LEGO Cuusoo announced the news via a brief statement on their blog : The Winchester Shaun of the Dead project , which had reached 10.000 supporters, will not be happening. Period.
The advanced explanation holds up: The project, or in any case the film from which it is inspired, is not compatible with the manufacturer's target clientele: 6-11 year olds. End of the discussion. A whole paragraph follows praising Yatkuu, the MOCeur behind the project, and the thing is folded.
In short, I kind of suspected it , and even if some wanted to believe it because of the popular and media enthusiasm that this MOC will have generated.
LEGO's argument is still somewhat dubious: They could have simply labeled the product as " Collector for Adults ," and that would have been that... In short, once again LEGO is more concerned with its own image as a manufacturer respectful of its pseudo-non-violence policy than with the demands of its potential customers...
