Success!

Remember a few weeks ago, when I asked you to show your support for a LEGO Wizard of Oz set that was developed by a Kansas City LEGO Master Builder? If ten thousand people supported it, it would go on to the next stage, and LEGO would look into the possibility of actually making it. Well, guess what? Mission accomplished! Now, this is not a guarantee that it will actually get made. There are all kinds of obstacles in the way. But it does have the blessing of Warner Bros., and I think it has a pretty good shot of actually happening. So watch this space (and the LEGO section of your favorite store).

Support This Project!

Here is something very cool that both my wife (the family LEGO nut) and I want to see happen. Jeremiah Boehr is a Master LEGO Designer in Kansas City, and he's created an extremely awesome Wizard of Oz set and submitted it to a site where people can pledge their support. If a project gets enough support, it gets considered by the nice folks at LEGO and possibly made into a set. Since Jeremiah also has the backing of Warner Bros., this could actually happen. He's done a great job — I especially like his design for Dorothy — and we want to get it! (And, hopefully, any follow-up sets in the future! Hmm, Kansas sets done in sepia tones...) So please, this Oz fan and his LEGO fan wife ask you to go take a look at this set and pledge your support. Then, spread the word! We need as many Oz (and movie?) fans to support this as possible. Thanks.
