Vote for an upcoming LEGO Ideas set!

@craiggrannell:
Clearly, it’s a set from an opera performance.

Do the Mixel ball joints even exist in orange and that shade of blue? If not, I would be surprised if LEGO agreed to produce Marine Life as shown because a new mould would be required for each of the male and female parts in each of the two colours. Sounds prohibitively expensive to me.

There are a bunch of other recolours in Marine Life as well, but at least those could be achieved with existing moulds.

I love minifigure scale medieval stuff, Viking Village it is!
If I had an account with Lego, that is, last time I ordered must have been like 20 years ago by now.

Forgive my ignorance but why would they need to make new moulds for the mixel joint recolours but could do the other recolours with existing moulds?

I do really like the minigolf set, but like everyone else, I'm pretty sure its the Viking village that'll win.

I'm a sucker for history, the medieval era in particular, so I had to go with the Viking Village. Won't be disappointed if the golf course makes it though.

I got an email about it last night. I voted for mini golf course.

Voted for Viking
So cool set and classical one, its like barracuda and the blacksmith

YEAH! DARK RED IS THE WORST! ;)

Went for the viking village. The picture gallery on the Ideas site sold it to me. It's a gorgeous island, reminiscent of Barracuda Bay, which is my favourite set ever. I'm not sure I'd buy either of the others, cool as they are.

Vikings all the way!

I like the mini-golf the most but they might as well have just put the Viking set three times given how easily it will win.

This vote would be easier for me if they could list an estimated price. These all look $100 or under to me(which is good since Lego Ideas sets are typically expensive). I would vote for the marine life as it does look beautiful(and the price might be in my range), but certain pieces are impossible to recolor at this time. And it wouldn't look the same if it had grey ball joints(which it most likely would) although they may be able to swap the ball joints out with clips. They would still need to do a bunch of recolors. The golf course is beautiful, and I do think it should become a set. However, I probably wouldn't buy it. My vote goes to the drab viking village! Hopefully they'll add a bit of color, but even if they don't I can use more brown and tan for my mocs. This is one of the few votes where I like all of them so much to the point that I would consider buying any of them.

"I'm gonna pick minigolf, even though I know that it has no chance of winning next to the Viking Villiage."

...Woah

Someone with more knowledge will be able to give a better answer eventually but I think the chemical make up off the different pigments used sets/cures with very small differences in size and surface resistance properties. The differences don't have a significant impact on say a standard brick but certain parts that rely on a smaller margin of error, like ball joints, wouldn't meet Lego's quality standards. E.g, if orange ABS parts shrank slightly or the microscopic surface was slightly more smooth (compared to grey) then if produced from the mould used for grey bricks the joints might flop around under not much weight or time giving an unsatisfactory building/play experience. So a whole now mould, almost identical but a fraction bigger (or even smaller) would have to be produced to compensate for different colour types; even then the different pigments might make the bricks more brittle and unsuitable for such heavy duty joints (looking at you dark red and reddish brown).

"

Thanks for the helpful reply and thanks to @MisterBrickster too.

I didn't appreciate that the pigments would have such a significant impact on the final piece, beyond just changing the colour.

I could never understand why some sets had pieces that, colourwise, looked so out of place (most recently all the grey in 40533) but that helps to explain it.

I'd vote for the mini golf set, but the Viking one will win so easily I'm not sure it's worth the effort.

I would love to see the Minigolf as a set but I can't vote sadly as I'm banned for Life from Lego Ideas...

I love LEGO Viking, but that set looks too cluttered looking to be playable. The mini golf looks awesome and got my vote.
Marine life is nice, but would be a dust collector.

