Let's dream a little: The Helicarrier of Yo-Sub Joo alias ysomt has just reached 10.000 supporters on LEGO Ideas and will therefore be entitled to a review by the LEGO team.

We can safely assume that the project, the size of which has been revised downwards by the MOCeur at the request of LEGO to make it more "feasible", will be discreetly overlooked.

The initial model consisted of more than 22.000 bricks and displayed extraordinary measurements (200 x 115 cm), the reduced version has more than 6700 and measures 120 x 70 cm. Even reinvented by its creator to meet the requirements of LEGO, this project remains far too ambitious to be marketed as is at a reasonable price.

In short, this project is therefore the first to be selected for the third review scheduled for 2014. The results of the first review of the year It should not be long before they are announced.

In any case, this is what the message I have just received from the LEGO sales department suggests, which explains to me that it was total panic in recent days, that I must not worried, LEGO will "make"and I will end up receiving one day my boxes of the set 21109 Exo-Suit ordered last August 1st on the LEGO Shop.

IF I understood the content of this message correctly, the break is therefore only temporary, contrary to what can be said everywhere, no need to go on eBay and pay for this set three times its price.

If your order is also pending processing, you should receive the same message.

The marketing operation around the LEGO Ideas 21109 Exo Suit set is in full swing: After the first teasing images, the intelligently orchestrated intervention of the LEGO designer (Mark Stafford) on Reddit which shows a candid connivance with the fans, reveals the underside of the adaptation of the product and announces in half words a guaranteed break from the first hours of its marketing ... Here then, in the wake, the reviews of this box which arrives on various sites like Brickset (which put on line the two photos which I take again here) or Toys N Bricks.

Difficult to do more to promote this box, the creator of the initial Cuusoo / Ideas project and the ability of LEGO to meet the expectations of the "big family" of AFOLs in need of Space Classic.

To tell you the truth, I will do like most of you, I will be on August 1st in front of my PC waiting to be able to buy this box before it is out of stock, even if I would have gone well without having the right to a "tribute" to the creator of the initial project and to his girlfriend written in large letters on the back of the box ...

In the end, and despite the cool side of the final product, when I take stock of everything that surrounds the launch of this box, I still have the impression that the whole thing comes down more to an operation during which a bunch of friends are pleased that at the launch of a product by the world's second largest toy manufacturer ... This is perhaps the will of LEGO: It will cost me around forty euros to I too be part of the "big family" ...

The suspense around the 21109 Exo-Suit set ends with the video below posted on the LEGO Ideas blog.

321 pieces, 2 minifigs Space Classic green (a man and a woman) and a mini robot-turtle will accompany the exo-skeleton reviewed and corrected by LEGO. Up for sale on the LEGO Shop next August 1st. US retail price: $ 34.99. Only one production wave planned, no reissue. When there are no more, there will be no more (except on ebay at 150 € ...)

Below and until better, a visual taken from the digital instruction booklet of the 21108 Ghostbusters set, uploaded by Brickset.

Update : Below is a photo, also uploaded by Brickset, to compare the two versions of the Exo-Suit, with on the left the model of the Cuusoo project by Peter Reid and on the right the official version which will be marketed by LEGO.

Some will no doubt find that LEGO and Peter Reid are doing a little too much in terms of progressive teasing around the set LEGO Ideas 21109 Exo-Suit which should finally be unveiled tomorrow morning if we are to believe the designer of the initial project ...

The above visual adds to the long list of published images that gradually announce or unveil the LEGO version of the Exo-Suit initially offered on Cuusoo by Peter Reid.

We can see in the image the original version (left) and the LEGO version of which we finally see only a foot end integrating parts Dark Grey and even a little Trans Yellow and a clamp already seen on the visual accessible here...

I remind you for all intents and purposes that this box will be marketed on the LEGO Shop and in the LEGO Stores from next August 1st. The US rate is $ 34.00.
