LEGO Cuusoo: It's the hour of truth ...

Here we are, the project The Winchester (Shaun of the Dead) initiated by yatkuu has reached 10.000 supporters. The support of Simon Pegg (Shaun in the film) on Twitter or during his visit to the Conan O'Brien Show is undoubtedly for something.

But a big problem now arises that the project must be examined by LEGO in order to assess the possibility of marketing a set based on the work of yatkuu: How LEGO is going to be able to respond to the enthusiasm of the fans of this film-based MOC , certainly humorous, but which contains violence, gore, living dead, etc ....

LEGO already bordered on this in its first comment on Cuusoo: This is indeed a comedy and LEGO has already produced sets about universes with living dead, violence, fighting, etc ... and after the Lord of the Rings lineup and its orcs, there will be no valid excuse to deny this project for reasons related to the so-called politics moral from LEGO ....

 After that, we can also wonder if this type of set will meet with sufficient commercial success to justify going into production. Supporting a project with one click and following the buzz is one thing, paying € 200 or € 300 is another. Shaun of the Dead, released in 2004, isn't exactly the movie that is creating the buzz right now ... and the people who voted to support the project aren't necessarily all AFOLs.

I look forward to the result of the LEGO Review Stage which should last several weeks ... I have a small idea of ​​the result ...
