Someone Wants LEGO to Make an Official Call of Cthulhu Set!

One of the awesome things about LEGO is that they have the LEGO Ideas portal, which is a place for fans to create their own set ideas, gather support from the community who want to see it come to fruition, and then potentially get it approved and put in stores! We’ve seen ideas like The Addams Family and Gremlins, so why not venture into the world of H.P. Lovecraft and get ourselves a set based upon his 1928 story “The Call of Cthulhu”?
The idea was created by RichterMat, who explains, “The scene of my model depicts the arrival of the norwegian sailor Gustaf Johansen and his crew in the city of R’lyeh which was built by alien beings aeons before humanity inhabited the earth and is described as a cyclopean city of titan blocks and sky-flung monoliths (decorated with strange runes). It was sunk to the ground of the ocean, where Cthulhu (an ancient alien being) had to wait for the stars to align the right way so R’lyeh would rise again to the surface. While exploring the ancient ruins the sailors accidently release the “Great Old One” from his prison and try to escape aboard the “Alert”, a derelict ship, that was discovered by the sailors earlier…”
