It was on track, and the case was just folded in a few hours: M.togami's Back To The Future project has just reached 10.000 supporters and is therefore taking the next step, just like Eve Online's Rifter Project which also reached the objective a few days ago and of which I still wonder how this ship, correct MOC but which is not great, could generate so much buzz ...

What will be the excuse given by LEGO for refusing to produce the DeLorean: Rights Issue with Robert Zemeckis, Steven Spielberg and Bob Gale? Films too old to attract a clientele of young people between the ages of 6 and 11?

The Back To The Future saga has a large base of fans who have seen or replayed the three films released between 1985 and 1990 in a loop. The youngest will discover the adventures of Doc and Marty on M6 which rebroadcasts them regularly on Sunday evening. But that will probably not be enough to convince LEGO to produce a set on this theme.

The next projects best placed in the race for 10.000 supporters should also meet with a refusal on the part of LEGO: Zelda, LEGO won't produce a whole range of new accessories just for a set, StormTroopers' bucket would cost customers too much, the project My Little Pony is a big joke and the Modular Western Town is still the one that has the most chances of seeing the light of day in the form of a set, undoubtedly to please the real AFOLs who have softly mobilized to support it ... But my little finger tell me that it will not stay big something modular in the version possibly produced by LEGO (Maybe something in the style of the 10230 Mini Modulars ? ) ....

It is the generally very knowledgeable Sir von LEGO who gives some scant additional information about this 10227 B-Wing Starfighter (UCS) which we have been talking about for many months but which is slow to show ... Indeed, it was in August 2011 that a merchant site in a little hurry had put online the two UCS of 2012 (see this article) ...

So it should be a set of about 1500 parts and which should be marketed in October 2012 at a price that should be around 180 €. I grant you, nothing to stir the LEGO planet with these few information, especially since no visual, even preliminary, even a blurry drawing, has filtered on the Internet for the moment ...
