LEGO CUUSOO: Star Wars Dark Bucket Achieves 10,000 Supporters

 

Star Wars Dark Bucket

The Star Wars Dark Bucket CUUSOO project by Haru has reached 10,000 supporters for it to be reviewed and considered by Lego to be made into an official Lego set or even theme. When it first started off it had Darth Vader and an army of 99 Stormtroopers. Lego made a comment on Haru’s message on 5,000 votes that “it will not be possible to release a set consisting solely of minifigures…and if the Dark Bucket concept were to go further, it would need to include some significant brick-based model component to be considered a construction toy for licensing purposes.”

Star Wars Dark Bottle

After this comment, Haru then revised the project and called it the Star Wars Dark Bottle, which consists of a Darth Vader minifigure and 16 Stormtroopers as well as brick pieces for the minifigures and to spell out the Star Wars logo. The project will now be reviewed in the September session. Now we can only wait and hope for Lego to accept it, so that we can add Darth Vader and 16 Stormtrooper figures to our army.

Congratulations to Haru for this achievement!

What do you think about this idea, would you buy it?
