The New LEGO Contest Winner is the Bee’s Knees!

Remember Cuusoo, the LEGO design competition that selected models from the public to turn into real sets? Cuusoo gave us the Back to the Future LEGOs and the upcoming Ghostbuster set. Well they’re at it again with a new winner – and a new, much easier to understand name.

It’s a female scientist! And that is fantastic news! Rather than just grab another pop culture touchstone, LEGO are taking the world’s advice and making a legitimate, reasonable LEGO model starring a female character. Because LEGO are usually terrible when it comes to girls. Instead of just making LEGOs for everybody, they keep trying to make girl-specific sets that are more colorful and feature sets about shopping, haircare and other insanely sexist ideas. So this is a damn good sign!
