First 2021 Ideas review results due tomorrow

I think we will get a Nightmare Before Christmas set and (if the licensing has worked out) probably one for The Office given how popular sitcoms sets have turned out to be. Animal Crossing could be the third one.

I'm liking chitty, again. I would have to have the polar express as well. The violin would go nicely next to my fender, as would the jazz quartet. The succulent is also very cute. Anything from space would also get my attention. However, I don't see many if any of them being selected which makes it easy for me to just say no.

I'll take anything Ghibli, Zelda, NASA/SpaceX or The Office. As long as Zelda doesn't have a gimmick like the Mario theme. Just make it minifig scale thanks.

There’s a lot of potential sets here, once you weed out all the licenses that have failed in the past or those that seem likely to fail this time.

The farm and succulents are the only 2 that really caught my eye as definite buys should they make it.

The Willy Wonka set (which is lovely) might be timing it right for a run with the new film and Netflix deal. Snow White might tick the Disney interest too.

Not sure about the others though- a lot of the MOC sets seem more suited to Bricklink than official releases, and I suspect that some of the ideas might also already be ‘in development’ for other themes- looking at you succulents!

Want: The Nightmare Before Christmas, Zelda, Airship, X-Files (probably as a GWP a'la Sailboat), Medieval Marketplace, Totoro, maaaaaaybe Snow White.
Expecting: none of the above, seeing the recent trends.

I think Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is probably a likely candidate. Personally I would like…
1: The Polar Express (if done as a decent length train)
2: Portal Testing Chamber (but it has to come with Chell & Cabe Johnson minifigs). ;-)

I love them all! But I am really hoping for Welcome to the Black Parade!

I'm all for anything based on animation or a videogame

6, 20, 51, that's your result right there.

Another set of ideas, another set of The Office and Zelda MOCs. I wish Lego would just instate a rule at this point against those two at this point, along with Avatar. They're clearly just unwilling to make them.

I honestly have no idea what they'll approve these days! I can see set potential for a number of them, but with the history of what has (and hasn't) been approved, it's just a game of chance.

I hope video game fans get thrown a bone, but I'm feeling adventurous so I'm placing my bet on the Steampunk Airship.

Several in there I would buy. Hoping for Metroid , middle earth map, hyrule castle, Snow White, or medieval market.

If Lego does make a The Office set, they'll have to choose one of the two. And since the final product will be redesigned (probably heavily if they want it to have interesting angles like the past sitcom sets), I foresee a controversy over which of the two submission creators should get credit for the set.

If Lego is smart, they'll sidestep the issue and either give credit to both for the one set (they'd have to figure out how to split the 1% of sales the creators get), or they'll just not make either. The last thing they should want is another controversy like the Gostbusters Firehouse debacle.

I'm liking the House of Chocolate and the Village Post Office. Would like to have both on display.
I can see the Jazz Quartet having a certain appeal, would fit into the 18+ line.

This review is definitely an interesting one. As someone who has successfully predicted the last two Ideas reviews, I believe two sets will be picked. Although my thoughts have changed about this review, I believe there are four ideas that are likely candidates. These are (ranked):

1. Tutankhamun
2. The Nightmare Before Christmas
3. The Karate Kid: Wax On, Wax Off
4. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

These four are selected from an objective business POV and the criteria LEGO has been selecting these past few reviews. Most people tend to pick Ideas based on a subjective POV and not realize that these potential sets will be sold world wide. Just letting people know, don't have high expectations.

"Lots of excellent MOCs. So few that would make good SETS.

I think The Office, the Violin, the Sea Life and that green car might make it, based on Lego's extreme biases to those kinds of sets. There are a lot of submissions I would love to see succeed this time. Especially the viking longboat looks like it would be a fun, AFFORDABLE set. But alas, Ideas is broken and you know it."

I believe there's rumors of a viking Creator set like the castle and pirate ship we got previously, in which case the Viking Longboat would be out.

I honestly haven't got a clue, but perhaps the Brickset crew has some ideas (pun intended) on which will be chosen?

