LEGO Ideas results announced!

Interesting that both involve external IP.

Only the camping trip was slightly interesting, the rest of this whole pool was pretty bad. The godzilla is yet another buildable figure sadly and the tintin looks a little redundant as well considering 10341, but good for the wallet I guess haha

This is the first time in years that something I wanted was actually picked

Godzilla! Very happy with that pick.

Releasing 2 terauma sets let alone 2 very similar sets at/around the same time makes no sense to me.

YESSSS ROCKET

Well, I suppose the Moulinsart Foundation finally realised how much money they could make with a LEGO Partnership... knowing them, I wager the license fee will be quite high...

I didn't expect any of those, tbh... I'm curious how Godzilla will turn out but I'm sad the Moon didn't make it. That was the only one that trully caught my eye in the list.

The camping trip will pair up nicely with the treehouse and a-frame cabin, so hoping that will made into a set. Still also hopeful for Downton Abbey, not because of the tv series, just the architecture.

It could be because it is very similar to Off Road Adventure in Series 6 of Bricklink Designer Programme."

This is my guess

Oh.

None of these really appeal to me. The camping trip one is the most interesting. The other three all look like they'd be more than a bit tedious to build. That will save me some money, at least.

I'm more interested in the camping trip which would be a good companion to the A-frame cabin.
Nice to see Tintin and I'd have to see the final set before deciding, but I'm much more of an Asterix fan.
I like Godzilla, but I'll probably skip it.

"Ok, I didn't expect it at all, but the only set I was hoping for got thru!!!!!
Up from the depths, 30 stories high, breathing fire, head in the sky...."

And now I have the theme music running on continuous loop in my head: "...and Godzuki..."!!!!

I was initially a little disappointed that only one set from this actual stage went through, but all of these are potentially interesting models. it will be interesting to see how the two that are confirmed will be interpreted by the Lego designers, I suspect these are two that will be changed significantly by the time it reaches release.

The Godzilla set is potentially very interesting but I'm expecting it to be a LOT of money.

Additionally I'd prefer a more classic Toho design and not the one from the thoroughly boring and charmless modern Hollywood films.

I hate camping, but that Camping Out idea looks awesome! Godzilla too. Needs a light brick, though.

I’ve had the Nanoblock Tintin rocket for years - they did the rocket, Unicorn, Shark Submarine, and Moulinsart - so I’ll probably pass on this unless they do something seriously special. I don’t really need two rockets. Still, I’m delighted to see it redone and I’m very happy a brick-built Tintin rocket will be more widely available.

I do hope the Lego box is as beautiful as the Nanoblock ones were. Packaging doesn’t matter that much, really, but it’s nice to have.

My Godzilla is decidedly Showa era but it depends on the execution. Maybe it’ll be really cool.

Bleh

1 Year later: "What have they done with the set?! aghhhh!!"
Godzilla will likely change a lot.
Tintin's rocket will also be a pain to get everything smooth

Until reading the comments I didn't even realise the Rocket was related to Tintin.

Godzilla's cool! Looking forward to seeing how that turns out!

Really glad Tintin will become a set, hopefully with some specialised minifigs, and without the tower… Also, Moulinsart (the company managing all the Tintin-related merchandising) likes expensive products, so I hope the 'Tintin tax' will not be extravagant…

Maybe Godzilla will come with a truckload of fish, cf. the infamous "Godzilla" (1997) quote: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZLg1ARnaxE (highlighted by TheNostalgiaCritic).

I love both Godzilla and Tin Tin, but neither of the builds themselves are particularly catching my eye. I was most hopeful for the frogs, but I love the Camping Trip and would be interested in seeing the final product should it pass!

Godzilla march amplifies

That Moulinsart even gave green light to this. I think this will be a very expensive set. But it does need figures

Love the Godzilla set. It will pair well with some of the mini skyline sets. Look out 21051!

I could see the Tintin set possibly being pulled from the market if they decide that it looks too much like a V2 rocket.

