The results for the LEGO CUUSOO summer review are in. For those who don't know, LEGO CUUSOO is a website where LEGO fans can submit concepts for future exclusive LEGO sets, or submit other concepts. If a concept gets 10,000 supporters, LEGO reviews it and decides whether or not to produce it as a real set. So far, three sets have passed review and been produced, including the hugely popular set 21102 Minecraft Micro World. And today, the fates of four more set concepts have been revealed: Modular Western Town: Failed due to conflicts with The Lone Ranger. Expected, but still disappointing. The Legend of Zelda: Failed due to the high costs of creating so many new LEGO elements for the minifigures. EVE Online Ships - Rifter: Failed due to not meeting business case requirements. Back to the Future DeLorean Time Machine: Passed! LEGO has secured a license with Universal for this product, and the final model will be ready by mid-2013 and sold as set 21103 Back to the Future Time Machine. In addition, the person who created the concept model and posted it on LEGO CUUSOO, Masashi Togami, will be donating the 1% royalties he receives to the Michael J. Fox foundation for Parkinson’s Research.

LEGO has created a life-size LEGO replica of Bag End - or, rather, a life-size LEGO replica of the small-scale LEGO replica of Bag End. The model features working lights and real smoke in the chimney, as well as several giant-sized versions of the tiny LEGO Minifigure versions of the somewhat small inhabitants. The model will be featured at LEGO KidsFest events, so if there's one in your area be sure to check it out. Check out the video below to see how it was made, and as you do, keep an eye on the background of the workshop. You might be able to see some other interesting things, like giant Adventurers obelisks or the Island Xtreme Stunts logo hanging on the side of a shelf! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfCWlH8E9rc Sources: Wired The official LEGO YouTube channel

The things you can build when money isn't an issue. This is an impressive build... but I can't stand watching them put glue on the pieces. I know they need to do that... but!...