For all the people in here hoping for certain projects to make it, don't put your hopes high. Only 1-3 of all those 57 is gonna make it. They have made that pretty clear from all their previous review sessions.
The size of the projects that reach 10k doesn't matter. LEGO's production capacity still remains limited to only three max per review session.

I want Metroid, Vikings, Princess Bride, Portal, and King Tut.

Agreed. I updated my prediction on here earlier, believing two sets will be picked. (No clue why brickset said 4-5 sets get picked annually, it's 5-6) and Tutankhamun is also my most likely pick. Ideas is not broken, it is just business

My guess would be "none". Or maybe the Jazz Quartet. Everything else is based on IP that is not well known enough, or similar to something LEGO has already made, or the same/similar to what LEGO has already rejected.

Would love to get the Bentley though, but that one is not going to happen.

Realistic and I would buy
Baba Yaga
Greek temple

Both great but would like a larger myth series

Unlikely but I’d love
Chitty
Medieval Marketplace
Chocolate factory

The Nightmare Before Christmas is one of Disney's most popular IPs, being everywhere starting in October. Some of the other IPs are iconic too, but won't get selected due to rights. Along with Karate Kid and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, I definitely don't think these IPs are too obscure for the general public.

" @Cooliocdawg said:

We are getting Viking boat in January. It's suppose to look very similar to the one from the Viking line."

3-in-1 Viking is likely a June set, the only 3-in-1 set for january is a Tiger (timed for Chinese New Year of the Tiger) , and the rest of the 1st wave are March.

Just give me my Samus and her gunship, and I'm a happy builder.

It suddenly doesn't feel impossible anymore, either, with a shiny new (unusually heavily marketed) game just released last week that would make a great tie-in.

Jazz Quartet is my pick, but The Office would not surprise me.

I don’t think any of the medieval themes will be selected; between the Blacksmith, the 3-in-1 castle, and the upcoming Forrestman’s castle through BrickLink, the “one-off” market for castle is saturated - they MUST be thinking of a dedicated theme by now...

I also don’t think any of the modular/city expansion ideas will make it either, nor anything closely resembling a modular building... Lego seems to have a tight grip on that particular line.

The polar express steam train will be great to replace the discontinued Disney train and not too difficult to mass produce at a reasonable family price to make a change from the current very expensive niche adult sets.

I would love for the Map of Middle Earth to be approved. That one's just too cool.

I'd love if we got Zelda or Metroid, but I don't really see why Lego would make those as Ideas sets when they are already in a partnership with Nintendo. Zelda especially seems like it's ripe for sets, so I think the chances of this set passing are pretty much zero. The only other ones I'm really interested in are Princess Bride or Totoro, both of which I think are at least plausible. Totoro is probably one of my least favorite Ghibli films that I've seen (although I do still enjoy it), but if they could get the license and do some other sets based on other Ghibli films that would be awesome.

Perhaps the violin, Succlents or King Tut Mask? The Bentley and Jazz Quartet would be interesting too.

All the rest feel like unobtainable licenses or retreads of exisiting ideas as nice as they might be.

Hire Bricky_Brick and release two modular building sets each year.

I’m sure it’s been said before, but maybe Lego ideas should be round 1 voting (qualify at 10000) then round 2 voting based on the first round winners (first 10 maximum past the post over a fixed time period)

I think they will go with marine life, one of the offices, and if they do a third we could see nightmare/charlie/succulent. Personally though, I really want to see Princess bride, map of middle earth, and the Viking ship, but they’re all three probably unlikely

That jazz quartet would be awesome! Honestly there are so many it was hard to pick and or remember by the time you get to the end of the list.

Others that perked my interest were the Viking Ship, Marine Life and the Lego DNA Double Helix Discovery.

No idea if Lego would even consider any of these but hopefully one will be a lucky winner!

Congrats to all builders for all the hard work they put into these projects.

"Hire Bricky_Brick and release two modular building sets each year."