@Zander:
No. There are other towball parts in other colors, but the Mixel sockets are all locked to a single color, most of the new Mixel towballs are as well, and the one exception was only produced in the other shade of grey at Marvel’s behest, for a single year. Because Mixel sockets (the most critical parts in a Mixel joint) exist in both light-bley and dark-bley, we know they’ve both been tested and approved. Because they were willing to switch greys on one of the Mixel towball parts, we can assume there’s not a significant difference between the two shades in terms of clutch strength and structural integrity of the sockets. I’m wondering why they aren’t willing to at least allow either shade of grey so you can at least pick between light and dark shades to blend in with the models better.

@BigDaddy89:
The only “account” you can hold with LEGO Brand Retail is their rewards program (VIP). Anyone can buy it in person at a LEGO Store or (I’d assume) LEGOLAND store, order it online from LEGO.com, or buy it from whatever other retailers may end up carrying it (only Target in the US, and I have no idea what other options people outside of the US will have).

@BrickAstley:
Mixel joints are fairly tiny, and designed to fit around other parts with minimal obstruction. They’ve determined that clutch can be affected by what color the part is molded in, and no part that I know of had more critical specs than the Mixel sockets. The towballs are also critical to the extent that using a different color will make them fit a bit tighter or looser, but the sockets are more vulnerable. If the socket joint fits too tight, it’s just going to compress the towball, which is solid plastic and won’t really be affected. The socket is being forced open, and could theoretically split open. Since the specs were so critical, they only tested light-bley and dark-bley, and color-locked all Mixel joints to prevent stress fractures (and also floppy joints).

All three of these are total next level candidates, such a tough choice.

I love them all. It's so hard to decide, I can see myself buying all 3. But ultimately, the Marine Life gets my vote because (for me at least) it's most likely to stay on display. Near my fishtank!

"Voted for the minigolf course, as it is the cutest. The Viking village will probably win, though, but if the bland colours can be swapped for something more appealing, I guess it could become a set I would buy."

I prefer muted tones, they look better.

So hard to chose from these three.

I voted for the Marine Life set, as I think it'd not only be the easiest to get my wife to agree to, but would actually probably look the best on display in our house.

I was torn between the Viking village and minigolf. I went with Minigolf because I’d be more likely to actually buy it if they made it. It is just a brilliant mixture of form and function.

Voted for minigolf ! Such an amazing set

Viking village would be one of the few chances to get something like this, and timing is perfect alongside 31132: Viking Ship and the Midgard Serpent

Viking village would go great with the recent Creator set, much like Barracuda Bay and that pirate ship a couple years ago

This is such a nonsense. Why didnt these projects been approved anyway at the review? I prefer Legosets that are professionally revised sets above 2nd, 3rd and 4th chances. Especially instead of the disappointments of one approval out of thirty great ideas over and over again. It seems these sets ARE good enough to be a set...! It is chaotic and this circus should stop. TLG is to big for a family business, so please act as a professional company.

Timing is perfect as it will release in a couple of years when 31132 is retired?

Oh boy... Interesting story. I had an active Idea up on the site, and unfortunately my computer was hacked in the Outlook breach last year. My account was hacked and cast additional votes on multiple projects including my own somehow and they one day just shut me out. Ideas doesn't have a number or group to chat to except for an email so I tried for a few months with no response. I took it up with lego corporate who tried to help get me back on. And finally a year later I got an email from Ideas team who said "Unfortunately, as a result of your activity, your account has been permanently banned from LEGO Ideas. This decision is final. -LEGO Ideas Team"

How nice of them! :("
At least you were allowed on Ideas for a time. I wasn’t even permitted that. I am, always have been and always will be effectively banned from Ideas and I’ve never been hacked! But @PurpleDave doesn’t like when I bring it up, so I don’t usually mention it anymore ::~(

Had to go with the viking village on account of how much I loved Barracuda Bay and the blacksmith set. I really liked the marine life option as well—those are some really, really fun colors! The mini golf set looks really fun, but it's not one I could see myself purchasing—or displaying.

Minigolf all day long! Perfect set! The Viking Village is a good 2nd, but too dark.

