Better late than never. Nine days ago, the Mini Shop Series project on LEGO CUUSOO, which includes simple versions of a Starbucks, Apple Store, McDonald's, 7-Eleven, Dunkin Donuts and LEGO Store, finally reached 10,000 supporters. We wish it the best of luck through the review stage.View the full article

I'd like to see these made into sets, but truth be told I think they might have a hard time getting the necessary licensing agreements.

That is really cool, but Sumiki just summed up what I was thinking.

Sumiki summed up my first thoughts (and do Lego people really need a Starbucks?) but even if they don't decide on the actual licensing, it'd still be nice to have minishops like this of Lego's own brand as long as they don't use some of the worse puns. I'm still made they didn't think of anything creative in the palace cinema's actress "Minnie Figure" (was Peggy Studd too hard?).

I don't know, with all the rewards lego has been receiving, I'd be surprised if any of said companies turned down a promotion!

[Athmos]

If I was the CEO of one of those companies, I was push for letting LEGO do it!

 

Having your character turned into LEGO is said by different actors and actresses to be one of their greatest honors, so I would think having your business turned into a LEGO set would be a great honor as well.

 

OF course, I'm just thinking optimistically here.

If I were a business owner that was being represented, I would totally go for it. Free advertising, and an excuse to have a Lego set on display at my place. But maybe that's just me.

YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!! !!! !!! This is AWESOME (Although was right.)

[Taipu1]

Its going to be tricky for them to get licenses from all these individual companies, and I hope Lego isn't going to flop and try and make Lego's own shop type things. The appeal here is very much in relating to the real life brands.

Well we shouldn't forget that a McDonald's license would be out of the question since it would get parents groups and other similar organisations up in arms about lego promoting unhealthy food. The same could apply for a couple of others, but McDonalds is the one which is the most publicised and criticised for promoting itself...unless of course they only show healthy stuff in there.
