Daft Punk Reaches 10,000 With Hours To Spare

Congratulations! Though I must admit I don't get this idea. It's two mini-figs and a (largish) turntable... Well, at least it wouldn't be too expensive I guess.

I am not too thrilled about this one either.

This is a really difficult review to call. I like the idea of having an official Daft Punk set, but don't see this getting through - I'm actually tempted to try to MOC an Interstella 5555 guitar shaped Spaceship which some Daft Punk figs would go great with.

I'd also love to get an official Zelda set, but without new moulds (hat/hair) I don't see it happening - it's my theory why none of the previous projects got approved.
Discworld could be awesome, but not getting my hopes up on that.
That t-rex is amazing and I could see it passing (after Birds got through, before that I wouldn't have thought it) but it might need substantial redesign.
Any of the 'vehicle' projects might have a shot, but will be down to all the usual review criteria.
If Science Adventures gets though I'll be disappointed, but I could see it happening.
Small Yellow is the outsider that's in with a chance in my opinion - TLG have an existing relationship so there's good ground there and they might want to cash in.
Golden Girls I hadn't heard of before the Ideas project so I can't comment on.
Medieval Market Street - likely too big and difficult to transform into a marketable set when TLG might as well wait for the next round of castle stuff to do something with similar content but much smaller.
Frozen - should have been shot down when the official set came out.

Is this a joke?

Ideas is becoming lame. Should rename the concept "I'd like a specific minifig produced by LEGO so I've 'designed' a pathetic set around such a minifig as I prefer collecting minifigs to building LEGO sets"

@mr_skinny - Only a very small handful of the projects that have reached 10k supporters have been based solely around the minifigures.

I listen to the French group of musicians from time to time so for me it would be pretty cool to see them as an official set. I want this to become a set but I'm having a hard time seeing becoming true. Best of luck to all of the people who reached 10,000 supporters to become a set!

Why don't you show great projects like the three musketeers instead of these sets that are not suitable for kids.?

I know Glenbricker is part of that idea but if it is a good idea, why not show it as idea of the week here in brickset. Because it really is. One of the best set I've seen in ideas for long time.

I love this idea and I listen to them all the time, but I am torn between the corvette, rms Titanic, the ISS, and the small yellow. Maybe even the Legend of Zelda set.

Best of luck to this round of ideas.

I'm betting on Zelda, the T-Rex, and/or Science Adventures. Everything else is too big, too blah, more or less already existing, or Daft Punk. I mean, we are getting WALL-E and Doctor Who this year, so it's not like I'm feeling deprived of awesome Ideas sets...

I wonder when LEGO is going to give up the "Ideas" charade and just call it "the licensed theme submission website"?

^ There's been a mix of licensed and unlicensed releases. The Exo-Suit, Birds and Research Institute are all unlicensed.

If you expand the definition to include projects based on existing objects that aren't "licensed" like a movie or TV show, that adds the Hayabusa, Curiosity Rover and the Shinkai sub.

Given the lineup for this review, it seems very possible if not quite likely that a non-IP project will be selected.

Just thought about adding my two cents.

The Discworld - Huge audience of the books and probably could sell decently. For me it is a pass.
Science Adventures - Same as the Research Institute by the same submitter too - It will sell
Medieval Market Street - Nice and fun build to be had but quite large. Lego may go for it.
Disney Princess Frozen: Elsa's Ice Palace - been done and why try?
Douglas DC-3 - niche audience and doubtful it will pass
Bricksauria | Tyrannosaurus Rex - this could definitely pass review and would sell well. Who doesn't love dinosaurs?
International Space Station - Lego has done other space themed Ideas sets, could do this.
The Golden Girls Living Room and Kitchen Modular - Another bleh 80s TV show. Question is will it sell?
Legend of Zelda: King of Red Lions Play Set - Like all the other Zelda projects I see this as a fail. Nintendo isn't going to give license to their franchise.
RMS Titanic - Large build, Lego could do a small version (smaller than Mersk I think) and it may work.
Corvette - This would be a first, Lego could turn it into a technic set?
Small Yellow - Easily produced and no licensing required.
Daft Punk - Not sure why anyone would want exclusive Daft Punk figures? I like their music but it doesn't make me want to buy Lego figures of them. Far too niche and think it won't pass review.

