So, I saw this post this morning and it pushed me over the edge…I couldn’t keep my new animation a secret any longer. I just released this set of teaser posters for my upcoming Portal 2 animation, and I hope to use the publicity to bring more attention to the Lego Portal Cuusoo project, as well as my own endeavors.

@t-brick

I hadn’t seen your thing. It also looks good, and would probably be more likely to be made by LEGO. I actually doubt that the posted project would be accepted, given it is more like a theme (and all the new parts), but there’s always a chance!

@Marin

I’m more of a TECHNIC and MindStorms guy than brick-building, but I do think that a teal-some-other-color scheme would look cool ;-)

Admit it guys, you just want teal back from the dead.

^ As much as I like the interesting mix of ideas in this new project, I do think your project is more in the general spirit of LEGO CUUSOO ideas (a single kit, not a theme).

Personally, I’m done publicly supporting CUUSOO projects that would require a license. TLG has demonstrated over and over that they tend to cut those off as soon as they hit 10K, and getting excited about it (as I would be about LEGO Portal) just isn’t worth it. :-\

It’s cool that you’re giving this project so much support, but I’d like to point out that there’s already a Portal 2 CUUSOO project since January that had more than 700 supporters before this one came up:

It uses just existing LEGO bricks and so would be much easier for LEGO to produce. Also, as far as I understand, LEGO searches ideas for single sets rather than whole new product lines.

So it would be nice to get some support for this one, too :-)

I really like the Portal games. I’m currently learning to map with Hammer, almost immediately finding the PTI editor too limiting. It’s like LEGO building, but in a limitless world that you design, and you can take on the role of the Minifig (Chell) and go wherever you want. Cmon, you can’t tell me you’ve never wished you’re a Minifig, can you? Haven’t you always wanted to be small enough to fit in your creations? I can’t possibly be the only one? O_o
