Cuusoo is Japanese, 空想 = kuusou or "imagination." The ONLY fucking bone Lego has EVER thrown us people living in goddamn Japan. Did they ever make a Japan-only LEGO something for me to sell on J-List? Hell no!

What's weird is before I even went to the main page I had Power of Love stuck in my head for no apparent reason.
And to think of all the versions of the DeLoran i used to build as a kid... I'm not even gonna lie those look smaller than all DeLoran's i made on my own but still, nice details and the figures are sweet.
Apparently, Lego Doc wants to pick up the ladies on the cheap with his Miata-sized DeLorean, given how short it seems.
I am rock hard for the bttf 2 Delorean.
I also want a set depicting Biff's cr crashing into the manure truck, if only to see how Lego makes horseshit.
It's not a guarantee - in addition to licensing, they can just choose not to do it because of Reasons, as they did with the Shaun of the Dead set that ALSO got 10,000 votes (and the support of Simon Pegg)
"Possibility?" Try probability. Mattel is goingt to want to set up a BttF Subscription Service, you know.
I would like the chances for these better, if not for Cuusoo completely dropping the Shawn of the Dead set last Friday.
Back to the Future is far more kid friendly than Shaun of the Dead. Lego's main problem in that case was that it's not suitable for their core audience - even all their collector oriented sets are still kid friendly.
I don't see it happening. There are only 3 sets depicted here which are with minor variations the same exact set. That's not really Lego's marketing approach. Maybe if they did some cafe and train sets too?
It's at the cuusoo site. (which always reminds me of the Emperor's New Groove), but let's face it, LEGO is not going to make this. It's just not profitable enough for them.
Honestly, Lego should go the Kickstarter route and just produce little projects like these and make the customer who wants them, pay a premium price for them. It seems to work pretty well for other boutique toys and games, so it may work for Lego and give super-nerds the chance to fund, say, a "the Thing" set.
Sorry to burst the bubble, but The DeLorean foundation would probably want too much money
Don't most models just call it the Time Machine? My 1:18 "BttF2" DeLorean is just called Time Machine on the packaging (as are the "BttF" 1 and 2 Versions i've seen).
Is that because John DeLorean still hasn't kicked the habit? Any time I think of him, I always remember I Love the 80's using "White Lies" during their little vignette about his car and company.
I was gonna say can't he be distract him by waving a bag filled with a white powder in front of his face, befor throwing it in the opposit direction?