@d_m_t_arnold:
I don’t know if they were yet aware of the brittle plastic problem at the time the Mixel sockets were developed (towballs date back to at least the 70’s), but every color uses different chemicals for pigments. When I got started in the plastics industry, heavy metals were still legal in the US, so I know safety orange and safety yellow were cadmium-based, and black was dirt-cheap to color with carbon (basically coal dust). I never did find out what they used for the FDA-approved white that we sometimes ran, or what they switched to for orange and yellow when heavy metal pigments were banned. I do remember that one of our backup suppliers would send us orange plastic that had a distinct citrusy smell when you heated it up, but their black plastic did not (can’t remember if their yellow did or not).

Why this matters, primarily, is that it will have a minute effect on how much the plastic shrinks as it cools, but the brittle plastic issue shows it can also impact strength. The Mixel socket appears to be based on the smallest standard space needed to accommodate a towball, which is 1x1x2/3. The socket fills the rest of that space (offset vertically by half a plate thickness), but doing it this way didn’t leave any room for structural bracing.

Expanding the range of colors creates three problems. The first is now you have to go through the same rigorous testing process for every new color you want to add to the mix, just to determine if the color is even capable of handling the stress, and how much you need ti tweak the mold dimensions. Then you need to cut, and store, a bunch of new molds to make essentially the same part (something they probably only do for different parts plastics, and for high-demand parts that may need multiple molds running simultaneously), though you may be able to cut down on some of the crazy by grouping colors into families that can use the same mold due to having identical specs. And third, you can’t treat these as the same part during production. By that I mean that two common tricks for injection molding are to switch colors on the same mold, or switch molds for the same color. This allows you to skip half the changeover process and reduce downtime on your machines. If switching from red to blue means you also have to switch from the mold for red parts to the mold for blue parts, you might as well be changing from 2x4 bricks to 1x2 plates. You could still do a mold swap with a common color, but with in-line coloring, that’s less of a time-saver than when they had to empty the entire machine of red pellets before they could start filling it with blue ones.

@CCC:
The ISS was another reject that got voted back from the grave. GWPs originating through Ideas have also been voted up (vintage car, sailboat). If it’s outside the normal process, they seem to be willing to involve fan input, which is always cool. Unless one person throws a wrench in the system by convincing a bunch of followers to skew the vote.

@PhantomBricks:
I doubt they’d do it, but put a hollow stud in the flank, put an Exo Force robot claw in the hole, and clip a plate with a bar on it into the claw to get most of the range of movement offered by a Mixel joint. The only thing you couldn’t do is twist the plate.

@BrickAstley:
There are a few other reasons why odd colors get used. Some parts are color-locked like Mixel joints, but purely for ease of identification (and unlike Mixel joints, if they can convince higher-ups, they can still produce those in other colors for aesthetic reasons). Some parts are produced in odd colors because they’re already in production, and picking a new color would complicate that process. Sometimes the designers add Easter eggs, like the flag colors of their homeland. Sometimes someone just wants to create a part in a new or desired color (Modulars got a lot of odd colors for 32x32 baseplates). Sometimes it helps you keep track of L/R orientation when building (the Cuusoo DeLorean did this, as does the new XL-15 from Lightyear). And sometimes it’s just about not g

Either Mini Golf or Viking Village for me

"I feel stupid for voting for the Viking set but there is no other way when historic themes are extinct. Does every theme now have to have a gimmick, be it functional or social focus? It's so strange that everything that would have been an action theme in the 00s is now folded into City with a design language that tries its best to be realistic without devolving into piles of 1x1 plates. All the while the action themes get zanier. But that utterly ignores or misrepresents anything not contemporary. I feel like we need a historic theme again. And that theme might as well cover all of history, be it a set for Castle, one for vikings, one for Romans, one for egyptians, etc. since the molds developed for the CMF line really scream for new eras to be added which have not yet been covered with builds. Or be it a modern version of Time Twisters. But I feel stupid to have to vote each and every history related set into an ideas review, just to then not buy anything that releases because the design language is again too kiddified with bright colors due to being a Creator set, or the set itself plain being oversized or overpriced, or a combination of all of this."

i think that lego dosent think it would sell, of course adult collectors (including myself) would buy them in an instant(and lego know that we will), but lego is testing the waters as for if they would sell to children, with the creator 3-in-1 pirate,castle,and viking sets, and so far it seems to be working! the sets are extremly well done and i really do hope to see more non licensed themes come out!

