LEGO CUUSOO

Oook! Oook. Oook!

Translation:

Wow! You guys are so awesome! Thank you for getting this fan project 13% of the way to review and into the top 3% of Projects on Cuusoo! Very special thanks to linuxlibrarian for getting Sir Pratchett's attention with a tweet that was heard round the world!

Plead!

Thank you so much for visiting but this project can only get produced with votes! Registering only takes a few minutes, If you already have a facebook or twitter account you can create an account with no hassle at all using that login. Lego won't send you ads or spam and they won't sell your email.
***************************************************************************************************
Goals for the future:

I will try to print and color one figure a week so you might want to come back...or follow me on twitter for updates. Since publishing this project I have updated the Librarian and Sam Vimes.

What is all this about then?

This is a campaign to produce an official Discworld Lego set, producing fan conceived Lego sets is the point of Cuusoo. Projects really only have a shot at getting produced if they "go viral" to some extent. So please consider tweeting the project (and tweet again a few days later to pick up stragglers!), sharing on Facebook, directly contact esteemed individuals (like Sacharissa Cripslock) an webpages that are cool enough to talk about the Discworld, and send it up every Clack tower you can find. Even use one of Moist von Lipwig new fangled stamps....of course, a campaign to create such a Lego set would be so awesome and unpredictable that we really should avoid bringing it to the attention of the Auditors of Reality, so do your best to keep them from finding out.

What is Cuusoo?

There is a good chance that you have happened upon this page without knowing anything about Cuusoo. Cuusoo is a site where people submit ideas for new Lego sets. If the project can get 10,000 Supporters then Lego will review the projected. If Lego likes the idea then they will create their own version of the project (in this case the Discworld with a few minifigs throw in) and mass produce it to make it available to fans.

So, if you would like to see Lego produce the Discworld, then please create an account and support this project.

What is Discworld? (If you know, skip to the next part)

Sorry for all the boilerplate stuff above but I only have this one shot to explain to you, the person reading these words right now (hopefully) what is going on.

IF you already know and love Discworld, you can jump down to the next image and the minifigure templates and variations of the Luggage, etc...otherwise keep reading for a description of the Discworld.

For those of you that have not heard of the Discworld before, then congratulations, you are now that much more experienced. It is an ongoing series of books (and multimedia extravaganza!) by Sir Terry Pratchett.

Discworld is an ongoing "comic fantasy" written by Sir Terry Pratchett. The setting of the series, (as the name implies) is disc that is balanced on four elephants which are, in turn, on the back of a giant turtle, the Great A'Tuin.

The books are inspired by our own history, literary classics of ALL breeds, and of course mythology. The stories, while rooted in the fantastic use wry wit and cunning satire to tell very compelling narratives.

The Discworld has spawned no less than:

39+ Novels (70 million copies sold in 37 languages)
3 Movies
4 Graphic Novels
6 Video Games
2 RPG supplements
1 Cook Book

More detailed information about the credentials of the series can be found here.

A lot more details about the narrative and fiction of Discworld can be found here.

Quite frankly I suggest the books to anyone who enjoys...well, anything really. Any that goes double for those who DON'T like anything.
