The Amazing Isle Lothloxia


 The Isle Lothloxia. Constructed by L D M, this island set is absolutely amazing due to the wonderful job he did on the water and transition to the beach. It looks beautiful, and the castle is pretty boss, too.

USCSS Prometheus by onosendai2600


 Another version of Prometheus, this time done by Andrew Lee (onosendai2600). This one is very true to the actual ship from the movie, unlike this one.

Steampunk Sunday


 This steampunk TIE Fighter is way better than the previous steampunk TIE Fighter I posted. This TIE Fighter was made by Sean Jensen (Steadibrick), to accompany the X-Wing he had built previously.

Well Now, Isn't This Just Amazing!


 Not this splash, but this gallery, curated by John (Five X Five). While not actually Legos, these renders, by Brickthing and [Lego Junkie], are extremely cool.

Lego Turing Machine


 This machine was built by Jeroen van den Bos and Davy Landman for Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica's (CWI) exposition "Turings Erfenis", in honor Alan Turing's 100th birthday this year.

Holy Mother of Krypton


 Amazing. That's all I have to say about Dave Ware's (BrickWares) Superman Lego mosaic. I mean, just fricking amazing. The shading, the lighting, all working together to form the most wonderful Lego Kal-El I've ever seen.

Escher's Relativity How It Should Be


 Paul Vermeesch puts a twist on Relativity with this Lego Star Wars themed version. The whole build is one foot cubed and represents the original trilogy in a clock-wise fashion. The model is also fully light, you know, when it needs to be.

My Little Pony... CANCELLED?!

 Super sad news. Yesterday, the CUUSOO review board announced that the My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic idea has been rejeceted before it even reached 10,000 supporters because Hasbro owns the license.

Official statement:

First and foremost, congratulations to Addam for gaining so many supporters for this very well done concept on LEGO CUUSOO. The work you have put into the concepts for potential LEGO renditions of My Little Pony figures and playsets is outstanding.

We know My Little Pony is very popular, and these concepts would make great products. Our team has done our due diligence. Since the property is owned by Hasbro we've decided it’s neither a brand fit nor a strategic fit for the LEGO Group to pursue a My Little Pony license, and so we will not consider My Little Pony projects on LEGO CUUSOO further. We see how enthusiastic and hopeful MLP fans are at the possibility of a LEGO line and are sorry to be the bearers of this disappointing news.

Since LEGO CUUSOO opens us to new product suggestions, naturally people will suggest concepts that aren’t a strategic fit. We are grateful for the spirit behind projects like the My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic project. It keeps us sharp and looking toward the future of the LEGO brick.

The LEGO CUUSOO Team
 Yeah, so. Sadness.

Steampunk Sunday


 Behold! The magnificence that is the Steampunk Shark Submersible, built by Eurobricks member Legobodgers for the To Sail the Technic Sea..." contest. This is possibly the worst submersible ever due to the fact that it couldn't actually submerge without killing the passenger.
