Purdue Pete

Purdue Pete is an Achieved project on LEGO CUUSOO created by sandsanm on October 16th, 2012. It reached 10,000 supporters on October 25th, 2012. The massive support surge came from Purdue University, which urged students to get accounts and support. It is currently the most supported project on LEGO CUUSOO to date.

This project was the subject of much controversy due to the fact that Purdue University promoted the supporting of this project, and many new accounts were made solely to support it. This was at a time where supports were slow, and this project shot up to 10,000 supporters while other projects, including Space Troopers!, still kept a slow pace. More concern was shown over how the supporters may have been supporting to promote their University, and not for the potential set itself. However, some supporters did branch out more into LEGO CUUSOO, supporting several projects, while others were offended at how the project was received by many, and left the site.
