An individual with the handle of len_d69 has introduced a proposal on LEGO Ideas (formerly LEGO CUUSOO) for a Voltron set. What makes this doubly cool isn’t just that it’s a Voltron set, but that it’s composed of the five separate lions, and they can form into Voltron, just like in the show. Like all Ideas/CUUSOO proposals, it requires two things: enough user/voter support, and, more importantly, the approval of the original rights holder.
Currently up on LEGO CUUSOO at the idea stage is this pair of Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker lightsaber LEGO models. If it reaches 10,000 supporters, the current design of the finalized set includes Luke and Vader minifigures, which sit upon a display stand which also seats the two brick built lightsabers. Each saber has a focusing crystal as part of the design, and is designed to support a brick built blade attached to the hilt.
Peer Kreuger of Vayamenda.com created these amazing motorized LEGO models of the black and camo Tumblers and The Bat (which doesn’t actually fly) from The Dark Knight Trilogy. Additionally, he’s put them up to the CUUSOO process where there’s a chance they could become actual LEGO sets: The Bat and The Tumbler.
Hat Tip: The Brothers Brick
Tactical Fanboy loves the video games of Valve. So, when the chance to have a LEGO set, or three, made that’s based on the brilliant and justifiably popular ‘Portal’ series of games, we’re totally behind the effort. Using LEGO CUUSOO, where an idea and 10,000 supporters can turn almost any project into an official LEGO set (with 1% of net profits going to the creators), Brickthing has introduced 3 unique designs for LEGO sets based on ‘Portal’: GLaDOS’ Chamber, Modular Testing Chamber, and Portal Puzzle Board Game. The project’s only about 3,000 votes away from becoming reality, so chances are good it’ll be made. This is great news, considering that we already bought the Minecraft set created as a result of CUUSOO.