That's a phenomenal way to absolutely tank the number of people that buy modulars.

Would it be possible that they have 57 submission and choose none of them? It seems unlikely, but I have a hard time believing any of these will pass. So many have had similar entries fail before, and so many others seem too niche to be mainstream.

Wouldn't mind Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or something from The Office. But The Greek Temple has really caught my eye as well.

I want to see Zelda be made. I also like the My Neighbor Totoro set too. Lets all hear for ZELDA!

I'm rooting for Totoro or Tutankhamun. A lot of the others are cool, too, but those are the only two I could see myself potentially buying.

As per normal, I'd guess that none of the modular-building-type projects stand a chance... at least not without the concept being significantly scaled down like the Sesame Street one last year.

To be honest I only liked the Jazz Quartet and the Train Bookends. They look very original and fun. The rest is just more of the same stuff...

Kwik-E-Mart pleaaaaasee, love the Simpsons sets and it would make a great addition to the two existing sets.

Need a vintage tram!!!

SLS, Astronaut, Asterix and Obelix, Post Office.

Any of the castles please

My money in on the Pharoah bust, Violin, and the winter snow globes being selected. My money won't be going towards those ideas however

I absolutely love the Pharaoh Bust. Really, why do they allow Nintendo projects to hit review when we already know they will never pass them? I want that Metroid set more than anything on this list but it’s just a pipe dream.

Gosh there are so many good ones here! 57!!! people were busy during the pandemic.
The ones that stand out the most are the cars the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is spectacular, the Succulent Garden (but I feel Lego will probably just make this anyways), the Sea Animals in the glass cases, and the Astronaut is very original idea! I feel that one will be the win!

But hopefully Lego will actually pick more than one this time! Then again they do no have the Bricklink second round site to sell the other ideas.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't there been a "The Office" IDEAS submission/review before, in a prior year/cycle? If so, I would think that not only would the two "The Office" submissions listed here cancel each other out, but if one submission were to end up being accepted, how does one account for the other rejected submissions, including from prior IDEAS review cycles? I think the repeated submissions for "The Office" (and subsequent rejections) have been negating each other's chances for acceptance.

That being said, I'm hoping for the Steampunk Airship (I just like the steampunk vibe), the Jazz Quartet, the Violin, the Ancient Greek Temple, or the Hobbithole. I even like the Map of Middle Earth better than LEGO's official mis-colored world map. The Succulent Garden might show up in some form in the future anyway, given the recent wave of botanical LEGO sets.

Maybe we'll see more of the Bricklink Designer Program with some "close-but-not-passed" selections here.

It’s time for another exciting Ideas review, where your favorite idea gets shot down by Lego and made by a shitty clone brand with visible sprues and half the clutch power, or Lego makes it and downsizes it massively, removing all your favorite details, or it shows up on the Bricklink Designers Program for all of five minutes while scalpers inadvertently DDOS the site so they can flip it for a $100 spread as a “side hustle”. What will it be?

6. Steampunk Airship is very aesthetic and the kind of fantastic world that could not possibly exist in our universe, so we use Lego to build it.

46. Violin seems likely, as Lego made 21323. The idea of an adult instrument made of Lego being non-functional is actually a selling point, as your partner will not have to listen to you attempt to play it.

27. The Shire is another solid pick if Lego can get the license again, as they previously made 79003 and it was a good set but kind of dinky.

Anyway, good luck to the set designers, and I'm sure I'll be seeing some of these on Yourwobb, hopefully with the designers' names attached to it lol

Now that Nintendo and Lego have a working relationship, and official licensed themes, I don't think we'll ever see a Nintendo IP used in the Ideas theme. Why would they when they can just release it in its own theme? I don't mind being proven wrong, but don't get your hopes up.

There are multiple submissions I’d be happy with here, but god I want that Princess Bride set so badly it hurts.

I'd like either set of bookends (perhaps both!) and The X-Files. Or perhaps these could be combined as a set of X-Files bookends.