Not what i'd have picked to get made, but I can see the appeal of a lego Gojira, even if its just for the 'rampage through your modular city' aspect.

TinTin though.... used to like the comics when I was younger, but feels like these days it'll have very limited appeal.

Godzilla is awful!!! Can't believe those were the choices...

Camping Trip is similar to the Bricklink Off-road Adventure series 6 set...

Godzilla is such an icon, I mean it literally is.
I'm very happy for all of the winners and the parking lot attendees.

Interesting that they didn't pick any from the 54 submissions, just putting one into the parking lot (and that one makes no sense because Bricklink has one that is basically the same)

Godzilla will be great

The Godzilla design will change a lot, I’d wager. Not good or bad thing, it’s just how it usually goes.

Congrats to the designers of the approved projects!

"Very surprising considering that Mega has a Godzilla set on the market from last year!"

It is japan I think, some companys probably don't care if more than 1 company makes a godzilla about IP. probably just sells to everyone. I could be wrong

read this by someone Toho has some really fussy liscensing rules. Like, you have to purchase the likeness of each individual character that the own to show them. So you'd have to buy the rights for King Ghidorah to make a Ghidorah set, Mothra's rights for a Mothra set, etc.

shrug do not know

SPACE!

(Godzilla is a space).

I'm disappointed that The Princess Bride failed again, but I wasn't expecting it to make it. It was a nice build though. Maybe next time...

Not what I expected. But what I expect gets never selected, so I'm not surprised :)

It's not a complaint at all, the rocket is most excellent. I don't care much for Godzilla, but I can see it selling very well. I do like the camping scenario, but would have never expected it to be even considered.

Tintin is an odd choice since it has such a small U.S. audience that the Spielberg film crashed in America. Not to say the USA is the only market that counts, but I can't expect the set to do too well in a huge market where the franchise has minimal cultural foothold.

Whoo-hoo! I can save some money on IDEAS sets finally...

The TinTin rocket is iconic, but I don't think I need it.

I have never been into Godzilla. I watched the 1998 Blockbuster and the newer one with the Maximoff twins, but never been into that IP I guess.

The camping trip looks great and I would consider that. It does look similar to the BDP set, but significantly better. So I will skip the BDP version in favor of this one.

Downton Abbey is an instant purchase if it gets chosen. It comes down to scale and if they would include a facade and a lot of the cast, or just a sitting room and key characters. But either way, I'm game. I love new time period prints and designs.

It will sell more for space than tintin.

GOJIRA!

Thinking downtown abbey would be a thin set (like just a wall or thin like other sets), considering all the minifigures.

Godzilla is cool. Never heard of Tintin. Was hoping for Princess Bride; that was a very clever build.

Was hoping for Downton Godzilla. Well, I suppose all I need is a top hat piece and a magnifying glass piece…

@daniellesa said:
"The two parking lots look like very good builds, especially the camping trip, but Godzilla looks awful and the Titin set just looks like a rocket launcher set. I honestly think they should just ditch Ideas and rely on bricklink, as it's very similar."

Or make IDEAS IP based only and keep BDP for anything that can be done without needing IP.

Godzilla looks awesome, and if they make it more colorful I'll probably buy it. I mean the blue or pink Godzilla from the movies with a laserblast would be amazing.

Very happy to see Godzilla make the cut! Curious to see which version/era they'll base it on.

Please give it a sound brick with the iconic roar!

I'd be unlikely to buy Godzilla, whatever the final result looks like. Tintin's rocket doesn't really grab me as it stands (mainly because I have no desire to buy the launch tower), but the production set might.

Good pick on Godzilla, I feel that one has mass appeal. Wonder if we can get his mouth to shoot sparks like the old toys!

Not hard to do -- look at pictures and go to comments?

For the first time ever both selections were projects I had supported. That's not to say I'll buy them as I supported both as "ideas", not "finished models". I do expect LEGO to make changes. However, some changes are too far. I supported and was excited by The Orient Express but the drastic changes they made resulted in a model I no longer wanted.

