LEGO Ideas Isn’t Moving Forward With Sergio’s Ghostbusters Firehouse

LEGO has announced the product or products they’ll be moving forward with from LEGO Ideas. Unfortunately, not that surprising they didn’t choose Sergio Herencias’ Ghostbusters Firehouse. (GB Inc. Blog Post) If we’re not getting Ghostbusters HQ yet, what will LEGO Idea will they make?

LEGO Ideas #011 WALL-E

Big congratulations to Angus MacLane who created this blocky version of everyone’s favorite hopelessly romantic robot. MacLane is a Pixar animator and director, who actually worked on the WALL-E film. He created the model during the WALL-E production, and submitted it to LEGO Ideas in hopes of it becoming a set. Your hopes and dreams for WALL-E have come true, as the creation will become the next LEGO Ideas product.

Getting an official Lego Ghostbusters Firehouse isn’t over until Lego Wall-E cleans up a world full of colored bricks.Read More »

Stay-Puft Lego Man

Brent Waller, who invented the Cuusoo Lego’s 30th Anniversary Ghostbusters playset is back with a new Ghostbusters Lego Cuusso idea.

Ray use to roast Stay-Puft Marshmallows at Camp Waconda when he was a kid. Thirty years later because of Ghostbusters I use to make Stay-Puft out of marshmallows and tooth picks. During Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary now I want to build Mr. Stay-Puft out of non edible white, blue, and red Legos.

It can’t happen if we don’t support Brent again and buy the official Ghostbusters Ecto-1 Lego set with mini figures due this June. Once the campaign reaches 10,000 votes Lego will harmonize the universe and make a decision to move forward with this.

Info:

The follow up to my Ghostbusters: 30th Anniversary Project, The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man!

He may looking cute and friendly but this is no mere chunky sailor. As the physical manifestation of the Sumerian demonic deity Gozer he stands over 34cm (13 inches) tall and is a formidable sight to an minifig in your LEGO city.

He has articulated Arms, Legs, Head, Feet and Hands.

If and when this is successful Brent would like to see three new mini figs be included. Hopefully Walter Peck can have a mini fig variant which is covered in sweet marshmallow! 😀

Ghostbusters Legos?

When I first posted about The Real Ghostbusters minimates last September I had talked about how growing up I would have wanted Ghostbusters™ Lego toys. The only official toys that could be compared in the 21st Century are the Ghostbusters minimates from Art Asylum/Diamond Select.

It seems surprising today that Lego didn’t produce Ghostbusters or The Real Ghostbuster Lego toys and sets during the series run. A little research for Lego toys based on movie properties in the 1980s didn’t come up with anything conclusive.

In the twenty teens fans may get Ghostbusters Legos yet. Cuusoo is a Lego community that designs and support Lego toys that their members and definitely others would want to see be made. This wouldn’t necessarily be newsworthy for Ectocontainment,™ except for a couple of things. They’re coming up with ideas for potential Ghostbusters legos (like the Ecto-1 above) and Cuusoo has the ear of Lego.

Really? Yes! After 10,000 people signed one of Cuusoo’s petitions for Minecraft Lego agreed they would look into that properties license. If Cuusoo’s Ghostbusters petition reaches 10,000 supporters (155 + as of February 17, 2012) Lego will evaluate the possibility of acquiring the rights to make a Ghostbusters Lego series.

Please check it out. sign the petition, and share it through your choice of social media.
