Battrax Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Phew, the Caterham was not rejected! Pity about the Discworld one, though... Edit: Turns out it is slated for the Second 2015 Review. Quote

Hopefully its one they plan on releasing soon. Yeah well... probably not (even though I would have liked to see it as well). Brickwise this would be a big set. There are only so many AFOL fans that are into medieval stuff out there and I guess this project didn't fit into any category. They already did have a kingdoms theme that was similar to this set. Maybe they'll come out with something similar in a couple of years though. But after having had a talk with a shop assistent who told me that they got orders from LEGO to focus more on the younger audience I doubt that LEGO really is that much into the AFOL community to bring out these kinds of sets before other kinds of sets. It's LEGO investment on the biggest possible scale ;-) If people here chose to buy 10 Ecto-1 before 1 Ghotsbusters HQ because they think Ecto-1 will be more popular (also because of the price) then it's only understandable that LEGO is doing the same. Bringing out a more realistic medieval theme like we did in the past... or bringing out NEXO Knights (with lots of new concepts and show etc!... kids will love it, parents will buy it!) Let's face it: There are more parents out there buying LEGO for their kids then there are parents out there buying LEGO for themselves ^.^ I thought the dinosaur might have a chance but I guess with the Dinosaur molds available LEGO didn't fancy a buildable dinosaur. Don't know how succesful this would have been. Probably not that successful thus it's a better choice for LEGO just not to put money and effort into this idea. (Same as others... personally I'm still suprised that they've chosen the maze... don't think that's a brilliant idea but we'll see... as for the Fsomething-Hornet idea... I'm not a big fan and I would be suprised if LEGO would release it. But well... they're still checking on it!) Maybe if the dinosaur would have included the car and some minifigs from the original Jurassic Park! I think this would have been successful! I'd love to have these minifigs! (They are in the game!) I bet there is a market for these as die hard Jurassic Park fans as well as "humble" collectors might want these. But well... I guess I'm happy with LEGOs decission on this round as I mostly didn't like any of these ideas that much. Now I don't need to buy them *g* 1 Quote

Darth_Raichu Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Per 3:03, those ideas submissions for large builds do not have any chance of going to the next round. Notice at 1:18, Exo Suit was the only 2014 Ideas set shown in the entire video... hint hint Quote
citymorgue Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 This isn't entirely surprising. At this point there are a good handful of IDEAs sets already out. Bringing another one into production would probably just saturate the market a bit. Although, with this whole IDEAs thing, it's really intriguing how they come to the conclusion on some things, and the complete lack of one on others. There seriously appears to be no rhyme or reason on what makes it into a production set. Honestly, I like that they let everyone put up any set they can imagine, I think they should have limits. For instance, any IDEAs set larger than like 1,000 pieces will not be allowed to be voted on because obviously Lego won't produce a set so big. This eliminates all the clutter and keeps people from voting on pipe dream sets and focus on the ones Lego truly might actually consider to make into a production set. Quote

Well you're right when it comes to he production of ideas projects but otherwise you're wrong. If sets larger than x (1.000 pieces) will not be allowed to be voted then people just won't submit them. Putting any limits to the whole ideas project pre-production is not in LEGOs interest. As I pointed out before (long before): 1. Free designs for LEGO! I mean even if they do not use them for official ideas sets. 2. Free market research for LEGO! What do people want? How much are they willing to pay for a certain set? 3. Free new ideas for LEGO! 4. Mostly highly popular sets once they decide on a winner. And the best part about it is that they have minimum work with the wholce process --> minimum cost while at the same time they are in total control of the process. So why should they actively limit ideas? They can still pick whatever they like and if they don't like any design they can as we have seen in this case pick none at all. 2 Quote

If it weren't for the GBHQ submissions, it might not have been made... 2 Quote

exciter1 Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 I can't wait for the remake of the Exo-Suit in an alternate color. Quote
Ed Mack Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 I really enjoy the Ideas theme and the creativity of LEGO fans. I wish they would produce more sets on an annual basis. 2 Quote

thoroakenfelder Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 Did anyone else think that it looked like the Exo-Suit was about to attack the giant birds. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted October 31, 2015 Author Posted October 31, 2015 On 10/30/2015 10:38:32, I am Niko said: Spoiler alert: no ideas chosen. And for those of you who were sure RI would get a sister project, Science Adventures was rejected. Honestly all of the concepts for this review phase just did not seem feasible as a marketable product intriguing as some were. In the end Science Adventures would have come across as a repeat although different of Research Institute and considering the flak from the recent Winter Toy Shop, it is understandable for them to not repeat that possible scenario again so quickly. 1 Quote
thlien Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Am I the only one that was excited about the brick built T-Rex? Any one know if there's a brick list and building instructions anywhere? I'd do my first bricklink if available. Thanks. Quote

Once it's been turned down, I believe they can release the LDD / Building instructions into the wild. So just put it out there. Others are free to sell it (I think).

dinner41 Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) No new results yet, but here is the list of sets in the next review (not the one that they are currently wrapping up, but the one after that): https://ideas.lego.com/blogs/1-blog/post/56 Jurassic Park Explorer 20.000 Leagues under the Sea NAUTILUS Toyota Landcruiser 40 Series Beatles Yellow Submarine HMS Beagle Apollo 11 Saturn-V Concorde Display Set National Park Service Centennial Vignettes Victorian London Christmas Which do you like, and which not? Which do you think have a chance of being made, and which not? Edited January 19, 2016 by dinner41 Quote
pickleboy Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 I didn't realize how crazy people were for Jurassic Park... (Obviously figured it out with the recent set releases....and the ideas nomination....and the box office numbers....) Quote
Alpinemaps Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 The Beatles Yellow Submarine is the only one I feel has a chance. But that could be dead in the water because of licensing. There's not really anything in the 2015 Mid Year list that excites me or makes me feel like LEGO will approve it. 1 Quote
Crustybeaver Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Apollo 11 Saturn V, Concorde and Beatles Yellow Submarine are my favourites. Quote
Grynn Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 I'm actually thinking the next round will be a goose egg just like the last. Some good work there, but nothing that is even as inspiring or original as a few recent rejects, imho. 2 Quote
