DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 I wonder who fell and knocked their head in their bathroom and thought of this? Quote
matt1147 Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Thebrickfan is reported 34.99 Euro so that's what in USD - $50 bucks? Unless the US price is different....? I certainly would load up at $35 USD but not quite excited at $50. Quote
Grolim Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 It will probably be slightly less than the exact exchange rate conversion given that most sets have at least a small premium for the UK market. So maybe $44.99 or perhaps $39.99 Quote
comicblast Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 would it be possble to build each car with 401 pc? if you take out the figures it would leave 125-135 pc per vehicle or will it be like a creator set where you can build 3 different variants? seem like the car is not all that big next to the minigures, it would be cool if you could build all three and display The CUUSOO project could be made into 3 different variants, but the actual product can only be made into one, from what I can tell. It definitely wouldn't be possible to build all 3 next to each other with 401 pieces. Quote

tormentalous Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Here's an image of the back of the box which shows all 3 configurations. Not the official image but it's clear enough to see. 1 Quote
brandon90820 Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 those uniqur bricks on the bottom right (hopefully not stickers), and the 3 models make this set so much more exciting. gonna get one and build it day 1!!......... ....unless it's $50... F that. Quote
willy431 Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 I still can't believe it. What an embarrassment. Sure it will sell...but looks like kreo crap. What a horrible design--at least get the hood right! Close? I guess I can modify it to make a flat sloping hood...but I was hoping for an 800 piece real model for a c note. Quote
Matt C. Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 I think the hood makes it look bad more than anything else. If it wasn't for that it would look really good. Quote
willy431 Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 The hood is bad...really bad. But not nearly as bad as the a pillars and roof! Look at the width of the hood, as compared to the width of the roof. The only people who are going to want a bttf delorean model are adults who would pony up the 1-200 for a ucs type model...see the vw camper. They could have done it to that scale...thrown in the minifigs, and price it at 130. They are dumbing this down for 9 year olds who never heard of the movie and don't care about dads dads crappy crapshoot movies. Quote
willy431 Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Maybe they are going to wow us with a ucs Marty's yota hilux? Now that I would buy multiples of. Quote

Unless the US price is different....? I certainly would load up at $35 USD but not quite excited at $50.I'm pretty sure this will retail for $34.99; $39.99 tops. Quote

TheOrcKing Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 If only...?I know. Those have always been the first MOCs to come to mind ever since this whole thing. Quote

comicblast Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Back box scan of the Back to the Future CUUSOO from http://brickultra.com/lego-back-to-the-future-3-different-delorean-versions/. Apparently it is a "3-in-1" set, but I don't think that all three can be made at the same time: Quote

I get that it's not that difficult to add a few more pieces and some instructions, but it's a really good value add for this model. Perhaps that's why the top piece was changed to the "stepped" look rather than the sloped look? Still don't dig the hood design. Everything else, to me, looks fine. Quote

Yeah the hood is a little weird for sure, but nothing will stop me from having it. Quote
comicblast Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Yeah the hood is a little weird for sure, but nothing will stop me from having it. Yah. Would be cool to have a complete set of all LEGO CUUSOO's! Almost like LEGO UCS models in their exclusivity. Except not really. Have you seen how much a complete set of UCS models go for on eBay? More than I have. Quote
Anakinisvader Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 If only...?http://orionpax.de/23/index.php/showroom/gallery/7/BACK-TO-THE-FUTURE Great Scott, Marty!!!!! Quote
comicblast Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 $34.95 US. Is that the confirmed price, or one of your uncannily accurate guesses? I guess either way, it's close or spot on!! Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 $34.95 US. Done. Where do I put my money? Quote
Anakinisvader Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Done. Where do I put my money? In the flux capacitor. Quote
brandon90820 Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 So it's supposed to come out on the 18th? I just called my lego store and they they hadn't heard that it will be available before august in store or online Quote
