Peter Reid Exo Suit
Hey all,
I've just been doing a happy dance all day since I saw the news that LEGO chose Pete Reid's Exo Suit as the next Cuusoo set. I take back every negative thing I've ever even thought about Cuusoo - I'm just so pleased they picked a true AFOL set that's not based on an IP. I just hope the ultimate set doesn't get dumbed down from Pete's original.

Re: Peter Reid Exo Suit
I don't care how dumbed down the mech is (Okay, maybe I care a little), I will be buying this. This was the only CUUSOO thing I ever voted for.

Re: Peter Reid Exo Suit
I may be in the minority, but I really don't like it. I have zero interest in that. And I have yet to buy a cuusoo set and if it keeps continuing this way, I probably won't. There are other sets that I would have preferred much more.

Re: Peter Reid Exo Suit
I'm kinda in the middle. I haven't been hugely into mechs and such, but this is really cool!

Re: Peter Reid Exo Suit
I agree with Aeridian. I am not the biggest fan of mechs, but this thing is just too cool! I am definitely looking forward to this amazing set!

Re: Peter Reid Exo Suit
I'm very pleased that this will become a set for one I like mechs and it has a classic space. Can't wait till 2014.

Re: Peter Reid Exo Suit
This definitely feels like a win for the AFOL community, but whether that translates into sales remains to be seen. TLG must seem to think it will.
I'll be interested to see how much it changes between the submitted idea and final product.

Re: Peter Reid Exo Suit
Pete is a close and local lego buddy, so I guess I'm a bit biased, but I'm well pleased for him. Can't wait to see it on the self.

Pretty happy with the overall look, the included mini figures, and the cute turtle.

Re: Peter Reid Exo Suit
The final version looks so sweet, I can't wait to get my hands on one. I like the fact that they've included minifigs that are virtually from the Classic Space line, and the turtle is a nice touch. The best bit...the suit itself looks very similar to the original build!
For the Glory of Loreos!

Re: Peter Reid Exo Suit
I ordered two Exosuits which was the maximum. They are already on back-order, so you may wish to hurry if you want one.
