User blog:Green Ninja/LEGO CUUSOO to Become LEGO Ideas (Support LEGO CP!)

Hello, I have to say some things. You might think it has nothing to do with Club Penguin, but it does. And it will affect you all if we don't do something. The following is copied directly from the LEGO CUUSOO Project page.

Since October 2012, a petition to get a Club Penguin LEGO building set produced has been active on the website LEGO CUUSOO. LEGO CUUSOO is a website where users can submit ideas for new LEGO products. Every idea that acquires 10,000 supporters will be reviewed to see if the license is reachable and it is a brand fit.

The original projects came from an account called TeamCP. The first project to come out of the account was one based on the Town Center, which was deleted for unknown reasons and then revived. Since then, more projects were produced based on nearly every location on the island. During those months, the project became known by some of the Club Penguin staff, including Spike Hike. They said that they would try to support the projects in any way they can. On January 7, 2014, all projects with the exception of the original were deleted, as the team wanted to help make a LEGO Club Penguin set possible, and focusing on getting one out would lift those chances. The project has been promoted on many popular fan blogs. On March 23, 2014, Spike Hike confirmed that the team had been working on a model and had hired one team member to be in charge. However, that person changed their mind, and a new builder was found to work on the project.

Do you know who created these projects? That is right: me. I've tried for months to get people to support, but nothing seems to be working. Well, it's time to get serious. The 6 year beta period on the Cuusoo platform is over: on 30th April, LEGO is going to bring its customer suggestion programme in-house and rename it LEGO Ideas. There's a bunch of other changes too, the most significant of which is that projects will have just a year to achieve 10,000 supporters after which time they will be deleted.

What can you do to help?


 * 1) Support right here. How do you support, you ask? If you already have a Facebook or Twitter account, you can create an account with no hassle at all using that login. If not, it only takes about a minute to make a CUUSOO account to support a project. To support, just click the big green SUPPORT button on the page I linked, and login. Then, fill out the little form with how much you would pay, how many sets you would buy, and why you like the project. Supporting does not obligate you to buy the product once it has been released. Just see the images below if you do not understand.
 * 2) Advertise! Post it on your fan cheats blog. Tweet it out with #LEGOCP. Tell your Facebook friends! Tell your real life friends! Tell everybody on wiki chat! Just do it. There are links under the support button so you can share this project easily.



Why should you support? For a few reasons, actually.


 * 1) There hasn't been new Club Penguin merchandise in so long! Don't you want to fill that gap with something awesome, like LEGO? Everyone loves LEGO! At least, I hope they do.
 * 2) You'll be doing a favor for the entire community. Wouldn't it prove how amazing Club Penguin players are to have 10,000 people support and change the history of the game forever?
 * 3) It doesn't hurt to support. Even if you don't want a Club Penguin LEGO set, just be nice and help! It only takes a minute or two.

I hope you take the time to help. Let's do this!