I am not confident of The Office sets being chosen. Not just because there are 2, but mainly because of the number of characters/minifigures.
If you include all the regular characters, the set will be swamped by them. If you only pick some (eg Michael, Pam, Jim, Dwight) people will complain.. why no Toby, or Oscar or Ryan or Karen or Erin etc.
Plus, it's mainly desks, and I not sure you could do it justice in a compact size.

The fact that nearly every Ideas review round contains at least one Zelda set shows the demand for a Zelda theme. Hopefully the success of the Mario line (specifically the non-gimmicky collector oriented sets) will convince Nintendo to greenlight letting their other IPs appear as Lego sets.

Metroid! Metroid! Metroid!

I like Zelda too, but it’s like the third submission for the franchise. Then again, Nintendo is partnering with LEGO for Mario, so maybe third (maybe fourth) times the charm?

Still angry about Wallace and Gromit.

Would love Krusty Burger or any new Simpsons set, but that's hoping against hope, so the train bookends, Jazz Quartet and Middle Earth get my votes.

Ideas fatigue has definitely set in, at least for me, thanks to the sheer number of projects making it difficult to root for any of them. I'm going to concentrate on getting that Sonic the Hedgehog set. I couldn't be more excited.

My favourite would be Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, but only if the brightwork was retained in chrome and not substituted for grey (like the Harley)

I would also be very happy with Succulent Garden, The Village Post Office, or the Bentley Blower.

While the are many I like, I think there are only a few I would buy.

Jazz Quartet or Halloween Town, I would buy.

Succulent, well, I have been a sucker for plants so far, so I would buy that as well.

Jazz Quartet stands out to me as different and unique, and a wonderful display piecework/ a ton of history behind it.

I would love to get the Greek Temple, the Viking Ship or one of the two medieval castles.

That said, I would only purchase it if the figures and accesoires are adequate (unlike the Creator 3in1 castle)

I’d like to get one of the middle earth ones

Like Charlie Brown and the football, I'm sure Zelda will happen this time! Personally I'm hoping for the Jazz Quartet, but I'd be happy to see anything that's not a sit-com or tag-along to something else that's already been done.

Most of these seem extremely unlikely to pass, I only see a handful with a chance.

1.Tutankhamun
Nice display piece, fits with the kind of builds in the 18+ range, and I could see it passing if they have no plans for a historical line.

2. Jazz Quartet
Easily the most realistic one in my opinion. Super dynamic, unlicensed, not too large, and in a style Lego hasn't really released anything in officially.

3. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Bets licensed pick of the lineup. Colorful, iconic, and relatively uncontroversial. A little large, but ocukd be scaled down easily enough.

4. Marine Life
Nice build, similar concept to several previous Ideas sets, and not to large or complicated. Nice display piece.

5. Snow White
Very nice build, super recognizable and would probably be a fantastic seller. The only problem would be licensing, as Lego has the Disney Princess theme so there may be conflict.

Everything else is too obscure, too massive, a modular building or an existing license. Honestly I'd only expect maybe 2 or 3 at most to pass, but I'll be very interested to see the results!

Shame we can't get all of these!

I really like:
The House of Chocolate
The Village Post Office
Claus Toys
Castle of Lord AFOL and the Black Knights
The Castle of Brickwood Forest

But I really think that the Among Us will get through because it's a video game, popular with kids, and it's popular now.

Honestly, none of these sets really "WOW" me. If there weren't an overwhelming 57, I'd think Lego might just pass on all of these...but with 57, I think they feel obligated to pick SOMETHING!

The only one here I might even consider buying is the arcade. They won't pick that though. If I HAD to bet, it would be the Jazz Quartet or Violin...but I have zero interest in either of them.

If the license wasn't an issue because it's held by a competitor, I'd think they'd pick The Office just to shut people up and stop submissions of that. (Seriously people, stop submitting ideas when the license is held by a competitor!) I'm a big fan of The Office myself, but none of the sets I've seen submitted over the years really do justice to the show...and there's simply too many minifigs they'd need to include. (I also think Daily Planet has too many minifigs...and that's a GIANT set!)

