This thread has been repurposed to be an all around LEGO thread. Originally it started with the below post but now I would like to have it showcase Legos both gaming and non-gaming related. Original title: Support LEGO CUUSOO Nintendo-theme Products! Spotlight: Zelda ~ DrFinkelsteinI have been, currently am, and always will be a huge LEGO fan. I grew up playing them, with the pirate and western themes being my favorites. Now though there is something called
Lego Cuusoo, a website designed to allow people from all over the globe to come up with brilliant ideas for Lego sets in the hopes of having them produced.
That said, I wanted to have a thread showcasing some great Nintendo-themed ideas from the website as well as allowing general discussion of what would make for a good Nintendo-lego set. I've seen multiple Zelda ideas and even a Pikmin Memorial. K-Nex has released various Mario playsets in a rather cool move. Plus there are those Mario Kart K-nex playsets. It's all very exciting news, even though I'm entering my late twenties. So allow me to present one that is on the cusp of a true LEGO review, the Iron Knuckle playset from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
The Legend of Zelda - Iron Knuckle Encounter
How cool is this? I love the idea of little play sets from various scenes in the Zelda games. I would purchase each of these as a prized possession. It would blow my mind. What about a Temple of Time play set with two rooms and the first has the Sacred Emeralds while the other has the Master Sword? Maybe there could be an outside of the Spirit Temple play set where there's a treasure chest in the one hand and it includes Kotake and Koume minifigs for Naroobi's capture!? Maybe a hidden cave on the side wall where a certain treasure could be found?
Then there's this one, from The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker.
The Legend of Zelda - King of Red Lions
What excites me so much about seeing this is the potential for how the sets build with each other. Imagine having various 'island' sets which could then all be laid out to allow for some high-seas Lego action!? I bet a bunch of pieces could be borrowed from their already existing Pirate lines. This particular one is pretty cool and rather simple in execution. I'm not sure how much would go into making the bigger islands like Windfall and Outset, since the scale is quite substantial... but having a $100 set of Outset island is absolutely something I would be interested in... maybe I'm crazy but it'd be not just an investment into my number one favorite hobby, but also something I could share with my children down the line.
These are just the Zelda one's I came across but I'm sure there's others I haven't. In fact, I know there is.
What would you like to see in a Nintendo Lego set? Describe in vivid details if you can because while we can't build these structures just yet, we absolutely can create them in our minds.
Oh, and perhaps most importantly,...
PLEASE take the time to SIGN UP and SUPPORT/VOTE for these play sets.Even if you personally wouldn't end up picking it up, every vote helps get Lego to consider these play sets for others. You'd be doing everyone a huge solid for it. Plus, if you're not fully sold on an idea, Lego will always have the final design say, so really... these projects should all get better as they progress! Thank you all for listening and reading.