Titanic is the first non-licensed set I would buy since I was a little kid. Daft Punk? I don't see the market for it. Probably largely supported by Daft Punk fans who don't normally buy LEGOs.

I dont believe people should get upset if an idea they do not like gets 10,000 votes. We're not all the same, and even though we share an interest in Lego, its our diversity that keeps life interesting ;)

Where and how you spend your money is the loudest "voice" you have.

High Five!

I seriously don't get how these odd concepts get 10,000...

Modok you miss my point. The vast majority of submissions are for licensed themes.

That LEGO tends to pick the non-licensed sets is a huge win in my book, but doesn't change the fact stated above.

Several of these submissions are rather unrealistic. Daft Punk is barely even a set, and some of the other projects are far too large to sell well. I can see the Discworld having a good chance, as a way to honor Sir Terry Pratchett, Science Adventures would be nice, since it's the quality of the RI without the controversy. Ice Palace is 1,00 times better than the official set, but there's an official set, so it has no chance. Small Yellow is a good possibility, and the ISS might be possible as well. In all honesty, there aren't any projects in this review that I care much about, but I hope something good gets chosen.

I don't even know who they are!

I think it would be worthwhile for people to actually read through the submissions before judging them. For the Daft Punk one, there was additional elements not shown in the main picture. Many Ideas submissions also have regular updates that are worth checking, also look at the dates posted. A lot of these predate Ideas. Ice Palace was submitted a long time before the official set.

I am going to sell all of my LEGO if this set will go into production. I can't believe people vote for this set. Everyone should take Ideas serious, if we don't, there will be a time LEGO quit with Ideas. I don't think LEGO will produce this crap.

@MrMonsieurGreen I have all of Daft Punk's albums... still a pants LEGO 'set'

I'd bet money that either the titanic or small yellow will be a set

I'll just add this to my list of reasons to die.

Lego Ideas is broken. I quit last month. Far too much crap, wasting my time.

We could get a bigger set with stage.

The Titanic project seems feasible, in my opinion.

Hasn't anyone got an opinion on the DC-3? That's the one I want, not Daft Punk nonsense, or the F-word... You know the one with the ice palace and the magic queen. You all have your rankings, "this ones got a good chance, but that one won't make it", but no one mentions the DC-3. Help me out here!

^ I'm with you, LordofLego, the DC-3 rocks and I would definitely buy it, but apparently we are in the minority! I have no particular objection to the Daft Punk set, TLG will judge each one on it's merits and happily make them all if they thought they would sell at a profit. More LEGO sets I say! ^^ @ Shib, the Zelda set could use the new ear and cap peice from the goblin in series 13 CMF, as suggested in one of their updates. Licencing is likely a bigger issue.

^^^^ in reply to CortezTheKiller, a lot of rubbish will be cleared out of Ideas within a few hours, we should all wait and see how it goes.

Why are people hating on Daft Punk already?
1. There's TWELVE other projects that have reached 10k supporters.
2. It hasn't been selected as the set to be produced, and likely won't.

Personally I hope T-Rex or ISS wins.

Since I started this: I don't hate Daft Punk. I kind of like their music even. I also don't hate this set / idea (and yes, I am aware that the text proposes additional bits and pieces). I literally meant that I don't understand the set's idea because it seems to be clearly (solely?) focused on the minifigs, which to me is absolutely not what Ideas is about.

And to add to others: I'd absolutely loved to see the DC3 made into a set. As I would like to see Discworld and the Corvette. Depending how they are done, there's a few additional ones I would consider buying as well (the licensed ones not being in that list).

Congrats autorazr on getting to 10,000. I know it's extremely unlikely but I sure hope that the Zelda set gets through.
