Popular Post thebrickdad Posted September 2, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2016 A new collaborative project by Grant Davis and Jason Allemann brings what I think is one of the most original Lego Ideas idea yet. I saw this and have voted immediately. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/151695 Superb........ Over 2,000 supporters and it's been up for less than one week. Quote The book features a simple and reliable mechanism that pops up a structure when the book opens, and pulls it back in when the book closes. The main scene and surrounding details can be completely customized to tell any story you can imagine, - a cottage in the woods, jungle ruins, medieval castle, wild west building, space station, pirate ship - the possibilities are endless. There is also room to store Minifigs and other accessories inside the book, and it features a locking clasp to keep everything securely inside when it is closed. We suggest the set include enough pieces to build at least two core scenes and include anywhere from 3 to 5 Minifigs. A selection of extra Minifig parts could also be included so the actors can be outfitted for different roles, making them more suited to tell a variety of stories 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Mack Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I LOVE THIS IDEA! This is why the Ideas theme is one of the best ever. Just a clever design with so many options. It can be a whole theme to itself. Different sets equals different books. You could have shelves of these books. Wonderful. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martae54 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Yes I can see pop up SW, SH, and Princess scenes doing very well like this. Lego can make the book itself one set .. Then sell us each scene as a different set that will fit or (activate) within the limitations of the book. It is a brilliant idea IMO. Let's see if they run with it.

Wonderful.And we all know LEGO would love to have a set that they could retire, slightly change and then release at a higher premium.

tractorboy Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 (edited) Nice idea and it would be a cool addition to the line. Not an original one though as this guy has been building crazy pop-ups for a few years. The smaller version would be more suitable of course.

Alpinemaps Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I believe the same creator also posted this one as well: http://i.imgur.com/8B4TRYo.gifv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clintonjoseph Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 http://www.newelementary.com/2018/06/lego-ideas-pop-up-book-exclusive-sam.htmlthis interview from new elementary gives a little insight into why they chose this as the next ideas set as well as why they didn’t choose some of the other candidates like the other buildings from the creator of the old fishing store. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
