LEGO Cuusoo, ridiculousness definitely does not kill ...

After the fiasco, or the success of your choice, of the MOC-based project The Winchester (Shaun of the Dead) by yatkuu which reached 10.000 supporters largely thanks to the support of actor Simon Pegg, too happy to see himself immortalized in minifig format even though he has publicly declared that he does not receive royalties on the sale of derivative products from the film, LEGO Cuusoo's thinking heads change yet again The game's rules so as not to have to deal with this type of unexpected success which poses big problems for politics moral from the maker of Billund.

From now on, any project submitted must be approved before appearing online. In short, LEGO will eliminate anything that can pose a problem: Licenses that cannot be produced, projects that are too gory, violent or based on competing universes, delusions of young TFOLs eager to obtain buckets of minifigs, fans of Transformers and Hasbro , disturbing projects supported by the media buzz, demands disguised as projects, etc ....

In short, I can tell you without getting too wet that in a few weeks we will hear more about Cuusoo, and that in a few months LEGO will announce the end of the games. As was already the case with many of the manufacturer's initiatives that did not meet the expected success ...
