+0000https://nickwang.blog/2011/01/13/the-worlds-1st-user-generated-lego-set-to-go/<p>Been wanting to share this but couldn&rsquo;t until now!  Early this week, the official announcement for the LEGO Shinkai 6500 Adventure Set finally went out from <a href="http://blog.cuusoo.com/LEGO/news/2011/01/11120000.html">Cuusoo.com</a> and from <a href="http://market.lego.com/ja-jp/news/201101.aspx">LEGO Japan</a>.</p> <p>We here at Cuusoo.com are all very proud of this achievement!  In a sense, this is even more impressive than the best selling <a href="http://www.muji.net/store/cmdty/section/S10305">MUJI bean bag sofa</a>, as that was designed by a professional designer.  This LEGO Shinkai product wasn&rsquo;t created by some LEGO professionals or even an AFOL (Adult Fans of LEGO) member, there&rsquo;s actually a very interesting story behind this, the creator is actually more interested in deep sea life forms than the submarine itself!  More info will be published by my friends at <a href="http://brickjournal.com/">Brick Journal</a> and <a href="http://xl.repubblica.it/">XL magazine</a> soon.</p> <p>Sent out a few boxes to my friends in the US and South Africa.  (Flickr picture here from Harper.  Com&rsquo;on guys!
