In the latest edition of Weekend Extras!, I posted about some really cool Shaun of the Dead LEGO that has recently surfaced online. Well, earlier today we received some pretty cool mail in response to that post:

Hello! This is a message for Kervyn in reaction to his post Weekend Extras!

My name is Greg/Yatkuu and I’m the guy who built the Winchester in Lego… I’m 34 and I live in Belgium.

First of all I wanted to thank you for blogging my pictures and for the kind words.

Both Simon Pegg & Edgar Wright tweeted my pics, Edgar even posted it on his blog…

Needless to say that my Flickr exploded… and as a fan of these guys I feel like I’ve been living a dream during these past few days!

Anyway, I’m contacting you because I have piece of info that could be of interest to you and your readers…

If you liked “the Win” in Lego it could one day become a real official Lego set – I’m not kidding.

It’s actually fairly simple:

A few months ago Lego launched a website named CUUSOO, it’s a platform where fans can post their creations. The community can then vote for the ideas they like best, if a project gets enough supporters Lego will consider making it a real set – how’s that for a slice of fried gold?

I already have the support of Edgar and Simon but I need to let the community know about this… here is the link to the Winchester project on CUUSOO:

http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/7451

People need to register before they can cast their vote, it’s free and it only takes 2 minutes.

There is a “tweet” option from the CUUSOO webpage – this is probably the best way to spread the word.

Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Cheers,

Greg