42 and 54. Severely lacking these 2 after so many years LEGO repeating the police squads and the fire stations for instance. Give us a break. I think the City is in dire meed of a dedicated public park, other that being forced to buy an oriental one.

I would buy the jazz band day one. There's a few others I like, probably enough to buy them depending on price. The succulents for example, or the sea creatures. Unfortunately, what I like never has seemed to be a criterion used by Lego in selecting these Ideas sets :)

why in the world is Modular Portal Testing chamber not called that on the official artwork at the top of the article? It says "The Car wash" instead.... very odd!

Nobody going to comment on every single one this time?

On board the Inevitable Disappointment Train!

I want Metroid very badly, but we'll probably just get another sitcom or NASA set. Still looking forward to the Sonic set, though!

Lots of Castle, but that's ok cause it's my favorite theme. I'm really hoping for a Hyrule castle very similar to the one created by Artem. It's quite a thorough model and I like classic CRAPP castles...

Would love that Middle earth map but doubt it will happen.

Want castle but they will probably make it a Bricklink limited release thing and sell it only to scalpers like before.

Animal Crossing and Totoro would be Day One buys for me.

"My top sets for selection are:
1. Jazz Quartet
2. LEGO Astronaut
3. Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs"

I feel like this is spot on (and personally I’d be happy with any of those!).

If I had to narrow down I’d say Jazz Quartet.

Technic truck!!!

There is a lot of good ones in the mix this time a dozen I'd actually buy this time but that truck is my no.1

@ToyTownBreakDown said:
"Hire Bricky_Brick and release two modular building sets each year."

Yeah, a 32x32 and a 16x32!

Notice how there are 2 office ideas, lego do you notice a pattern

How many sitcom sets can the market support? We've had Big Bang, Seinfeld, 2x Friends. its almost becoming a sub-theme of it's own at this point.

I'm not a jazz fan or not even necessarily a fan of that type of design/build, but man that thing LEAPED off the screen when i was scrolling through the list above. it's a pure genius work of art.

A very good selection: I’m hoping for either Bag End, The Princess Bride or the Office. I also like the idea of a modular expansion, but I know that isn’t likely.

2-13-17-32-37-39-43-45

So many good designs

Keeping in mind that whatever does make it through will see heavy revision, I'd be interested in Polar Express and that's about it.

Kudos to all the designers and yada yada but seriously, a lots of desks on a baseplate is an Idea?
It’a the least innovative thing ever, I’m livid, can’t sleep!

I'd like to see The Office, but the British one. I want Lego Ricky Gervais.

Neither (or any future) Office sets are going to happen.

Of these 2, one is far too big and the other is far too inaccurate (a nice way of saying crappy).

The only one that I want personally is Metroid.

The Jazz Quartet is probably one of the more original ideas, and looks nice enough. Just not something I'd buy.

Zelda fans about to be shafted by ideas again. I hope one of the office projects gets it, not because I like the show but so people will stop commenting about it on articles about other sets based on funnier sitcoms.

There are some really clever, creative & colourful possibilities to choose from, but, for me, I would choose 'Tutankhamun', 'Steampunk Airship', or even the 'Succulent Garden' (to sit beside my 'Bonsai Tree'). But my number one choice is 'Chitty Flies Again!' and I would buy it the moment it was made available to the public.

The jazz quartet is beautiful. I just wonder if they could build it with the structural stability necessary for a mass market product. A lot of the beauty is in the thin stylized characters.

Looking through this list, there are obvious reasons why around 45 of these can't or won't be made. Fewer than 15 are even viable ideas to begin with.

