It’s hard to think of CUUSOO without the LEGO in front of it, but apparently that’s happening/has happened.   The LEGO Group has announced that the 5+ year experiment that has been LEGO® CUUSOO has been such a great success that they are…terminating their relationship with the Japanese crowd-sourcing site.   That is to say, effective April 30, LEGO is taking everything they have learned from the CUUSOO experience and bringing it in house as LEGO® Ideas. CUUSOO.com will apparently continue creating mechanisms to materialize wishes in a non-LEGO capacity.

ありがとう, CUUSOO…and thanks for the memories.  Long live LEGO® Ideas!
