fuzzy_bricks Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Science Adventures achieved 10,00 supporters. This is the follow up to the Research Institute. I'm not sure if Lego would head down this path again or not, probably depends on what the competition is at the time. If it ends up being a set, I think it definitely helps Research Institute. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/83039 1 Quote

justapilgrim Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 It's actually a really nice set design Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Brickpicker mobile app Quote
Guest TabbyBoy Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Let's hope this will join my RIs. Quote
trekgate502 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Is that 2 or 3 women in this set? Or am I blind? I cannot see Lego wanting to get into the women / men not producing enough controversy all over again. I think they will move on. Quote

I'm going with 2, I had to verify the lipstick on the 1 to confirm lol Quote
inversion Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 It's an easy design, incredibly large support, no license, predecessor sold well. LEGO has little to no reason not to release it. LEGO is mostly afraid of new ideas being a failure. However now this venture has quite minimal risks. Quote

I cannot see Lego wanting to get into the women / men not producing enough controversy all over again. I think they will move on. At the same time, the demand is there and controversy can also be free publicity. I wouldn't count it out of the running from the review. Quote
Migration Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Just imagine the blowback if they don't release this. Quote
trekgate502 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Just imagine the blowback if they don't release this. That is exactly why I think it is unfair to Lego and they are going to pass but that is just my opinion Quote
bricketycricket Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 I liked the RI, and on its own merits and not the feminist aspect of it. But once was enough, in my opinion. I'll be disappointed if/when this is released instead of one of the many better and more original ideas that have been submitted. Quote

If LEGO wants to release it it will, independently of other sets. What I gleaned from the decision process so far is that LEGO doesn't limit itself if it finds multiple sets good candidates, it evaluates them individually. Especially considering that most of the submitted concepts are infeasible as an Ideas release. I am sure that a potential release of this set wouldn't affect other projects. Quote
toycrazedchris Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Science Adventures achieved 10,000 supporters. That sure was quick. Do they typically achieve 10K that quick? Quote
ppsagehen Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 for some reason reminds me a bit of mine craft as well 1 Quote
I am Niko Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 If this gets produced, it might just be cheaper for the TLG to hire Alatariel Quote
Huskers1236 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 That sure was quick. Do they typically achieve 10K that quick? I know the Purdue Pete one achieved 10k really fast, but they never produced it. I think that license would have been a goldmine for them with making licensed NCAA/NFL type mascots, but that's just me. As for this set, I like it about as much as RI, very little. I'll get one to have it, but won't invest in it. I thought figures like these was why they make the CMF line? Quote

TLG already has one elephant to deal with, I dont think they want another. As for this set I cant see TLG not giving it a shot. RI got a limited release initial, but was in so much demand they gave it a second round. This seams like a no brainer, as a follow up. I dont see the sex of the minifigures (huh what?), really effecting the decision much this time around. they could even do it as 3 poly bags rather than 1 large set. finally the only people on this site that do not want this to be release are the ones with no RI's in their stock rooms...

MarleyMoose Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 There are 5 different mini figures shown in the pictures. Quote
jmdt Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Is that 2 or 3 women in this set? Or am I blind? I'm going with 2, I had to verify the lipstick on the 1 to confirm lol I believe that it is a set with 3 female scientists. The reason that not all 3 figures have long hair and lipstick is that not all women have long hair and lipstick. I heard that this was one of the criticisms of the RI Quote
