What's Shaun of the Dead? I know of Shaun the Zombie Killer at Brickarms...

Posted by Modok in United States, 31 Mar 2012 12:39

@itsaturkey - Shaun of the Dead is a funny British "zombie comedy" movie starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. (It's also got plenty of violence, too, which is probably what makes Lego nervous.)

As for Lego's response, there's an official comment on the entry's Cuusoo page that includes this:
---
Wow! Congratulations on a great run to 10,000 supporters this week, fueled by actor Simon Pegg's mentions on Conan and Twitter! We admire your passion and enthusiasm for the film Shaun of the Dead, and your desire to see a LEGO set of the Winchester.

In our previous message, we noted that due to the themes behind Shaun of the Dead, there would need to be some significant internal discussion for us to agree to produce this as a product. Please understand that this discussion has yet to take place, and while we appreciate your work and celebrate this big success with you, we are not guaranteeing production.

But for now, we celebrate. So without further adieu, we congratulate you on achieving 10,000 supporters and officially advance this project to the Review phase.

How's that for a slice of fried gold?
----

If I had to guess, at some point they're going to review the whole Cuusoo concept and possibly dump it. As you can see, a mention from a prominent celebrity goosed the vote from about 6,400 to over 10,000 in a few days. There's nothing wrong with that as far as I'm concerned--the more Lego, the better--but I have a feeling that's not what Lego intended for what was supposed to be a grassroots program.

It should also be noted that the 10,000 votes only guarantees Lego will review it, not approve it. There are still multiple ways for them to get around the vote by rejecting it for "playability, safety, and fit with the LEGO brand."

Given that Lego has already sold a zombie minifig, and has based themes on mummies, vampires and other undead creatures, I don't see Shaun of the Dead as that much of a stretch. There's no reason they couldn't sell it on their own site and just post a disclaimer or something.

^ Shaun the zombie killer of Brickarms is from a moive called "Shawn of the Dead". The Winchester pub model was featured on TV by Simon Pegg on the Conan O’Brien show. It was also talked about by the director of Shawn of the dead, Edgar Wright. These two events probably helped propell this model into the next stage of Cuusoo, the review stage.

EDIT: Dang, you beat me too it Modok!

I wonder if this will turn out like the minecraft project. A whole lot of people that like it but aren't really going to buy it. It is very easy to get a whole community outside of lego to become interested in supporting something that they like already. I think they will run into this problem every time a licensed them is being voted on. The western modular town doesn't really have a built in audience elsewhere and I believe its numbers show the actual support level for that model.

Posted by madforLEGO in United States, 31 Mar 2012 12:57

Wow, I cannot believe that someone (even in the US) did not know of 'Shaun of the Dead'

As for the set:
Depends if blood is involved.... Seeing as they are doing 'Monster hunters' I would not see why they could not do this set as part of that line, but then again that line may be long gone before they actually could product this set for the masses

The western set would be nice IF they make a Western theme. Will LEGO do an entire western theme based on one set?
Doubt it. Again my guess is any set would need to mesh with an existing line somehow, but that is just my opinion

This would be absolutely fantastic, not only because we would get a few zombies, but also hopefully a lovely pub in the shape of the Winchester!

Having not seen the movie, I am not an authority on the movie or the level of "non-family" content the film contains. However, there have been numerous legos produced that are bloodless versions of something that could be inappropriate to younger audience. For example the battle of helms deep scenes in the Lord of the Rings are violent, and included in the new line. Mill Village raid features a bunch of soldiers pillaging a little farm scene. Jousts were fairly violent back in the day as well. Not to mention the numerous pirate themed sets, when historically pirates were often thieves, rapists, and murderers. Legos can be "non-family" themed, it just depends on the presentation. Not to mention there have already been zombie Legos.

Frankly, I am okay with a group outside of Lego becoming excited by a Lego set. Getting more adults, teens, and kids interested can only benefit the Lego community. As more people are interested and buy sets, Lego will be motivated to branch out even further and create more variety of themes. The success of Star Wars probably led to Harry Potter and LOTR sets. And while I have not purchased the Friends theme (the colors sure look pretty, can't get behind the fig), that is certainly a new Lego venture. As Lego's popularity changes as new audiences and fans find Lego (or find Lego again) this can have the potential to benefit the whole community.

I am sure there are enough Zombie fans that would be interested in buying the set, so I think it could be profitable if the set is found by Lego to fit the brand image they wish to maintain.

Posted by CapnRex101 in United Kingdom, 31 Mar 2012 13:40

The film contains a bit of what you could call 'graphic violence' but it certainly should not be enough to prevent Lego making this set. It would sell incredibly well and of course we would all love to see it made so if Lego refuse to make it then Lego will have missed a trick.

