Flying Dutchman reaches 10,000

Wow, i think it's gonna be expensive...

Hopefully they decide to scale it down to imperial flagship (the 2010 one) scale. This is a rather large hole in the POTC line up if I do say so.

I'd be so excited for Jurassic Park or LOTR or Goonies, but I'm guessing that it will be something else. I am going to keep my hopes up for Jurassic Park though ... such a fun set.

When they release the results for this round they will probably pick one and then announce the helicarrier...maybe

-Avengers Helicarrier - I'm pretty sure LEGO already had planned and had negotiations since the first Avengers wave. The set will be released this year.

-Labyrinth Marble Maze - This would've fitted well with the LEGO Games, now I would say no.

-F7A Hornet - Not really appealing...

-The Goonies 30th Anniversary, The Inferno - Ghostbusters happened so this could be very likely.

-The Natural History Museum, Creator Expert - We just got the Research Institute so I would say wait for Jaime and the LEGO Creator Expert team to release one down the line, It should happen at one point.

-Lords of the Rings Set, Minas Tirith - LEGO Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit themes are discontinued, maybe LEGO will realise people want more?

-Jurassic Park - We are getting sets based on 'Jarassic World so I don't think we will get it, This will be really cool set though (especially the buildable dinosaur)

-Piano - It's quite small so I would say they could make this slightly bigger in size and make it more realistic.

-Flying Dutchman - LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean should be back for the new film so I would say then is a good time to release this a PotC LEGO Exclusive.

I'm calling 'The Goonies' and 'Panio' projects to be official LEGO products :D

While it is nice to see projects like the Flying Dutchman and the Avengers Helicarrier, I'd have to say it's a safe bet these won't make it into production. My gut tells me they are way to massive to see the light of day... The Trading Ship would stand a better chance if it could reach 10,000.

Out of those listed for the next review, I think the Maze, the Hornet or the Piano have the best chances. My personal long-shot favorite would be the Natural History Museum.

Wow, stoked for Jurassic Park and marble maze!

I really wonder what price some people select as what they would expect to pay for a set like this. And I wonder how much those results do affect the review.

The trading ship is a great LEGO build and would make a nice addition to a LEGO collection. These huge projects, I have to second yuffie's critique: vanity projects. This should be a one-of-a-kind centerpiece to Sebeus's collection; not something produced for the masses. Thank heavens there was not a CUUSOO like entity around during the Renaissance. Imagine thousands of people owning a replica of Michelangelo's David.

I really hope that the labyrinth maze is produced as it is the reason I joined CUUSOO. If not, money saved for the Elves theme later in the year.

I'm also pulling for the piano.

I understand why LEGO released the Queen Anne's Revenge in the POTC line (to tie in with the then-current film), and it was a nice ship, but I would certainly be interested in a Flying Dutchman at some point, through ideas or a new wave of POTC to tie into the fifth film.

Hopefully they will make the Dutchman into a set, it might appear too in the next POTC movie (crossing fingers)

I love it. It's a great looking model with and wonderful detail. But it will never pass review. It's far too big for starters. There's a ton of great a idea out there, but many have the same problem, they're too big.

Personally I'm hoping for the piano, it's prefect. It's the right size, educational, wide apply and no IP.

Either Jurassic Park or Mina's Tirith would make me happy :)

Congrats to Sebeus! I think a scaled-down version would be nice. Think of the Minecraft LEGO Cuusoo set - it was proposed with minifigures, but they approved the project and used microfigures instead. Now TLG is releasing Minecraft sets with minifigures. I look at it like this got 10,000 votes for the concept, not necessarily the exact set pictured.

To me, the piano would be an easy approval decision. Throw in one minifigure, and price it for $9.99.

I'm thinking Piano as most likely- a few different famous composer minifigures and it'll be a set. That said, my non-rational self is still hoping beyond hope for Minas Tirith- at least this version has made an effort to be a reasonable scale, unlike other projects...

When do we hear if Wall-e will be made into a set?

I was at the local LEGO store yesterday and one of the employees confirmed that the Helicarrier is on their inventory sheet for this year.

Wasn't there an X-Men Mansion in there somewhere? Or is that a different review phase?

I just want a LEGO ship on which the stern isn't fifteen stories high. Holding out for a Creator Expert HMS Victory (I might be waiting a while....).

Out of those, I like Jurassic Park the best. Great dino and great car.

And yes, the Trading Ship is so much better than the massive vanity project that is The Flying Dutchman, which wouldn't be green-lit with 20,000 votes.

It's a nice looking ship for sure, but I don't see it getting the greenlight. I think the theme could use that ship, but since they gave us Davy Jones in the Black Pearl, why would they release his ship years later? Especially with a new movie on the horizon. Inevitable discovery..that's still a thing right??

So that negates anything Star Wars, Marvel, DC, Jurassic Park, POTC, LOTR....heck, maybe even Disney...which means no Wall-E.

I haven't seen Wall-E, but the model looked neat. But that is for another discussion.

In terms of this review period, I'd want Minas Tirith most since I love LOTR. But I don't see it happening. The Jurassic Park looks good too, but again, with the new theme coming out, it won't be happening.

So looks like the short list is Labyrinth, Piano, and Museum.

I like The Goonies and all, but it just doesn't have the same cultural resonance as Ghostbusters or BttF.

Everything else is just ridiculous in the extreme.

I can just hope there will be a Flying Dutchman. And make it a special, big, expensive Lego Special. I don't care. Must have one!! So, one is sold allready!!

Should have been the Black Pearl, its more iconic from the movie series. At this stage I had almost completely forgotten Davey Jones's ship :L

It also is ridiculously over-complicated and looks kind of bad to be completely honest, like a deflated balloon in terms of how the hull warps. Not to mention the bottom is completely flat, wth?

Yet another reason for Ideas to finally put in place the long overdue piece count/size limit

Dang, somehow I missed the Star Citizen Hornet reaching 10,000! I really hope they make that. I can genuinely see CIG (the studio behind Star Citizen) being willing (or even excited) to do some kind of licensing deal.

@dougts That's a really good idea. Submit it as a LEGO Idea! At least you know they'll read it (before they tell you it was rejected). ;o)

They also need to come down hard on Ideas which are barely tangible - like posting a picture of two mock-up minifigs, putting some barely coherent text underneath explaining (sic) what the set would be, and getting 6,000 votes in a few months.

If that Daft Punk "idea" gets 10,000 votes, I'm quitting Ideas. If it gets a green light, I'm quitting LEGO.

I'm looking forward to what's coming next...
Nice to see this achievement blogged here :)