In doubt but finally voted for none of them.
All three of them not enticing enough to buy.

I voted for mini golf. I liked it when it was up for review.

I think Viking Village will get substantially revised if it wins as it's very dark as it is and they've always swapped out really dark colours for lighter ones in Ideas projects (e.g. Barracuda Bay, Medieval Blacksmith).

Marine life is fine but there's already a lot of brick built larger scale marine animals in Creator 3in1.

I do wonder if they've already decided which one they want to make. It's not as if the results of the voting will be transparent. I also wonder if maybe there's an Ideas review coming up where no unlicensed submissions are suitable, so they're bringing an old one back with this process so they don't upset the balance of licenced to unlicensed.

Voted Minigolf, was a favourite when it was originally submitted and supported it on ideas. Wouldn’t be disappointed if it was vikings, but that golf is cool. Make your own Minifigures and it’s a full on family day out!

I voted for the Mini Golf. I like the Viking Village, but a smaller and playable Ideas set, would be a nice change.

What's much more likely is that Target came to them and said "hey here is a bag of money, make us a new exclusive set." And then someone at TLG who owns cufflinks was like "Target baby, I've got just the thing for you" while reaching into a nearby wastepaper basket labeled "rejected IDEAS". Subsequently various buzzwords like "customer engagement" were uttered over Zoom with increasing intensity by people wearing $200 shirts and nothing from the waist down until everyone at both companies with the word "marketing" in their title was frothing at the mouth.

"

Spot on. Now I'm picturing them all looking like Ellis from Die Hard.

If the Minigolf gets picked I’ll have to make minifigures of Joe Tessatore and Rob Riggle.

" @PhantomBricks said: "This vote would be easier for me if they could list an estimated price. These all look $100 or under to me(which is good since Lego Ideas sets are typically expensive). "

There are over 2000 pieces in the Viking one. So would be closer to $200 than $100 unless they cut out large sections of it. No doubt any pricing will be done at IDEAS pricing.

It is an issue when they don't give prices, since you end up comparing an apple, a orange and a golf ball.
"

You are quite correct! I was for some reason ignoring the fact that the build would have to have a back, and even then it would probably be over a hundred just with the front photo. I have no idea why I was being so delusional. On closer examination, I think that $200 could be quite possible for the village, and up to 150 for the maze. I still maintain that Marine life should be 100 or under. That being said they may shrink the builds for any of these as they have done in the past. Unfortunately, at the village's likely price I wouldn't buy it. I have a thing against spending anything more than $160 on a set.

I guess clicking, like, 3 times is considered "effort" these days....?

Throwing my hat in for Mini Golf as well. Looks like a lot of fun!

I just feel like lego will butcher all of them. Especially the mini golf one.

If they do make the Viking village, then I hope they bring back the CMF helmet without horns, they could do a mix of both to please more people, though with it being a village I'd want to see more civilians, not just raiders and warriors.

Also is it to late to add a poll to this article, I'm interested in seeing which option brickset users favour.

@BrickAstley:
Hmm. Let’s try this again.

And sometimes it’s just about not giving you a box full of grey.

I’m going to go with the mini-golf course, but I won’t complain if any of the other ones win.

Almost every single person here is saying mini golf but they think vikings will win.

I voted for vikings becuase its the only one I have any interest in and I'm not sure it will win because of these comments.

