I tend to let CUUSOO projects go viral before I pay much attention to them, but in the case of this LEGO City Store by RayC, I’m glad I can help spread the word in its early stages. Built in the tradition of LEGO’s modular buildings (spoiler: they fit together and are really expensive), this LEGO Store is as cute as it is meta.
LEGO has said that it looks for projects on CUUSOO that would be best as a one-off, rather than a whole new product line. If the LEGO City Store project reaches 10,000 supporters, I doubt they would be able to resist making this an actual product. How cool would it be to see a modular LEGO Store for sale at a regular-type LEGO Store?
I love the attention to detail in RayC’s set, like the T-Rex statue, the miniature sets on the second floor, and the working elevator. My wife and I are currently putting together the Town Hall, and it’s really fun building a huge, awesome-looking set. I’d totally get a LEGO Store to put next to it.
After it gets a few hundred more supporters LEGO will add some official comments, and it will be interesting to see what they have to say about it.
