Hapori Tohu Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Yet another video game project has reached 10,000 votes on LEGO Cuusoo. The Thinking With Portals Project is based on the popular Portal games, and features some awesome ways to recreate the game using our favorite construction bricks. Even better, the project was put together by BZPower's very own Brickthing, 55555, Kakaru, and Lego Junkie, all under the name Team Jigsaw. The LEGO Cuusoo Team has already commented on the project, and it's officially entered into the Review phase. You can see the proposed sets for yourself by visiting its <a href='http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/18258' target='offsite'>Cuusoo Page</a>. Congratulations, Team Jigsaw!View the full article Quote News Forums Q&A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axilus Prime Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Awesome! The poster looks great.If there is even ONE copyright issue, I am going to sue both Lego and whatever company made Portal.

FireEmblem Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 copyrights shouldn't be a problem, i'm pretty sure valve would have 8 of these sets around the offices.they can build them while "working" on half-life 3.

Lyichir Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Why does the minifig in the picture of the Portal Puzzle Board Game have no arms? :blink:Anyway, good luck in the reviewing process!That's a microfigure, a smaller fig with a 1x1 footprint used primarily in Lego board games.Anyway, I'm optimistic about this project's success. The concept is well-executed (with three different concept sets), the subject matter is family-friendly (I imagine the Thinking with Portals initiative to use Portal 2 in education can only help its case), and Valve strikes me as the kind of company which would be willing to agree to a fair licensing agreement.

That cake better not be a lie, because it's Lego Portal Cake!!I really hope it passes, the pieces used are brilliant (especially those rounded 1x2s and the Turrets!), and I can't wait to get my hands on that Lego GLaDOS!! I had no idea that Team Jigsaw was on BZP, and they better thank Valve for posting that on Steam. That's where at least 6,000 of their supporters saw it.

Ballom Nom Nom Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Well, this does look like a very unique and cool concept. I hope it continues to succeed through the reviewing process.

~garnira returns~ Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Great job guys! The only problem I have is that it (if successful) will be a liscensed theme, and I have a problem with them. One, lego dosen't have to really stretch their imaginations to produce it, and two, sets worth 10 dollars become 20, sets worth 20 dollars become 30, and so-forth.

One, lego dosen't have to really stretch their imaginations to produce it, and two, sets worth 10 dollars become 20, sets worth 20 dollars become 30, and so-forth.Licensed sets still require imagination. Building a model from a movie or video game isn't really that different from building models based on real-life vehicles or buildings, after all. And you're way overstating the price discrepancy between licensed and non-licensed sets. Yes, the price gets bumped up, but never to double the price of an equivalent non-licensed set. Heck, the Minecraft model ended up at a very reasonable price for its piece count.

Lyichir Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Great,now all we need is a Team Fortress 2 lego set and possibly a Half-Life or L4DThose two are far less likely, since both are extremely violent compared to Portal, in which the only foes are robots and the only blood spilled throughout the game is your own.
