The good news: Lego builder Yatkuu's toy replica of the Winchester Pub from Shaun of the Dead garned enough votes on Lego's Cuusoo crowdsourcing site to be considered for production as an official Lego set.

The bad news: Lego shot the idea down, making it the first design on Cuusoo to be rejected by the company after racking up the requisite 10,000 votes.

As you might expect, Lego didn't feel a set based on a gory zombie comedy was appropriate for its young-skewing audience.

Here's the Lego Jury's statement:

LEGO CUUSOO gives the opportunity to submit product ideas, however all LEGO products, regardless of age target, must be content appropriate for our core audience. With this in mind we have decided that – good though the model is – the film Shaun of the Dead contains content that is not appropriate for our core target audience of children ages 6-11.

They also described Yatkuu as "a pleasure to work with" throughout the review, and said they were sad to disappoint such a devoted Lego fan.

Now all that's left to do is go down the pub and raise a pint to Yatkuu for his excellent work.