Posted by snoboarder31 in United States, 31 Mar 2012 13:46

Seriously cuusoo has been a big disappointment. EVE Online and Shaun of the Dead (NEITHER of which are plausible lego themes) skyrocket when they are proposed and yet the Legend of Zelda page takes weeks to get a few thousand?

*sigh*.

Posted by lylesbk in United States, 31 Mar 2012 13:54

I have a feeling that in order for a set to reach 10000 votes it has to have a built in fan base outside of Lego. I seriously doubt that 1/10 of the people that voted would track it down a year from now and pay $150 for it. I would get it just for the pieces as I usually do.

Posted by Ben J in Germany, 31 Mar 2012 13:56

If they produce it, I'd totally buy it.

They made a zombie for the collectable minifigs, and more zombies for the POTC theme, so they shouldn't have a problem with this.

Posted by cassidyarch in United States, 31 Mar 2012 14:00

I think cuusoo's future with fan-service sets like this is going to hinge on how well that MINECRAFT set sells. If that set doesn't do well, I imagine LEGO will pull the plug on fan-service/celebrity endorsed cuusoo sets--and maybe cuusoo itself.

So if you want to see more cuusoo sets in the future, you should probably force yourself to buy that MINECRAFT set.

Posted by scratchdesk in United States, 31 Mar 2012 14:08

I am not too keen on the Minecraft Cuusoo but I'll buy one or two of them to support the project. Same with the Shaun of the Dead set, though I like that one better.

Posted by Graysmith in Sweden, 31 Mar 2012 14:18

I don't see why Shaun of the Dead would be a problem, really. LEGO has already produced a zombie for the Collectable Minifigures theme, so for zombies they could just use a few variations on that one. If they then keep blood spatter off of the characters there's really nothing about it that would be any more violent or graphic than their own action themes. Plus, being a CUUSOO set it's not like this would be sold at your local Toys R Us among the regular LEGO sets. There aren't going to be any kids getting this for Christmas by accident.

Posted by lippidp in United States, 31 Mar 2012 14:26

Never heard of it. Without knowing anything about the show or movie or whatever it is the model is uninteresting. Pass.

Posted by avacadoturban in United Kingdom, 31 Mar 2012 14:39

To be fair, Star Wars (especially the prequel trilogy) has quite a bit of darkness in it (e.g., a half-burnt Anakin in Ep.III), and let's not forget the Monster Hunters theme this year (and the Classic Universal Studios sets), so it really shouldn't be a problem. Personally, I've lost count of the number of scar-faced Darth Vaders I've got.

Bring it to life LEGO!

Posted by Nesquik in United Kingdom, 31 Mar 2012 14:57

The majority of people that voted for this 'Shaun of the Dead' concept were likely too immature/naive/to understand the important principles of research, design and production at TLG.

Many have referred to Cuusoo as being a disappointment, and whilst I don't believe that to be entirely true, the 'Shaun of the Dead' concept has, in my opinion, only highlighted one of the major faults of the website. I don't wish to hurt or criticise anyone, but I like to view events such as this without rose tinted goggles.

The fact of the matter is, Cuusoo is open source, which means that anyone can join, post or comment on the website. With no means to filter age groups, TLG have let themselves in for the first flaw, which is that the mature members (adults) are constantly at a tug-of-war with the younger members. This conflict exists because, more often than not, both age groups want different things. In addition, I have noticed every time that I go on the website that it appears the younger members bypass the Terms and Conditions constantly. They continue to post 'projects' referring to discontinued products, questions (yes, even questions!) and ideas that have almost no reference to typical Lego models.

Because all this content is mixed with the more mature projects that have had care and attention paid to them, there is just one big (literal) mess on the Discover page, and this makes it harder to pick out projects that are generally worthy of attention.

Another conflict is expectation.

"tHis is like the coolest ideas ever!!!!! legos could put 20 minifigs in there and it would be awesome!!!"

I apologise for the generalisation, but it is based on observation. These are the kinds of comments that litter so many projects because no-one is moderating their usefulness or validity. The younger members are unfortunately naive enough to believe that TLG could release a product containing a tiny model and twenty minifigs, because they don't understand the costs involved or the production values.

What's more, the over-excitedness of anything to do with some form of licensed brand gets very tedious, and this brings us straight back to the 'Shaun of the Dead' project. Since the original project was based on a film, the community immediately started to get excited because... well, it's based on a film with cringeworthy humour.

Great! As a MOC. But let's be serious - as a product?