Im not really into modulars, but that post office is freakin beautiful! Chitty is also quite nice, but the real winner is the map of Middle Earth. This time when Lego inevitably reveals the winners I hope they at least say they tried to get the license for it. Then I could be happy knowing they at least tried. RIP LOTR

The Wonka set seems like it might be a possibility. Its a film that seems to be popular across generations (much like Home Alone) and LEGO already have a relationship with Warner Brothers.
If they can get a design that holds up under its own weight and doesn't collapse the astronaut seems possible as well.
Or maybe the bookends (not the train ones, the other ones)

Wait a minute - are we allowed to have minidoll ideas sets? That would be very cool and awesome

Many many good options.
So watch LEGO pick just ONE, and be something absolutely bland and uninteresting like the "Succulent Garden".

I'd like to think they'd pick the busts of either Asterix et Obelix or Tutankhamun...but I'm not holding my breath.

Gosh there's some good ones.

I love the train entries. I hope both the Polar Express and the Canadian engine make it through. Doubtful, but Lego has released some special edition trains, the last few years.

Also, I love the big modular buildings. Favourite is the chocolate shop, but honestly, I think the chocolate works better in the Winter Village, just give it some white pieces for fallen snow and that would be absolutely perfect.

Also, the three domes with the sea-horse and octopus and fish? That is gorgeous. I like the bike paths, too, but Ideas sets have been getting bigger and more expensive, the last few years, so I imagine Lego only wants the big sets that will earn more profit for them.

I just finished Metroid Dread, so a Lego model would put me absolutely over the moon - which is, of course, exactly why it isn't going to be passing review.

I love Metroid, but I do question whether it has the popularity to warrant a Lego set release. However Dread has gotten a ton of hype and Metroid Prime 4 is on the way before too long, so announcing it hot on the heels of Dread's release and putting it in the market somewhere relatively close to when Prime 4 is in the public eye would be absolutely perfect timing.

“Baba Yaga!”

Also, the succulent is beautiful and the Karate Kid house would be pretty cool.

only the Lego Totoro set is doing it for me, would love some Studio Ghibli Lego sets and that’s a perfect start

Vikings and the office for the win!

I need that succulent garden!

A little more patience required. They just tweeted:
"To host a giveaway with our Review Results announcement, we have postponed the results until the 15th of October. "
https://twitter.com/LEGOIdeas/status/1448565645780602880

Well that list is overwhelming. I found myself liking certain sets, but they almost lost the spark because of the shear number.

I doubt any modular type set will make it. They look cool, but Lego already has that theme and it is set to be an ongoing theme.

There are some very niche sets as well, which would surprise me if they make it.

Music is certainly a currently theme, but we have had two sets already and sets based on games do tend to do well.

Honestly, this one is far too hard for me to make a call. Whichever one/s are picked, there will always be someone to disappoint and someone to make happy.

I had no idea it would be this stressful waiting for them to announce whether they will do my project. Considering their track record, I can be pretty sure it's not going to happen.

I'm still on the edge of my seat, though, and I can barely handle the anticipation.

there are so many out there.
I think Lego and Nintendo should have a longer collab, to make a sub-series dedicated to the main Nintendo IPs (Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Animal Crossing, Splatoon...)
They could be some hit-sellers among Lego fans and Nintendo fans.

Might they have delayed a day to reveal the Home Alone set at the same time?
The sticker sheet has leaked, so it can't be far off at all. Maybe 1st Nov?

There are actually a few that I wouldn't mind having ( especially the castles) but as with everything it depends on the price and how different it ends up being from the original design.

That’s what I’m thinking.

Not surprisingly there are quite a few sets there with great potential.

(and the cycle lane!!! how did what looks like a parts pack get 10K votes?!?)

A lot of these are pretty awesome, and also massive

Just a hunch, but I am betting a lot won't pass.

I'm not sure why they would agree on The Office now when they've shot it down in the past (yes they love their sitcom sets, but The Office requires a large figure count if you want to justify it. All the side characters are what makes it tick, but limited it to Michael, Jimothy, Pam, Dwight could work).

The only sets I could see passing are potentially already in their line-up for active themes (succulent, space stuff, Disney).

So I'll be grumpy and say we will not have a lot of good choices tomorrow. There is a reason they postponed it AND are offering a prize...they want to keep the excitement up since they know it will be a let down.

