This LEGO Portal set is not a lie.

Show of hands: who wants an offi­cial LEGO Por­tal set? All of you? I thought so.

You can help make it hap­pen for real by sup­port­ing Brickthing’s amaz­ing LEGO Por­tal project on CUUSOO. All you have to do is sign up for a CUUSOO account, click the green Sup­port but­ton, and answer a few sim­ple ques­tions like why you’re inter­ested and how much you’d pay. It’s just a sur­vey and doesn’t involve any exchange or pledg­ing of actual currency.

What is CUUSOO? It’s kind of like LEGO’s own ver­sion of Kick­Starter where peo­ple share their ideas for LEGO set con­cepts and get oth­ers to vote on them, with the goal of LEGO pro­duc­ing it as an offi­cial LEGO product.

Feast your eyes on these exquis­itely detailed concepts:

I count the Por­tal games among my top gam­ing expe­ri­ences of all time, not only because the story and physics-puzzle game­play are so incred­i­ble, but there’s just some­thing about roam­ing the ster­ile envi­ron­ments of the Aper­ture Sci­ence lab, push­ing big red but­tons and dodg­ing tur­ret lasers. These con­cepts show how per­fectly the game’s visual aes­thetic lends itself to LEGO. It’s almost like Por­tal was des­tined  for LEGO. And on the off-chance you’re read­ing this, LEGO, I would also play the shit out of a LEGO Por­tal video game.

Thanks to fel­low Lea­guer Tophat Sasquatch for bring­ing this to my attention.