AFOLS produce these kinds of buildings or projects regularly, yet they never get attention. Yet because someone submits a concept that refers to a mildly funny film (again, only my personal opinion - I'm sure not everyone likes Star Wars!), everyone craves the idea of owning a product relating to it, whilst forgetting some important points that contribute to the success of Lego products.

1. Construction. Every Lego set that is released, no matter how big or small, goes through a system of research and testing to challenge how enjoyable the build was. The modulars as an example have been a huge success not just because of the final product and the attention to detail, but because of clever building techniques that represent the personality of that architecture. A small pub with no value, importance or cultural relevance is hardly my idea of fun.

2. Playability. So you build this bland, characterless 'pub' (yawn) on a street. And you assemble some minifigures relating to zombies and a few of the main cast.

OK... Oh, that's it? Y'know technically I could build something equally as 'bland' - the 10221 Super Star Destroyer, which let's face it, is just a massive grey model with looks like the top of a spear. But why is so amazing? Because the design lends itself to something of importance. The Star Wars saga isn't just a phenomena, it's engrained in cultural history. 'Shaun of the Dead' was a cheap comedy that will likely be forgotten by half the extras in 20-years time.

3. Commerciality. How do you try and sell a product that originates from a 15-Rated movie to children, and THEY'RE the ones supporting the project? This is where I scratch my head. I read a

Posted by Nesquik in United Kingdom, 31 Mar 2012 15:01

I read a few interesting comments on Cuusoo.

"how can dis be violent when we have star wars, isnt that violent too???"

"Ninjangas are ninjas, they're violent so i thinks shaun if the dead is ok"

True. But the difference is TLG doesn't promote violence, and any theme even slightly relating to the former is portrayed in a comical way. Stormtroopers are bumbling fools, Ninjas have their strengths and weaknesses (which inevitably lessen the reasons for absolute combat) and even the CITY theme will never contain guns. Granted, this 'Shaun of the Dead' concept does not contain direct references to violence, but the fact of the matter is that the concept was born from a film which entertained viewers from that theme.

By this logic, I could submit a project for "The Ultimate Collectors Edition: Texas Chainsaw Massacre Hideout". Yep - this project is going to feature Buffalo Bill chasing some helpless teens through an old house (a la' pub), but it's OK because a chainsaw isn't included in the set. Very cool.

Apologies for the essay, but Cuusoo has some flaws that really bug me, because if one project can be lept into the 'Consideration' phase through social media and a lack of awareness for how TLG operates, then what hope is there for projects that actually set realistic targets? The modular Western theme is an exception here, but the future does not bode well unless Lego wise up to the fact that filtering - of any kind - is badly needed.

Posted by rnsrobot in Canada, 31 Mar 2012 15:05

@miniroll32 - SOTD isn't for everybody, but quit knocking it like your opinion of it somehow directly relates to its success as a LEGO property. There are tons of people out there who absolutely love that flick, above and beyond disposable entertainment. It's a brilliant film that plays with the sensibilities of the zombie genre. Again you don't have to like it but the sniping in your post, which had some good points, is pretty condescending and tiresome.

Posted by Jayko543 in United States, 31 Mar 2012 15:05

Cuusoo is going down the dump IMHO... Unless they can get their act together, licensed sets are the only thing that will ever get passed in such the short period (or even at all) that this pub did. I have never seen the movie, granted (never will, most likely), so I don't know how it got the votes so fast.

Personally, I think anything related to licensing should be removed, to give way to the truly good ideas instead of all these "brand boosters".

Putting licensing aside, this is a very well built pub, and I'm sure will be a welcome addition to the modular line of buildings.

Posted by Nesquik in United Kingdom, 31 Mar 2012 15:07

"but quit knocking it like your opinion of it somehow directly relates to its success as a LEGO property."

I never once said, or proposed, that my opinions were above anyone else's.

"There are tons of people out there who absolutely love that flick, above and beyond disposable entertainment."

Absolutely. Although for a product like 'Shaun of the Dead' to evolve into something above and beyond disposable entertainment would mean that it has set a landmark in cultural history, which it most certainly has not.

"Again you don't have to like it but the sniping in your post, which had some good points, is pretty condescending and tiresome."

I laid down my points fairly, and if you don't agree, feel free to say so.

Posted by Nesquik in United Kingdom, 31 Mar 2012 15:13

Hi Jayko543,

I agree - a standalone pub without licensing could actually be an interesting project, as it wouldn't have to negate to any particular branding. I like the idea that someone could 'spruce' up their own building with cosy decor and features, such as a dart board, tables, cellar and more.

Posted by Legolover9531 in United States, 31 Mar 2012 15:13

I highly doubt this will pass because Shaun of the Dead is rated R.