Hmmm… Animal Crossing exclusive Nintendo Direct scheduled for 3pm UK time tomorrow, around the same sort of time window that Ideas results come in. It’s probably a coincidence, but maybe not?

Honestly, with this last year's variety, I'd honestly like to see more relatively niche products - especially since I enjoy relatively niche things.

Plus, if Lego only ever sticks to what's the most popular, you're going to get a lot of boring stuff.

I love Metroid, but I do question whether it has the popularity to warrant a Lego set release. However Dread has gotten a ton of hype and Metroid Prime 4 is on the way before too long, so announcing it hot on the heels of Dread's release and putting it in the market somewhere relatively close to when Prime 4 is in the public eye would be absolutely perfect timing.

Honestly, with this last year's variety, I'd honestly like to see more relatively niche products - especially since I enjoy relatively niche things.

Plus, if Lego only ever sticks to what's the most popular, you're going to get a lot of boring stuff."

I say the bigger issue seems to be that Lego and Nintendo have both made it perfectly clear that they will only release the sets that they are going to release as part of their collaboration. If they ever do anything outside of the current interactive concept it will be when they want to do it. I don’t think an Ideas set has any chance under the current working arrangement between the two companies.

"To get a little more excited for the results of our biggest ever review, we've decided to sweeten the deal for LEGO fans around the world. In that connection, we have decided to postpone the LEGO Ideas Review Results announcement by 1 day..."

Such Dizzy! Very Spin! Wow!

The AFOL community confuses the hell out of me. We ask for a seat at the table and then poopoo that seat. We love the Ideas sets being released but then poopoo the selections process. We get a 2nd bite at the Apple through the BLDP but then poopoo everything about that process. We get 57 submissions eligible for review with some really great entrants but then poopoo that there are too many. We even poopoo folks for submitting their well received MOCs to Ideas and instead tell them to just showcase locally. We ask for more detailed, adult oriented (and expensive) sets but then poopoo that there are too many.

Going forward, maybe we should be referred to as APOLs.

I can still dream.

There has been an absolute void of spaceships that aren't Star Wars or City, and it's making me quite sad.

Don’t get me wrong. I would love to get Samus and her ship. I’m just so pessimistic about what Nintendo/LEGO want to work on at the moment. I can respect their vision. Doing something different. Not just a LEGO Mario video game, or Mario minifig sets. Doing something uniquely collaborative. And I think it’s doing well. But, selfishly, lol - I just want a series of LEGO Mario/Zelda/Metroid video games and minifig sets of the same.

They have picked none of them in the past…

True.
But that wasn't when they had so many submissions.
Now it'd be really hard to justify to their fans picking none...specially when their fans are getting increasingly irritated with the Ideas project to begin with.

Unfotanantly, chitty probably won`t fly again because of all the chrome pieces that would have to be manufactured for it.

Looking again - Snow White and Chitty are my favourite.

The castles and trains etc are awesome, but they are already Lego themes (just maybe not current).

The bookends might make it?

Nope - still no idea.

I think I can go back and like a few more or different ones every time. Agreed that Snow White would be a good pick. Cute little set.

I am cheering for the following in order:
1 - Chitty Fly’s again
2 - Jazz Quartet
3 - Via Canada
4 - Lego Astronaut

I second that; but with a different order:

1 - Via Canada
2 - Lego Astronaut
3 - Chitty Flies Again (must have the chrome parts otherwise it's not worth it)
4 - Jazz quartet

There are so many good ones. 4 nice castles/medieval places (I'm not in castle at all, I'm a Technic and space guy, but when it's good, it's good), the viking ship, snow white and the seven dwarfs, Baba Yaga - would love that with the full story of the legend behind it (and any variations). We'll see. Most of the time, it turns good for me in the sense that I don't have to spend anything!

TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT FOR THE RESULT!

"Jazz Quartet"
"The Office"

and a review of "Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs" ...

BAH...