Being half-Viking, I’m half-tempted to vote for that. But I do like the sea life, and even a tiny 4x8 chunk of coral reef is some of the most fun I’ve had designing a MOC. Hmm…

@LordDunsany:
The common perception is that Greco-Roman sculpture and architecture was pristine white marble, which is what everyone emulates when they want that look. In Ancient Greece, they painted that stuff up like a circus clown, but the paint is almost entirely worn off. There’s just enough of a hint left that they’ve been able to figure out this was even happening, and get a hint of what colors were used. I don’t think even now we really know exactly what it would have looked like. Maybe it was like some South American art, where everything is solid, saturated, unshaded colors like you’d find in a Crayola 8-crayon box. Maybe that was just the “primer” layer and they added a lot of shading and blending, but those layers have all been lost to time.

@Terreneflame:
Ideas sets seem to run about a year out from when they’re announced. So, you know, right in time for the Vikings to scavenge their ship for lumber and build permanent homes.

@Zander:
I never said that. I hate not understanding why they can’t fix it. I’m frustrated _for_ you, not _by_ you. I’m sure you can sympathize with my plight. I had a similar situation at work. When we switched to a new software edition, an annoying glitch popped up, which I reported. Nothing happened with it. Eventually, I figured out what was causing the glitch, how to (sometimes) avoid it, how to fix the problem this glitch would cause, and how to adjust things back to what the system was trying to do in the first place. What I don’t know, and am mildly frustrated by, is why it’s still happening seven years later.

At least with @kkoster79, I understand exactly what happened. They flagged an account for violating the rules, and since there’s not really any way to prove it was someone else, they shut it down. My only question there is if they had a rash of similar behavior from multiple accounts around that same time that could be the only evidence (short of sifting through IP lots) that would cast reasonable doubt on this declaration of guilt.

As long as Target didn’t say, “Here’s a bag of money. Make us a highly desirable set, but produce it in minuscule quantities so we can sell it as a Red Card exclusive.”

"Oof, the salt in this thread is real!

My personal inclination was toward the Viking Village, but I ended up voting for the Mini Golf because it is a beautiful blend of clever functionality and the minifig scale that I am partial to.

I'm sad that so many here feel jaded about the whole Ideas process. I won't argue that its execution is imperfect, but the mere existence of a program where TLG takes a couple fan ideas a year and develops sets based on those ideas is still so cool to me.

We've come to expect a lot out of LEGO. I guess it makes sense to hold them to a high standard since they claim to hold themselves to high standards, but can you imagine something like IDEAS back in 2004? 1995? 1989? They've come a long way. Involving fans at all in the process of production is a beautiful thing, and I'm just grateful IDEAS exists."

I would reverse all this on its head and say that Lego Ideas helps Lego significantly more than providing Lego fans with what they want. This is a platform where Lego got free marketing research and it helps them discover what are the fans 'passion points' in corporate-speak parlance. In effect, this is a big part of the development of 18+ and incidentally, a big part of profit extension of Lego since their regular market were mostly exhausted (excepted of Asia of course but this was not a 'regular' market).

So people are understandably jaded because, they(Lego) got their massive profits but fans do not really get what they want since many projects got rejected time after time (some projects got to 10k 3 times). The recent Bricklink project got sold out in a few hours. Obviously, Lego is missing a few memos on what the program is about. Personally, I stopped voting/supporting quite a while ago and bought only 2 Ideas sets since the Saturn V (ISS and Pirates of Barracuda Bay).

Minigolf - LegoParadise is an excellent designer, combining impressive functionality with nice aesthetics while at the same time maintaining what to my eyes is a very Lego-esque aesthetic. And he just lost out in the Bricklink vote. He's overdue to get a set officially produced IMHO.

I love the fan engagement and interaction! Hopefully they will do more of this in the future.

