Val-E Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Women of Nasa has a 1st December release date. With 3 new sets this year, I think we can expect the Caterham to retire and maybe more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Adventure time will definently go. Would be good if yellow submarine does the same and we can then load up on autumn sales like last year with Wall-e. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be good if yellow submarine does the same and we can then load up on autumn sales like last year with Wall-e. I expect both Yellow Submarine and Caterham Seven to retire by end of the year. Whether Adventure Time is also retiring this year already depends on the sales numbers. Considering that in my opinion the Ideas sets are mostly bought by AFOLs who are more interested in the display value than the play value of a set, I doubt Adventure Time is a big seller. And as such it wouldn't be unlikely to get retired as well by end of this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Licensed sets usually last at least a year. With YSB it could go either way but AT is likely safe till 2018. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

house72 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Any new news on Voltron? I so hope this set gets approved/licensed.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Any new news on Voltron? I so hope this set gets approved/licensed.. Not yet. They pushed it to the next reveal. I thought I heard we'd be getting results soon?I think (hope) Voltron will happen. I think the delay is just related to the number of lawyers working on the licensing agreement. On a basic Ideas set, you'd have LEGO and the creator to deal with. On every other licensed Ideas set, you'd have the licensee (e.g. BBC Worldwide for Doctor Who), the creator and LEGO. With Voltron you're going to have two licensees. You'd have the US rights holder (because it's Voltron, not Golion), and then you have the Golion Japanese rights holder. I don't know that for sure and you would think that the US holder has carte blanc to license as they see fit, but I'm guessing that building block toys isn't covered by that license. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Brickowski Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 How long does it take LEGO to approve/release a new Ideas submission that has just been uploaded? I couldn't find any info on that, so does anyone around here know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToyCents Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Ship In A Bottle is very creative. I hope Lego turns it into an Ideas set as well. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/eca1b08b-1b29-46a6-97a1-9b2580e1dce2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpinemaps Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 First of all - I am banning people from posting in this thread (not really) because every time I see it's a new post I think it's an announcement and I'm dying to hear about Voltron. from local LUG. i think its a slam dunk ti be approved. looks great, pulls in different groups too including AFOLI really like it. I think it had a good shot and would really like to buy it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I'm not basing this on anything, but... We're still waiting to hear results. And we're still waiting to hear on Voltron. And San Diego Comic Con is this weekend. Maybe we hear something in the next few days? It would certainly be a good time to do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ISO8T0 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 bump @Alpinemaps. Yes I know it's kind of cruel, but he does get to go to SDCC this weekend. I'd prefer Voltron, bc I loved it as a kid, but the ship in a bottle is also an excellent design. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to stand by that they must just be days away from the ink drying on the Voltron contracts, and that's what's holding it up. I'd think that if Voltron was cancelled, they would have released the results already. Still hopeful that maybe there will be an announcement at Comic Con. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bad, you're right. For some reason I had it in my head that it didn't make it in for that deadline, but would be in the next batch. On a different, Voltron, note...I can't believe it was submitted back on Apr 11, 2016. It's been over a year! I was pushing hard for it to make it to the review period that ended on April 30, 2016 (and it missed it by only a few hundred votes). So it's been a long time coming. Fingers and toes are crossed!

John82 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) According to BrickSet we may get the results today: https://brickset.com/article/29685/lego-ideas-results-expected-later-today Please let it be Red Dwarf, i need that set.
