Yo, so if there are any other kickstarter supporters that follow me, I just got an e-mail from them indicating that rewards will now finally be mailed out. update your addresses within the next 40 hours if you need to.
Wanna know how you can put more Gravity Falls in the world?
No? Well keep reading anyways!
As you know, there’s a tragic shortage of Gravity Falls merchandise. If you want anything you have to order it custom-made from the Disney store, and even then they only have season 1 stuff – you can’t even get a Bill Cipher anything!
Here is our chance to tell Disney we want something. It’s not a silly petition or anything like that – oh no, this is something far more direct. Behold!
THE SHACKTRON LEGO SET!
LEGO user BrickZfrom9to5 designed this shortly after the finale aired, and submitted it to LEGO Ideas to have it greenlit for production! If he can get 10,000 supporters, then the design will be submitted for approval. Take a tour with me!
The LEGO Shacktron features custom-made signage that is taken directly from the show itself.
It will also feature LEGO figurines of the cast! Pictured here (left to right and front to back) are Dipper Pines, Mabel Pines, Waddles, Candy Chiu, Wendy Corduroy, Grunkle Stan, Soos Ramirez, Grenda, Fiddleford “Old Man” McGucket, Alex Hirsch, and Pacifica Northwest. Not all the designs are finalized (due to the restrictions of existing figurine designs) but already the models look great!
How impressive is this project? Why, none other than ALEX HIRSCH himself praised the LEGO set on his Twitter feed. Let me repeat that: it is Alex approved!
Now, the question remains: how far are we from making this a buyable reality? Out of 10,000 supporters needed, BrickZfrom9to5 has 1,352 supporters. That’s not bad so far, but we need even more! If you want to see this get one step closer to hitting store shelves, then we need YOUR help!
To support the project directly, you simply need to make a LEGO account. It’s 100% free and very easy! Then go to this link to view the project, and hit that big blue “SUPPORT” button. Boom!
