Hapori Tohu Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 The excitement over the Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity Rover has led to yet another Cuusoo Project reaching the 10,000 vote milestone. The Curiosity Rover, recreated using our favorite bricks, has now been moved to the Review stage, and is that much closer to becoming an official LEGO set. You can check out the whole thing on the project's <a href='http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/3431' target='offsite'>Cuusoo page</a>.View the full article Quote News Forums Q&A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Smoke Monster Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I really hope this becomes an official Lego set. And if it does, I hope the sky crane is included with it. Both of them look awesome. Quote Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenFlash Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I had a feeling this was coming. Anyways, this would look great as a real set. I really like the details on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kohaku Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Man, this one needs to become a set. I love the look of the rover and the sky crane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meiko Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) Wow. For once a CUUSOO proposal that I didn't support. Either way, this is a great MOC, and if I can, I'll buy it (assuming it becomes a set).

Ektris Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Now this is something that deserves to get made. And it harkens back to the original successes in Cuusoo, so I'm really not surprised it won.I'm looking forward to the day it's (hopefully) announced as a set. ~|ET|~ Quote E-T... Phone home.

Taipu1 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 It looks pretty cool, is it just me, or does one of the parts in the arm contrast in colour. Seems to be old Dark Grey, instead of dark bley.Hopefully, that won't be the case if it makes it as a set. Quote - Taipu1.HighFly MatoranShowdownBZPRPG ProfilesHave you seen my Blog?

Seems to be old Dark Grey, instead of dark bley.Hopefully, that won't be the case if it makes it as a set.It won't. Cuusoo proposals are always modified from their original form to be more practical as sets, in terms of building techniques and part availability. And eliminating the use of a discontinued color would surely be one of the very first changes to take place.I personally think this proposal has a great chance of success, and it will go great with the other science/engineering-based proposals that made it through when LEGO Cuusoo was a Japan-only service. It's no surprise that a proposal this well-planned comes from a person who actually worked on Curiosity in the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. And it's always nice to see proposals that won't have to wrestle with highly-valued licensing agreements. Overall I look forward to seeing how the LEGO designers re-imagine this proposal, and I don't think I'd hesitate to pick this up if/when it turns up in stores!

The Hip Historian Iaredios Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I sure do hope this becomes a set... I love space related things that actually exist, such as satellites, rockets, rovers, and space telescopes. and I love that this was designed by a person that worked on it, accuracy is prime.And over 7 feet tall! That thing is massive!