Posted by Redbullgivesuwind in United Kingdom, 31 Mar 2012 15:32

They really needto get a hold of this lisenced set issue, seeing as theyhave to pay to make a film or tv set everytime. This is only going to push up the cost of all the sets in general as lego push up the price to mainatin profits. Also as good as the sets can be to me it shows a massive lack of imagination on these peoples parts imo.

Posted by cheshirecat in United Kingdom, 31 Mar 2012 15:38

Do you like every single set LEGO release? I know I sure as hell don't. If you don't like it fine, don't get it. I think its a great model - will I buy it at £150 almost certainly not, but then I've never bought a modular or bigger set either. However, this doesn't have to be the final design - TLG can tinker with it, improve the build, stick within a piece/price point etc or even not release it.

Shaun of the dead is a comedy set in a zombie genre (which is rarely if ever a full on horror genre) its definitely not a horror film. The violence depicted in the set which to be honest will probably be targeted at the late teen/20's/30's male market is far less than the Ninjago starter sets which is aimed at 5-7 year old children. Some perspective is needed.

As for the licencing cost, it gives TLG a brilliant out - if the rights holder demands a share that Lego can say to the public is too much they can just say no to the release and have a ready made excuse. Walk away having had little to no time/resources invested. It would be much much harder to say no to a non licensed CUUSSO project that makes the 10,000.

Posted by Modok in United States, 31 Mar 2012 16:30

@miniroll32 - If you don't like the set, SOTD, Cuusoo or whatever, that's fine, but you don't need to trash the designer (Yatkuu) to make your point. It's unbecoming.

If the pub is "bland," it's only because that's how it looked in the movie. It's not like he could've added trap doors, translucent neon bricks or other things people may find more "exciting." The Winchester itself was a drab old pub, and this set recreates it.

However, Yatkuu did get to use his imagination on the second and third floors, and they really are quite excellent--certainly on par with (or surpassing) what we get in the actual modulars.

Sigh... "without further adieu" -- really, LEGO? It's "without further ADO".

"I cannot believe that someone (even in the US) did not know of 'Shaun of the Dead'." I can, it's not like the movie made a gazillion dollars. What I can't believe, is that people who lack this kind of knowledge decide not to use Google and instead proclaim their lack of knowledge. So they're curious enough about the subject to ask about it in a reply to a post, but not enough to enter the search term into Google -- why?

Posted by meyerc13 in United States, 31 Mar 2012 16:40

I don't understand why people think Shaun of the Dead fans rallying behind the concept is a problem, isn't that the point of Cuusoo? This is the fourth set to accumulate enough votes to go to the LEGO jury, and all four have had a non-LEGO outside fanbase voting for them.

What's different here is that this is the first that has a traditional LEGO look and feel to it. The first three have no appeal to me, they just don't look like LEGO sets.

I think a lot of traditional LEGO fans who have never heard of the movie will buy this set. Some because of it's modular style, some for the parts, some because they love zombies and can never get enough (although that crowd probably has heard of the movie)...

This is exactly what LEGO wanted, and this set has the best chance of selling of any Cuusoo project so far.

Posted by legodude in United States, 31 Mar 2012 19:40

This so not going to become an actual product by LEGO, nice try though, they will never make a set based off an R rated movie ever. I wonder of how many people who voted are actually going to buy it if it were to make it as an official product? Very few. LOTR, SW, POTC and Indiana Jones are all MEGA iconic brands, not some d class movie that is a actually a spoof should be made as a LEGO set, ridiculous. Also do not compare it to those themes, as those films are rated PG-13 not R. Hopefully TLG will realize this and dump the CUUSOO idea as Minecraft and this are fails.

Posted by Tradeylouish in New Zealand, 31 Mar 2012 20:45

Personally I think LEGO Cuusoo is a good opportunity for TLG to start marketing some more sets to a teenage/adult audience. It should be considered that you must be at least 13 to make an account, and at least 18 to create a project (although I acknowledge that many ignore this rule), so LEGO is trying to gauge the interests of a more mature audience through Cuusoo. There may be issues with this set being sold on shelves, but I believe that this, and other sets like it, could be sold through the LEGO website without too much fuss. After all, you must be over 18 to buy sets through the LEGO website, and if it is made clear to parents that the set and the movie is not aimed at children, then there shouldn't be any problems.

Posted by fyrmedhatt in United States, 31 Mar 2012 21:51

What Lego decides about this set only time will tell, but hey have promised a serious evaluation of the set, and we all will see what will happen. It becomes very hard to tell what they decide, but you cannot deny that there were A LOT of naysayers that insisted LOTR was far too violent to ever become a Lego theme only seven-eight months ago.

