10.000 votes for the Exo Suit!

A new project has reached 10.000 votes on Cuusoo!

This is the Exo Suit project by "Peter Reid".

Exo Suits are very popular among Afols. However they tend to be very flimsy. This might be an issue when the project undergoes the review by Lego.

But we hope this will make it to a set.

Check it out on Cuusoo.

Lego Mindstorms 2013

Great news on the future of Mindstorms.

Micro Farm

Micro builds are always very challenging. To achieve details on the micro scale is a difficult thing.

Flickr user "True Dimensions" has done a great job with this micro farm. The details are all over the place and also a great sense of humor was incorporated in this moc.

50's Gas Station

This is a awesome little gas station by Flickr user "lichtblau".

Lichtblau has created a vintage gas station from the 50's. A cool weathered tow truck makes the scene complete. Does it remind you of a certain famous tow truck?

New 2013 Lego Modular, 10232 Palace Cinema

Finally it is here! The new modular, Palace Cinema.

The rumors were true, it is a cinema. This image was found on the Lego website. The official announcement is expected soon and the set will probably hit the shelves somewhere around March.

One of the cool things about this set is the dark red baseplate. It is either a 32 x 32 or two 16 x 32's.

As of this set all new modular buildings will be part of the Creator Expert theme.

Aughnanure Castle

A beautiful castle today. Constructed by "Mark of Falworth".

The castle is based on a real castle in Ireland. The real castle does not sit on a coastline or river.

The water is created beautifully, the round 1x1's are simply deposited around the castle. The use of different colors makes it very realistic.

Christmas in London

Christmas is almost here and loads of beautiful Christmas creations are here already!

This is a scene from London in the 1890's. A very cool creation by Flickr user "G∆be Umland".

The creator has done a great job here. The lampposts are decorated with beautiful bows and there is even a small choir singing in the streets!

The inside of the building is very detailed and fun to check out.

Cuusoo Summer Review Results!

Finally the Lego Cuusoo team has released the results of the summer review!

It is great to hear that the Back to the Future DeLorean time machine has made it trough the review. The final model is expected to become available mid 2013.

Unfortunately the rest of the projects have not passed the review.

Here is why:

Eve Online ships
The business case was considered to challenging.

Modular Western Town
Is conflicting with an ongoing project at Lego. (the don't say which project but we can assume it is the new Lone Rangers Theme).

The Legend of Zelda
Too many new molds would have to be made for this theme. This would require an investment that is not within the boundaries of a Cuusoo product. They do note that when a project does note pass the review it does not mean there could not be similar projects in the future.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Designer video's

Two new Designer videos have been released this week.

The designers of the new Teenage Mutant Ninja theme give some background information on the development of this new theme.
