Next CUUSOO set: 21103 Back to the Future™ Time Machine
Omicron replied to Blakstone's topic in LEGO Licensed
And Lego can't put those in the set? The first 2 sets I linked to are the first cuusoo models, and they are just meant for display only. And honestly, if you find a turning wheel to be fun playability, then I just don't know what to say. And a collection of new molds for weapons and accessories with new figs, kinda sounds like the proposed project does it not? But "because it has no playability" as you say was not the reason, so you can't say or understand to say that it is the reason. Lego doesn't want to cash in on new molds for a one time set, even it is just one unique piece. Even if the other Zelda project makes it, I doubt Lego will consider it for the same reason because it still features new molds, plus his other project was shut down pretty quick. -Omi -

And I found more, but I think that's enough to show my point. Just cuz you don't see much play value in it doesn't mean others share your view on playable sets. Not all sets are meant to be played with. No he didn't do what they asked. He gave them what they asked for. They asked for this set. If it wasn't what they were looking for, they would have mentioned that. But it was nothing to do with the set concept that they asked for. If the set was not what they were looking for to begin with, or if there were other complications, they would have turned it down before it reached its mark, and they've done that with other themes already before they reached their 10,000. -Omi -

Lego has pieces they've already made that can be used. Zelda's hairpiece can be a reused LoTR elven hairpiece (and it works just as fine). Ganondorf's hairpiece can be this or this (will have to leave out ears for that). The crystal piece can be 4 of these. Hylian shield can be printed on Lego's existing shields. That leaves Link's cap which can be molded with the ears and hair (or just mold it with ears and print hair on the head) and the Master Sword as the unique pieces they would have to mold. -Omi -

Characters are, actors aren't. In the toy/game business, if you use an actor's likeness, they recieve royalties. Universal would be paying the actors, and it can up the bill for Lego. If they decide a figs to not be made, that lowers the price. And I sign my posts because I've been doing it for 9 years on forums, and people always seem to misspell Omicron. It is easier for them to call me Omi. -Omi -

Then what about the cost being paid for the royalties given to Matthew J Fox and/or Christopher Lloyd for when/if they make figures for the BTTF set? They have to pay for likeness. -Omi -

It was what Lego specifically asked from him, what more do you want? They didn't want the list of pieces, they wanted a set. He gave the concept to them and they accepted it. Then when the project recieved the 10k votes, they still accepted it. The final set concept that Lego asked him for and accepted ideally only had 2 new molds at tops. -Omi -

1. Lego has produced many playsets without play features. And just because it wasn't present in the suggestion, doesn't stop Lego from making one. They have control over that. Obviously you never played with a castle set. 2. The set idea was added with the addendum of the new rule which specificed a set format presentation. When cuusoo started, there was no such rule. 3. "that's not really what CUUSOO is about." From the main website, and I quote: "1.Have an Idea? Create a Project, share your product concept, and see what other people think." A product can be anything, from set to elements. -Omi -

K'nex doesn't have a Zelda license. They never made Zelda sets. In fact their license isn't Nintendo either. It is Mario Kart. The idea was feasible, and even Lego knew about the MarioKart. That's why they didn't turn it down immediately like they did with the Super Mario project. -Omi -

Are you kidding? The project had a set idea in it. And many others suggested different possible sets, most popular one being the Temple of Time. Eve Online did not pass review. -Omi -
How to delete double printed heads?
Omicron replied to Bubifett's topic in Minifig Customisation Workshop
No brasso will not alter the color of the plastic. Just apply the brasso and rub it with rag or paper towel. And a soft eraser works too and so do magic erasers as well. -Omi -
Oyo does make the Cubs too. :P I just incorporated Lego into the fig. -Omi

BW and BF do that. Which leads to why they just can't do a random one-off custom mold off the bat. Molds have to be more than one item, so the spue would contain like say a helmet and armor. And if it is their own item, obviously they will cash in on it out of their pockets. However specific items (and colors) requested specifically for customers are paid for by the customers. And it's not cheap at all which is why they don't do item commissions (colors they do take into consideration if you sponsor). Most vendors may make a requested item if it popularly requested by the majority of the fans, like the centaur body that BrickForge makes (that was requested for years). -Omi

That is cuz it was already released in red. :P But seems plausible for it to be released again. -Omi

No site like that exists. -Omi

No introduction is needed. *Torsos and heads were printed by Penzora *Headbands by Minifigcat and colored by me with added eyes *Sais are BrickForge *Nunchucks are BrickArms Enjoy -Omi

Why would Disney need to distribute future films under Fox when they can do it themselves and without paying another studio to do it? -Omi
-
Just FYI, the success of Iron Man man cannot be given to Disney, as Disney didn't own Marvel at the time. Iron Man was a success without Disney. Iron Man 2 was the first Marvel film under Disney. Actually scratch that, Avengers is the sole Marvel film thus far that was distributed by Disney. The other ones were through Paramount, which is not Disney at all. -Omi

But the Luasfilms intro went along with the trumpets from the Fox intro. They were made for each other. -Omi

Well it won't be Fox, that's for sure. :P -Omi

To add more salt to the wound, we will never see the 20th Century Fox again with future Star Wars.So get ready to see this intro to set you up with the galaxy far, far away. -Omi

I personally do not like this. This raises the probability of them retconning the Expanded Universe in the novels with the future movies. -Omi