Some have mentioned the lack of minifigures in the Tintin set. Now, I've never been bothered by minifigures, I buy a set for the main build, but with something as iconic as Tintin it would be ridiculous to not include minifigures,

Highclere Castle is the one I really want them to make. I did watch and enjoy Downton Abbey but it's the architecture I'm interested in. It would need to be more than a facade though.

That Godzilla is going to be awesome!! Disappointed Princess Bride failed but not exactly surprised

@SMC said:
"I get why a license set could need more consideration/time but no idea why the camping trip would need a longer review?

Unusually, I'm hoping lego makes a few changes to these. I would like to see Tintin lose the launch tower and base and we just get a great classic sci-fi rocket with minifigures of course. And not sure I have said this before but I hope Lego brighten the colour palette up a little for Godzilla. "

Maybe it is something LEGO is already planning.

On the one hand I'm a little disappointed it's two more IP sets, but on the other hand they both look great and LEGO GODZILLA!!!!!! Take my money!!!!!

Sometimes I wonder why they choose some and decide to let others go. The phases of the moon or the camera were awesome! Not that I mind Godzilla… but some are just meh.

Zero interest in either of these which I guess is a good thing since I'm finding way more interesting sets in the BrickLink Designer stuff these days. So that's becoming an expensive habit. I just wish they would stop dragging out the decision for Downton Abbey and give it a go or denial. The Camping one is cute but as already mentioned would compete with the BLDP one.

The iconic Tin Tin rocket. Love it. But this is more tower than rocket. So less tower, more figs and by a thousand exploding cigars, this will be a great set.

I think they lost a lot of people that were looking forward to Ideas sets just by unclear rules, skipping lines and parking sets... I for one couldn't care less

Once we get sets based on DK Bananza, I wanna see a giant Donkey Kong figure to fight Godzilla!

I scrolled past a bright but unremarkable rocket/tower without taking in the title. Normally licenced sets have minifigures that give more of a clue to the source material, even if you aren't that familiar with it.

The US isn't the only market in the world! No idea how well the film did in the US personally, but wikipedia says it was profitable. Certainly enough so that there have been rumours of a sequel ever since. "

Of course we’re not. But we’re still the largest consumer-nation, last I heard. And the only country that’s likely to overtake us is China. Excluding the Shinkai and Hayabusa that resulted from a platform that was only open to Japan, and produced sets only marketed to Japan, any Ideas set that was based on a non-American IP at least had a significant fan base in the US. I’m not sure Tintin does. But maybe it has enough international appeal that it can be a flop here and still do well overall (or maybe they’re just hoping that’s the case).

@winbrant:
Possibly, but then why not just cancel it outright? It’s not like they owe us an explanation for every rejection, and they’ve rejected projects only to announce a similar set soon afterwards.

"The Godzilla design will change a lot, I’d wager. Not good or bad thing, it’s just how it usually goes. "

You would certainly hope so. Though given the four poor pictures on the submission I admit it is hard to tell what it actually looks like.

Tintin, allons!

Glad to see a Tintin set. I hope they add the rocket interior to make it a bit more interesting to build.

If it comes with minifigs I might be interested in the rocket. Otherwise, no interest.
No interest in Godzilla, Downton Abby or the camping set.

Quite surprised at the surprise at Tintin - it really isn’t that long ago that it was licensed to a different brick-built thingamabobberies company so the license owners clearly don’t have any sort of general objection to the concept of building Tintin rockets out of little plastic bricks.

Oh my God… zilla

No Mystery Shack again *surprised Pikachu*. Maybe try exploring anything else from the Gravity Falls universe and you might get picked? Even just the Mystery Shack with a Shacktron rebuild?

@ShinyBidoof said:

I saw a "meh" rocket (I actually thought it was a V2) and with a very quick glance, read it as "Titan space rocket".

Official Godzilla = 700$

Could not be less enthused about any of these. I really wanted the Beetlejuice House, Mystery Shack, Princess Bride, or Magic Bookends to make it. Ah well… money saved.