Lego ideas is such a popular theme, TLG should expand that team and produce more Idea sets each year given all the strong projects that does reach 10k votes but don't get approved. Themes like Ninjago, Star Wars, Friends and City get like 25 to 50 sets a year whilst Ideas gets 6-8 including GWP.

As for the vote, all three sets look great and personally I'd buy Mini-Golf or Viking Village. Mini-Golf is very clever function wise and looks good with the bright colours as a display. But Viking Village got my vote as I'd love more historical themes (Egypt, Roman, Ancient Greece, Medieval, Chinese Dynasties) and the Ideas team have done a great job with Barracuda Bay and Blacksmith Shop.

I don't see how anyone would not vote for the Viking village. It looks absolutely amazing!

Voted for mini golf. And it can expand.

I voted for the Viking set, but it seems like a majority (here) have voted for mini golf. I really like the golf and the Viking sets so it was a hard decision.

Vikings is the only thing I’d buy unless the minigolf was significantly improved. Which it probably would be.

@PurpleDave

I was enjoying NOT remembering that!!! I also would be remiss to leave out a Course Marshall Joe minifig.

@Cooliocdawg:
“Twerking Queen” looked like she got lessons from the Huggies baby with the wrap-around glasses. Oh, Sir Goph! Sandy from SpongeBob would work perfectly for the head.

@PurpleDave

I can’t unsee that now.

That would be great! I want a Holey Moley LEGO set now!!! I wonder what the market for that would be though!

@Cooliocdawg:
When Stephen Curry (also needs a minifig) takes Holey Moley pro like he’s been promising, there will be a huge market for merchandise, I’m sure.

For sure! It will go nicely with the Muppet CMFs!

I Voted Viking set. Theyll probably never make something like that again.. the other 2 I can see them improving and making on there own.

So we vote for Lego to produce one of these sets....and then on the day the sets are offered for sale, they will sell out in ten minutes, and NOTHING will be available for sale to most of us.....
What is the Point?
Please, LEGO, these "Voting Contests" are wasting my time...

@CaliforniaUncleRich:
Offhand I can only think of three Ideas sets that have gone up for a vote like this, which are 21321 (still available), 40448, and 40487. Vintage Car had supply issues, for sure, and sold out about 1.5 days into the promo in the US, but they started enforcing household limits on desirable GWPs, cracking down on GWP abuse via multiple accounts, and raised spend thresholds to cool down the rate of acquisition for highly desirable GWPs. This isn’t the Bricklink program, with extremely limited quantities, and it’s not going to be exclusively restricted to Target in the US like some previous Red Card sets. I expect these will be produced in significantly greater quantities than the TLM2 Brickheadz, or the Vader bust, if they’re going to have global availability across multiple chains.

People of BRICKSET. Hear me now!

WE NEED A MINI GOLF COURSE!

I choose the mini-golf as interested in more low piece count sets from Ideas that all the family can have fun with building and playing, as well as something different for those store impulse buys and I need that golf sweater! Although I still don't know why Lego couldn't have accepted all of these as the Bricklink fiasco shows there are more than enough fans out there to cover different interests.

Viking Village. It was a close one to call - the marine life set is a terrific, engaging display piece of the kind that brings new people into the hobby, and the mini golf set is a lovely idea, well executed, and feels like exactly the sort of thing IDEAS should be doing. But I'm an absolute sucker for historical builds, and detailed location sets in general, so I couldn't pass the vikings up.

"BrickHammer's second Viking Village is much more appealing (https://ideas.lego.com/projects/57a97b5a-2236-45ec-80fd-cc49d958b20a) and would make a far better set. It's unfortunate that version is not the one on offer in this poll.

I do still like all three of these and would still purchase any of them if offered (though for different reasons), but the minigolf has to take my vote here."

Wow, I totally prefer that second village. So, mini golf for me!

Might work. It depends on how they’re tracking banned accounts. If they catch on to the fact that a banned user is posting with a new account, at the very least it will lead to being banned again.
