LEGO Space Marines Theme A Possibility

LEGO CUUSOO Space MarinesThe Space Marines project on LEGO CUUSOO has garnered more than 10,000 supporters and will soon be reviewed by LEGO to see if the concept will be turned into a new set or a theme. The creators of the project have made numerous concept images and a promotional video as well, showcasing what a potential Space Marines theme or set might look like.

LEGO Series 7 Collectible Minifigures 8831 Galaxy PatrolLEGO has previously tested the waters with a Space Marines style concept with its Collectible Minifigures Series 7 , the Galaxy Patrol figure (pictured above), which, in fact, the LEGO CUUSOO Space Marine armor are based upon. Currently, LEGO has two Science-Fiction inspired themes, Star Wars and the newly released Galaxy Squad. LEGO Space Marines has the possibility to carve out another niche in the LEGO lineup, which has grown increasingly diverse over the years, with themes such as Ninjago and the upcoming Legends of Chima, to licensed themes such as The Lord Of The Rings and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Warhammer 40K Space MarinesSpace Marines, in recent years, have perhaps most been popularized by the popular video game franchise Halo and to a lesser extent the wargame, Warhammer 40,000. Halo has a  line of construction sets produced by Mega Bloks while Games Workshop has been producing Warhammer 40K Space Marine miniatures (pictured above) for years. Since the Space Marines project is part of the review that began on December 3rd, it may be a few more months before the results are announced by LEGO.

LEGO The Legend of Zelda…What More Needs to be Said?

The concept for a The Legend of Zelda theme, not surprisingly, has gathered more than 10,000 supporters on LEGO CUUSOO. The theme concept features a variety of new parts, such as weaponry, swords and shields as well as minifigures of the main characters from the game franchise, namely Link and Zelda. The project will be reviewed by LEGO in June as reviews are now only conducted quarterly. Licensing will likely be the biggest issue during the LEGO review as Nintendo would need to be on board with the idea for the production of such a theme to occur. In addition, it is not yet known if LEGO would be willing to release another fantasy theme alongside the new The Lord of the Rings lineup slated to come out this summer. Continue reading →

LEGO Firefly Theme May Soon Be on the Horizon

Thanks to the support of fans of the science fiction TV Series Firefly and the former cast of the show, a model of the Serenity spaceship from the program may soon be becoming part of the LEGO lineup. The Serenity gained more than 10,000 supporters on LEGO CUUSOO and will likely be undergoing LEGO review soon to evaluate whether is it possible to put the model into production.
