inversion Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Pretty lame ask me but I'll stash a few away anyway I'm confused about the hellicarrier though. That and the rumors of the UCS AT-AT makes it looks like LEGO is in the business of stealing fan models and pawning them off as their own. Sorry for butting in stephen, but I would recommend renaming the 'Ideas 2014 - Results' thread as 'IDEAS Results' and moving this there since the conversation is already going on in that topic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumper Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Me for one, love both model, but I'm a space nerd, so if only choosing one, I'll go for Hubble. My other not-necessarily-LEGO-fans scientist friends all love Hubble. Also it's just fun to say... Hubble-Hubble-Hubble +ve on both Wall-E will have a small following now since the movie isn't quite so relevant anymore, but should a sequel appear it'll be good as gold! Dr. Whoever never have been much of a fan but it certainly has it's cult of followers & has been on since caveman days so it will always have an immediate market and future prospects. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migration Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 ^^^^yes, some of the oldest cave drawings ever discovered show the first doctor locked in combat with a stone dialect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biking_tiger Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Dr. Who will be gold. Gold gold gold. Wall-E? He's cute, resilient, and a Disney character, so don't rule him out just yet. TLG might either produce a gazillion Who sets or pull a Tumbler on us. It will sell out either way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redghostx Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I like these choices; of course there are others I prefer but making some profit is better than no profit at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregpj Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 What can I say? Autocorrect no likely Dalek. Yeah, but it's pretty funny to read. I'll get both sets because I'm trying to get all the Ideas sets, but I have to admit I was a Dr Who kid and think the Dr Who set will be kind of neat. The next round of sets looks pretty disappointing though. It'll probably be that silly piano. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpizzow Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Damn!! Reeeeally wanted that Ghostbusters HQ for my modular street scene. Here's hoping for the museum for the next round. My guess is that they will pick two: the piano and either the museum or Jurassic World. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trekgate502 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Wall-E over Hubble ? WTH... Methinks somebody owed somebody a favor.. Is that the UCS TIE-Fighter on the same display racks as Watto bust ? The Watto bust. Thanks guys. I was thinking oh maybe that is Watto bust is a really old one because I couldn't imagine them making one today. I'd love it but with all the people not liking Jar Jar I was thinking Watto would not be top of the bust list. That might be the UCS Tie Fighter too. It looks nice whichever one it is. Is that large snow speeder an older one? It looks fairly large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenplays Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I agree between the AT-AT that may come and the helicarrier that is coming I hope the ideas submission designers get a few bucks somehow. Not sure why he would get any money, this one is of LEGOs design, not his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekgate502 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Not sure why he would get any money, this one is of LEGOs design, not his. It is just the standpoint that he had the design first (potentially) and Lego declined and then published a version of their own. I think it would be cool for them to cut the designer that won the award and submitted a $5,000 thank you check or something and release their own. They do not have to it would just be Everything is Awesome for them to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooker1 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 F'ing awesome! Love Wall-E and it looks sooo good compared to what was in the movie. Screw the Hubble and Dr. Who. I don't care for either, but I know there are fans of both. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicblast Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Not terribly excited about those results, but Wall-E could be good.... In terms of the next review, I agree with the concensus that Piano may be the only one to go through. I hope the Minas Tirith guy posts directions or a LDD file so I can BrickLink it...

@rtisan Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Who doesn`t love Pixar movies, Wall-E was definitely one of their best thus far IMHO. Great to see it as an official set, after years of seeing fan MOCs of the character. I wonder what changes they will tweak for the final design, or if they`ll leave it pretty much the same. Not personally a Doctor Who fan, but it`ll be interesting to see a Lego version of some sorts for sure. Will likely be a big hit, clear some space on the shelf for this one.

jal4u2c Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Why don't they just come out and say no large sets with over say, 1000 pieces? They have never done a large style set or modular as an Ideas set ever and from the looks of it, never will. So why waste people's time by having them build super huge sets just to get shot down instantly? Just say in the rules "no sets over xxx pieces". At least then people wouldn't get their hopes up for a set that's never going to get made. I mean, i would definitely buy a Wayne Manor, X-Mansion, and Ghostbusters Firehall. But, all it is is a tease. So really, why bother voting for any of them in the first place if Lego is just going to ignore or disqualify it automatically anyways? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
