Highlight on Cuusoo

Hello all of you Brick Town Talk readers!

As many of you know, Lego has recently implemented a crowd sourcing project, called Lego Cuusoo. It is set up so any user who is above 18 can submit a project that they would like to see become a Lego product. It the project can get 10,000 supporters, then a team of Lego designers will review it, and if it passes review, will begin the process of becoming an actual Lego product.

So I'm here today to inform you on some great Lego Cuusoo products that would be great for Modular builders. First, there's the Themed brick box:

This project consists of multiple 'brick boxes', all specific to a certiant Lego theme, including the Modular Buildings series! Here's a brief description from the creator:
"Themed Brick Boxes would work the same way as the generic brick boxes that currently exist. The difference would lie in the unique pieces commonly found within a series, including colored bricks that fit the brand colors of the series.

This concept utilizes the licenses LEGO currently has and would only repurpose the bricks/pieces and containers that the company currently produces. Each new series can utilize this type of product.  "

Secondly, there's the Landscaping kit:

What this set would consist of would be three different, brick built trees, great additions to any City or Modular park or office garden!

So, if you can, please go support these projects, and help the owners to the lofty goal of 10,000!

New York, New York- (BTT) When it comes to places to visit in New York, the Natural History Museum is often mentioned. Not only is it the subject of some movies (Night in the Museum), it's also a national landmark. When it comes to recreating such a famous building, RedCoKid (Rox Your Blox) doesn't disappoint. And not only is it a faithful recreation, it's also a Modular Building! The dome at the top is worthy of much note, using angle plates and curved slopes to recreate the shape. The building also makes use of another ancient artifact: the grey brick bricks from Helm's Deep!

Also, sorry about the lull in posting over the last week, I had computer issues, and Jonathan was on vacation! We'll be back to posting semi-regularly now, but in the meantime, you guys keep on building, and post your MOCs to the Cafe Corner pool on Flickr. It's a surefire way to make sure we see it!

I Haven't Forgotten You!

I would like to sincerely apologize for the lack of posts as of late. I am currently working on a rather large project that I hopefully will be able to share on the site in the coming weeks, at which point I promise to get back to showcasing all your great MOCs on a more regular basis.

- Jonathan
