The LEGO Cuusoo website has officially closed down, but don’t worry; LEGO has transformed the Cuusoo experience into a new site called LEGO Ideas. The site works the same way as the original, but focuses on a more LEGO-like experience such as using existing LEGO IDs.
The site is now live at http://ideas.lego.com and all existing projects have been moved across.
There is a blog post on the site with more details of the change, but here is a quick overview
What’s different on LEGO Ideas?
- Your project now has one year from the day you post it to reach 10,000 supporters. Projects that don’t reach 10,000 supporters within 365 days of being posted will automatically expire and no longer accept new supporters. If this happens, you’re welcome to re-submit the project and work to gain 10,000 fresh supporters again within a one year period. Projects carried over from LEGO CUUSOO will keep their existing supporters and have until May 1st, 2015 to qualify.
- If you are between 13-18 years old you can now create and submit projects. If your project reaches 10,000 supporters, we will require written permission from a parent or legal guardian before your project is considered in the LEGO Review.
- Introducing “Clutch Power.” As you participate on LEGO Ideas, you will earn points and badges that become your “Clutch Power”. The more you support, share, or create, the higher your Clutch Power points will be, and the more badges you will earn.
