigures.
Oh okay, my bad. I hope for you it will work with the Simpsons CMFs
I just spent about 5 minutes trying to find a pic on bricklink but I can't find them, not sure what they're called but they're those 2x2 bricks with technic axle hole through the middle, one with the ball joint and one with the socket joint.
So far this has been the most difficult MOC I've worked on, all the curves are difficult to achieve on all 4 sides and still make stable. Once I've nailed down the torso shape I'll likely have to pull it apart and rebuild it so it's stronger. I've already done the head from ages back (probably over a year ago)
The mouth is just photoshopped on for now to test...
I think I'll try and change the hat a bit too and try and get rid of that gap somehow between the head and hat. The most difficult part I reckon will be the arms, maintaining the curves on a smaller scale is gonna be tricky.
You should try those Mixels eyes, they are printed and are more luminous than the stickers
I'm in, i've got seven of this little fellas

Now every male Lego minifigure can have the "appendage" as well! Oh the possibilities. haha

Looks way better than the other Doctor Who project. Backed, even though I don't watch the show.
JANG's Flashback Friday for March 28th:
6929 Star Fleet Voyager (1981)

I recall that my cousin had this set, and I was sooooo jealous! Much time spent looking at this ship in the LEGO catalog.
JANG has also been posting other classic (both from Classic Space and the more recent World City) videos all week long.

I do hope it passes because it would prove that LEGO should consider Doctor Who due to its popularity, but didn't they say due to the Ghostbuster sets, that only the first one that makes it to 10K supporters will be considered.

Backed this one so we'll see what happens. Incidentally, it's actually the Cyberman minifig render that I like most, though I like the rest of the sets/minifigs as well.
I missed out on the Galaxy Explorer, but I had this one. It was a lot of fun, but I had a hard time coming up with alternate uses for those thin angled tail pieces.

This is one of the ones I've got. I was always jealous of Galaxy Explorer but this one was terrific. Still though....I can't help but feel the nose piece is a bit funny.
This one is still in a case somewhere in my mom's appartment. The memories ! I need to get all those old parts back to my place sometime.
does anybody know where I can order a display box?
I´m in germany.
I really want the whole set and I would sell the other ones.

Through a series of unfortunate circumstance, my backpack that I had my lego hedgehog keychain was stolen on Wednesday night.
I tried looking on the lego website and didn't see the keychain anymore. Can someone tell me if it's been retired or just available in-store? I won't be able to go to my local store until probably Sunday so if anyone can let me know, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.

This one? http://brickset.com/sets/850800-1
According to Brickset the US shop had it until December. You could get one through BrickLink I suppose.

Yep, that's it all right. Guess I'll have to resort to online if they were last in stock in the US in December (which is when I bought it lol).
Thanks.
Amazon.fr is one of the places that will sell you a complete box. I've ordered previous CMF series from them.

That is true, but these are different enough IMO. Both Ghostbusters were the car and Ghostbuster minifigs. We'll see what the ruling is because I like this 2nd Dr. Who project better. Both have the TARDIS, but it opening up and the design are different. I think this will be another first for Cuusoo to make a decision on.
I'll take a look at my local LEGO store to see if they still have them.

Awesome and thanks.
If you can find it it's on clearance for like $1.50. The store here had them on sale since around Black Friday. It was only until a week or two ago that they finally sold out.

Cool, thanks for the heads-up. I'm hoping that there are some at my local store, but those were strangely popular so it's a toss-up right now.

I'm thinking that the TC-4 poly will be offered as a monthly promo later this year, like the clonetrooper lieutenant was last year.
Anyone else think that LEGO should pick up the Peanuts license?
I really, really would love a Peanuts CMF series, or at least a few sets
With the movie coming it would be fantastic.
Redeco of the Sopwith Camel but with Snoopy. Snoopy Dog House. Great Pumpkin Patch set for Halloween and of course a Peanuts Christmas set. Yea I would be down with that.
Now, how about some Godzilla sets...

Loving all these <3
Really liking the sound of that! Make it happen, LEGO.
$75 eh? Now to decide on something I don't already own... and without resorting to the $300 sets -__-
Will the Rebels sets be available from May 3 - 5th? I know they are "summer" sets... or is that later?
Anyone have a link to the full May flier?

I need to figure out which Star Wars sets to get now. I already bought all the Microfighters too.
Are the summer wave sets releasing during this time?

Not the UCS version (and if I'm honest with myself, I have absolutely zero room for it) but the Falcon will be mine. I'm a sucker for Han Solo minifigs.
...unless I crack and bend over for the Sandcrawler.

Get Super Star Destroyer or R2 now since they are next on chopping block. You will have time for Sandcrawler.

I'd love to but I really have zero room... Even my Quinjet is pushing it, but I'll make an exception for the smaller version of the Falcon.
The Sandcrawler frightens me due to scale actually.

Falcon footprint is a bit bigger than Quinjet. It is an awesome set. An iconic ship, fun build, and awesome figures.
Super Star Destroyer has the longest footprint of anything right now. A magnificent beast.
R2 actually has a very tiny footprint. He is a few inches smaller in each direction than Quinjet. He is just taller.

In fairness to the SSD, it's perfectly sized to go on the top of any bookcase or shelf.
Summer wave sets won't hit until June at the earliest, but probably July/August.
I'm going with the Sandcrawler for one Darth Revan, and then a couple Winter sets for a second. I've only picked up the Microfighters and two battle packs so far, so I have a lot to still get from that wave. May get a couple more for a third Revan... undecided on that so far.
I did a radio interview for Radio New Zealand National about Crowdsourcing, covering Lego Cuusoo mainly but also Satellite Reign

Good to know and looking at my current shelf, as I kinda figured, I can go wide but not tall. So looks like even though the Falcon is wider than the Quinjet, I think the Flying Hamburger has enough clearance when resting on top of my stack of books (they're all lying flat).
If I was comfortable with R2 being on the floor, I might get him but we'll see. I'll check out R2 when I next go to the store.

Truth. It isn't terribly tall either, so top of bookcases are prime space for that beast.
If you want frame of reference for putting R2 anywhere, he is roughly the size of a blender. Just a hair wider. But a lil bit shorter. But a blender is close enough for reference.