This model and it's success is not what's wrong with CUUSOO, it's designed by an AFOL who has taken great care to make the model realistic, clean, small and simple, it's not just a "please make Shaun of the Dead Legos PLZ!" request like dozens of licensed set suggestions on the site. Yatkuu (the designer) has just been very conscious from the start of the product to advertise the model and has open the last three months blogging his progress, which has included being featured on several geek blogs, being mentioned by the director as well as by Simon Pegg on Conan. Even if you don't like the movie, it's still a nice modular, and so it's also interesting for AFOLs who wouldn't necessarily be familiar with the license it's based on (like me).

Marshal Bananas Western Modulars are non-licensed and given time it will reach 10000 votes, it's already 65% of the way there, so it's not only going to be a tool for licensed sets. It's just with the 10000 votes needed a significant marketing and publicity campaign is needed, I'm sure we will see Brickset, Eurobricks, Brothers Brick and all the other sites will band together yet again to select another model once the modular westerns are accepted, and with time I think more people will participate as they realize the power of the platform.

These kind of products do have great potential for recruiting new AFOLs, with fans of Shaun of the Dead or Minecraft that will buy the model and so figuratively "pop their Lego cherry". As we have seen again and again, many adult fans decide to buy a set, see they like to build and buy lots more.

Congrats to the Shaun of the Dead on Cuusoo. Never heard of it before the win (or the brickarms fig), never heard of minecraft before the Cuusoo win either, so it seems these so called "niche" genres have a solid fanbase. Now if we could get Clint Eastwood to endorse the Western theme we'd be on our way ^_^

Posted by dougts in United States, 01 Apr 2012 03:42

I think LEGO's definitely got a dilemma on their hands with this one, we'll see how they do.

On the Cuusoo in general topic, it certainly seems to be turning into a vehicle to drive more licensed sets. While there isn't anything wrong with licensed sets per se, I personally would like to see more non-licensed projects get pushed up through Cuusoo, as LEGO certainly has no shortage of licenses in it's current and near future product lineups.

Hello everyone,

For those of you who do not know me I’m the guy behind the Winchester project. I have read here some very interesting feedbacks and I would like to thank those of you who supported the project and even defended it!
I also wanted to say a few word in response to some of the critics.
First of all, guys, it’s LEGO - I just built a fun house with plastic bricks. I have seen some people (very few to be honest) take this way too seriously.
I am a very rational person, I submitted this project on CUUSOO because I knew it had the potential to go far and I wanted it to succeed. So yes, I chose a licensed idea but I did not cheat by doing so, it’s in their Usage Guidelines - in other words they ask for licensed ideas. Sure, this may not appeal to every LEGO customer/fan but I think we should all acknowledge that it’s LEGO’s call to go down that road.
In what concern the theme - I know very well that it’s on the edge. In my opinion CUUSOO is a platform to pitch for new ideas and catch the new trends. So yeah, it’s different than what LEGO usually does but it’s the point. Explore new territories, not do the things as LEGO would, they do that very well on their own!
So.. will it happen? I don’t know, I sure hope so.
If anything, this story made a lot of people happy - the momentum was full of positive energy and it probably brought back into the hobby a few if not a lot of people who had forgotten how fun and entertaining LEGO can be and that’s already an accomplishment.

If anyone wants to contact me I’m on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/yatkuu/
...and I’ll keep posting updates on the project on this blog: http://www.makethewinchester.com/

To the WINCHESTER!
Yatkuu

I've got a bright idea: Put an age rating on it! Also The old republic is a 15 and if you remember the force unleashed minifig, Starkiller, had blood splattered across his torso. Lego needs to make this set, it would bring in new fans to the community, make a considerable profit and show that they pay attention to the fans. Also, they don't have to have limbless, gory figures everywhere just make them a little more suitable like the zombie in CM series 1. Plus they could make it part of a "cuusoo" modular street or something that contained a whole load pop culture building. T don't know about you guys but that might be quite cool? Anyway, if lego don't commission this set, I know, they will lose a lot of support on the project as the film has a huge cult following therefore there will be a massive "back-lash" if the project is just "tossed aside".

I don't see why everyone is hating on minecraft. I for one really want the set. But of course that is probally because I love the game.

Another thing is that more people are going to probally buy Lego minecraft because it is like minecraft in real life. That is probally why I like the game it's like digital Lego mixed with fighting and survival. The thing is people who like Shaun of the dead won't buy the Lego version of the set. Because they are all probally to old to play with legos.

Of course what do I know I'm only a kid.