That TinTin's rocket ship better come with TinTin, Haddock, Calculus, the twins and the snowy figures. I don't need the ramp, just land it on one of those older moon baseplates... Oh, and the micro build moon tank.

@Zachanka said:

It is unfortunate.

I'm not one to poo-poo a cover simply because its a cover, I'm all for artists doing faithful covers in there own voice/style, as well as new/different interpretations, but this one is an over-produced hot-mess. Almost feels like they couldn't decide if it should be "epic" or faithful to the original and landed somewhere in the middle with a confused mess.

I wasn't aware of it until your comment, but had to give it a listen since I'm generally a fan of the original and enjoy System of a Down/Serj's stuff from time to time.

I think there's room for an "updated" [for lack of a better descriptor] cover, somewhere between Serj's and Blue Oyster Cult's that could be interesting, as I do have some conflicting feelings toward the original owing to that fact it is not without a bit of cheese. Serj's version fell short of the mark however.

And how exactly are you going to do that within consumer law? If you click a button on a website without any pricing then you are forced to pay for something about 12-18 months later, which will not be the thing you saw as they reserve the right to change it.

If LEGO want to make Camping Trip now they can. Nothing is stopping them, especially licensed ideas. BDP is mainly large unlicensed sets and there are more of them these days per year than IDEAS.

I'd buy the Tintin rocket. Hope it will be a little smaller and thus cheaper, including a lot of the characters and Snowy.

That ski jump is how we call him in Dutch. Well, not ski jump, but quiff: ‘Kuifje’. But i think i am going to rename him in ‘Springschans’.

The organization licensing TinTin, 'Tintinimaginatio SA', formerly 'Moulinsart', is known for being strict, and putting a high price on licensing (I've worked for a studio that had a licensing deal with them).
I'm confident that the design will be excellent, but not hopeful at all this set will be affordable :-(.

@StyleCounselor said:
"Why does he have a ski jump on his head?!"

Because he’s a guy? Girls have it on their noses, and apparently guys get it sculpted into their hair, I guess.

It's crazy that a program designed to lets fans of a creative toy express their creativity returns "I want a set of this thing/person/place from this or that existing IP" 80% of the time. Very disappointing.

My vote is on the Camping Trip set.

@yellowcastle said:
"TinTin is a chemical element with the symbol SnSn (from the Latin words "stannum leviosa") and atomic number 50/50

It's silver-white, soft, and malleable with a ski jump-like quiff and bluish tinge. It's pliable enough to be cut and molded into a Great Wave shape. And it can sometimes be found in Space or Europe.

And gets very excited when it is Snowy, but only in English speaking countries.

Finally a Godzilla set, though I do hope that Lego might find a way to add some posable elements to the design so it's not completely static.

LEGO in Danish roughly translates to "Static Display of Oversome Cost"

Oh, definitely, but if ever a LEGO Ideas idea warranted a humongous set, it must certainly be Godzilla, right?

The rocket is not very interesting, and there are plenty of brick built Lego dinosaurs already. Whereas the campsite has a certain charm, and there were lots of others which should also have being added or selected.

@bricks4everyone said:
"Now that they got the Tintin license I hope they include minifigures, fingers crossed!"

I was also surprised to see Lego Tintin.

Aside from the rocket from "Destination Moon" and "Explorers on the Moon," the other iconic Tintin vehicle is Professor Calculus's shark-proof submarine. That would also make an interesting Lego set -- I hope the Tintin rocket gets a spinoff!

We’ve got one in our club that’s bigger than this set will be for sure, so I’m actually ambivalent to the idea. I wouldn’t ever try to display it at a show where someone was bringing a MOC version, and I don’t know that I’d want to build it at home either. So if I got one, it might just sit in the box.

To clarify my previous comment, Tintin in the Shark submarine would be a far more interesting display piece that I would buy.

We need more inspired non-IP Ideas sets! Lakehouse was amazing!

After opening this article I had to check the date to make sure it wasn't April 1st. With so many awesome sets to chose between those were two pretty poor choices. An easy pass for me.
