How long was the process of making the project, and what did you have to research as well? What kind of prep, research and design phases did you go through to produce your creation? The build took me quite a while, mostly because of the challenge I’ll get into in the next question. As far as research, most of it was just rewatching the movie several times. I also had the movie on my second monitor while building and would pause at different scenes for reference. I did a bit of Googling for production photos as well. Using a script or add-on that scans GameFAQs for box and screen images (such as an emulator front-end), while overloading our search engine If you could talk to yourself before you started on this project, what would you tell them? What do you know now that you wish you knew then?

On a Reddit Q&A livestream, Arthur Parsons revealed that the Goonies characters will be receiving new audio. Game designers James McLaughlin and Arthur Parsons have said that the Goonies is their favorite movie. I have updated this project to fit in with LEGO CUUSOO's new guidelines. Originally this campaign was for several kits, but now I am splitting them into different projects. Because the Pirate ship was the most asked for, I am keeping this as my 'main' Goonies project. In this project there are no Lego Logos, non-Lego elements or proposed new molds. Everything in this project can be made out of exisiting LEGO, bar a few new printed decals for the minifigs. The Goonies 360 model is currently right at the 3000-part limit. I had to remove some parts to get there!

What is it about the platform that attracts you? What tips would yougive to anyone who is thinking about uploading an idea?

What is your favourite LEGO IdeasProduct Idea(besides your own of course)?Are there any Product Ideas you think have been overlooked? My favourite LEGO theme was definitely Classic Space. Almost all of my sets as a kid were from the Space theme. Despite that, I’ve yet to build a space-themed MOC. However, I most like building MOCs with minifigs, on a minifig scale and I think I can thank my time building spaceports, space resorts, and space stations for my astronaut minifigs for that. What is your favourite building techniqueor part/sectionthat you’ve incorporated into your Product Idea? I’ve made many MOCs, but my favourite so far is my Rise of Huitzilopotchli build. It’s a build from Aztec mythology that depicts the birth of the Aztec god Huitzilopotchli atop an Aztec pyramid. I was inspired to build it when the amazing Ancient Warrior minifig was released with CMF Series 21. Have you created any LEGO MOCs (my own creations) that you’re particularly proud of? What is it, why are you proud of it and do you have a photo of it?

What is yourfavouriteLEGO theme (current or past)? Why? And has any theme inspired your building style or preference in anyparticular way? Despite this, when the cops ask what was the scariest part of their adventure, Data says it was the octopus.

In the movie, Chunk attempts to call the Sheriff for help, but he assumes that it's another prank call like "the creatures that multiply when you throw water on them", a reference to Gremlins. Coincidentally, Corey Feldman, who plays Mouth in The Goonies, also plays Pete Fountaine, a supporting character in Gremlins. What special challenges did you face creating the model? What was the most difficult part to recreate?I always have LEGO Ideas in mind, but I don’t have any specific plans for an Ideas build right now. The few MOCs I’m currently working on would be too big for Ideas…though I’ve been considering a scaled-down Ideas version. I’ll keep that a secret for now though! Even now, The Goonies is very much represented in modern popular culture. T-Shirts, Badges and other apparel are all available everywhere and as a franchise it is still very popular, especially to those who were young when it came out, as it is a movie very close to a lot of people's hearts. The Goonies Level will allow to players to play the full movie from Sloth's and Chunk's perspectives.
