TheOrcKing Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Here are the results of the Winter 2012, Spring and Summer 2013 results. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-NTCGA5uKE On one hand, I'm ecstatic to finally see a non-intellectual property get the green light. On the other, it's disappointing seeing three different review stages with only one idea going through at all. The Brick Fan Quote
MartinP Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Thanks TOK. I was waiting for these results. Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 I don't really like many of them at all. I am in for Zelda of the league of Legends. Other than that not really impressed. Quote
Frank Brickowski Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Seeing the exo suit instantly reminded me of Ripley and the Power Loader from ALIEN and I asked myself: Why does LEGO not get an ALIEN license? Produce a set like "Ripley with Power Loader fighting the Alien Queen". Produce all those cool vehicles and ships: - The Nostromo - Landing Ship - Troop Transport - The Colony... ...well ok, I already get it: too scary, too violent, not really LEGO-like. But seeing all those vehicles and ships in nice black und blue boxes in a LEGO store would have been awesome. 2 Quote
binici Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Most of the sets looked bland. Even the next sets, other than Oz and Ghostbuster looks meh. Should be interesting if the price point will be $30 for the exosuit? 1 Quote
h311m4n Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Cool for the exo-suit, finally something a bit different! All the other sets were really meh to me like that Pete guy...hoping the landrover gets made too as well as ghostbusters! Quote
@rtisan Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Exo Suit looks pretty great! I supported that one quite a while back. For the upcoming review, I hope Wizard of Oz wins. That would be amazing. Period. I`d settle for Ghostbusters too though Quote
comicblast Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 I guess the one I am most disappointed about is the Mini Shop Series. I honestly thought that it had quite a bit of potential, but maybe there were too many licensing agreements to be made, with 7-11, McDonald's, Apple, and Starbucks. Still... R.I.P. Mini Shop Series.

Guest eightbrick Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Yes! I love that Exo Suit! That said, it's absolutely pathetic that only one out of ten passed (I thought originally they said they would try to do one winner from each review - or more...). Oh well... as long as they don't water down the detail too much the Exo Suit should look stunning! Good news for a great MOCer, congrats Peter! Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Personally, I don't like the Exo Suit. I am extremely disappointed about Zelda and Mini shops. Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 To me none of them are close to the delorean in popularity Quote
lowillsw Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 I would love the Land Rover to be made. They can easily expand the line to make the Defender or the Discovery II similar to the VW van. Quote
segreto Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 I really wanted Portal. I would have bought that for myself and for investments. The exo suit is investment only, if I even buy any. It looks messy and unorganized. Maybe It is a fun item, but my initial response is that it's not that impressive for display, playing with, or building. Ghostbusters items look pretty cool, though I would also like to see the Lego Women win. My daughter is always asking for more, but the sets just don't have the ratios to even out our counts at home.

Brickshopper Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Yeah who cares about this review GIVE ME WIZARD OF OZ! 1 Quote
Brickshopper Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Seriously can you think of a pop culture movie more deserving of its own lego set. It's the yellow BRICK road for gods sake PLEASE make this set! Quote
Guest eightbrick Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 I'm not really familiar with the series (had one game, didn't really understand it and got stuck as a kid) but yeah they should just give in and produce one already. With the other one coming in (Iron Knucle Encounter) that'll be three LoZ projects... lol they can't take a hint, can they? I don't really like many of them at all. I am in for Zelda of the league of Legends. Other than that not really impressed. Quote
rcdb1984 Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Does the land rover remind you of a grey crawler? Quote
peculiar23 Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Very cool! I hope they do a better job of staying true to the Exo suit as submitted and don't change it as much as they did with the delorean. Quote
krayzie Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 The exo suit will be my first cuusoo purchase if they don't screw it up... I figured zelda wouldn't be made as knex does all the mario crap. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted October 24, 2013 Author Posted October 24, 2013 I'm disappointed the Mini-Shops idea didn't pass even though the designer gave like a a dozen ways Lego could have gone with like a little Lego store. I am not surprised the Tumbler didn't pass seeing how they already did one back in the day (plus the currently available smaller one), Perdue Pete was a very limited market despite getting so many votes quickly, the Google Android is cute but I'd imagine some weird licensing issues surrounding it, the prior Legend of Zelda project was rejected so what else was going to happen here, and I don't know how League of Legends could have turned out anyway considering it really just would have been a bunch of minifigures and nothing to show for as an actual set. I almost thought Portals would have passed seeing how popular the game is along with the continuing performance of Minecraft. Space Marines (Space Troopers, whatever) had so much potential. Poor guy, Nick Royer (the designer) changed one thing after another after yet another to still get the boot. How utterly frustrating. Well, seeing how everyone else is being brutally honest, I couldn't give two less of a poop for the Land Rover. I'm sorry but it's just a big gray square jeep. I'm still waiting for the vastly superior and original Vampire GT to reach review and pass. Quote
citymorgue Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 I'm not going to lie, I've gone through a TON of CUUSOO projects, and short of the AT-AT, almost nothing IMO seems worthwhile. I've seen the invisible hand and that actually looks pretty decent. I think my problem is that I just don't like small sets. I like big sets. Only problem is, the chances of seeing a really badass 6000+ piece set are slim. =/. 1 Quote
kerrmando Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 I seem to be the only person on this site super excited about the exo suit being made.. maybe if exobro was back things would be different... 1 Quote

It was one of the first projects I ever supported early last year. I already said I was glad to finally see something completely original get the greenlight. I only hope Lego doesn't make too many changes for the final product. Quote
Guest brickcrazyhouse Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 is there an estimate of pieces for the original design of the exo suit Quote

I think it'll be a good price. probably 29.99 or 34.99 Quote
