just2good Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) Buy here. Original post: Now what could this new set be, that was named on Brick Picker forums by a reliable source, Ed? People think we may be getting the Female Minifigures Ideas set, and that will be this set. What do y'all think it is? Also, Ed said it's $20 USD.

emilstorm Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) Here are some pictures http://www.thebrickf...o-ideas-product, if these are the sets they look pretty interesting, but I think the price looks a little high just from a quick look at it. Edit: the price seems to be for all 3, so fair price I think. Very versatile research institute Edited June 2, 2014 by emilstorm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faefrost Posted June 2, 2014 That would be a strikingly brilliant solution on Lego's part to completely and utterly disarm a political correctness bomb while at the same time staying the heck out of the debate and controversy. Flip "Female Minifigures" to "Research Institute" and give them all three sets as one. Because SCIENCE! I am in awe of whatever spinmeister came up with that solution.

just2good Posted June 2, 2014 Interesting.......I also want to know what 21050 Studio is and at such a high price too ? It seems like it's just the Architecture Studio reissued $10 more expensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HomerJSimpson Posted June 2, 2014 It seems like it's just the Architecture Studio reissued $10 more expensive. That would be a shame- but at least the Mini Cooper is only $100, as I was really looking forward to that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fred67 Posted June 3, 2014 If you got those 3 (even somewhat modified by TLG) for $20, that would be amazing. Glad I supported this... I really love it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faefrost Posted June 3, 2014 It seems like it's just the Architecture Studio reissued $10 more expensive. Maybe with an International Book this time? Remember the earlier release was US and Canada only and the book was only in English. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Joker1 Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) Well the title says it all really- https://ideas.lego.com/projects/15401 This is our next Lego ideas set, A little boring compared to an ecto-1 but an interestinc choice none the less. Lego CUUSOO Female Minifigure Set by Legocollecter123, on Flickr The set is due to be released in August with an unconfirmed price tag and the new name Research institute. It has not been released exactly what the set will contain or the piece count. Edited June 3, 2014 by The Joker1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know why we need a feminist set, LEGO has really upped the diversity and these days most sets have good male to female ratios. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David Thomsen Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) It shows had badly people need gender equality in Lego sets... and releasing this set will do a lot of positive PR for the Lego company. Apparently it's been renamed 'Research Institute' and will feature three scientists. I won't be getting this for myself, but I do think it's very positive. I don't know why we need a feminist set, LEGO has really upped the diversity and these days most sets have good male to female ratios. Correction, they have better male to female ratios...

The Joker1 Posted June 3, 2014 I don't know why we need a feminist set, LEGO has really upped the diversity and these days most sets have good male to female ratios. Personally i agree, Take a look at any city line and you will find a high number of female figures, Even in other new lines there is a large amount of lead female roles (monster fighters, Ultra agents etc) However im not bothered as if its no good i just won't get one.

Blakstone Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) I can see these as a series of polybags... the equivalent of a LEGO Friends polybag. However, I just don't see how it will work as a one off item. Will it just be the paleontologist? If so, the price would have to be way smaller. Either way, congrats to the winner. I look forward to seeing what the final model looks like. If it has awesome printing on the minifigure, I will pick it up. EDIT: Thanks for the details. Research Institute sounds better and by working several of the vignettes together it places it in the same category as the other IDEAS / CUUSOO projects. Still whether I buy this set for myself really depends on the minifig prints. I might get it as a Christmas present for a niece though. I have one that I start on Friends but also gave her the Scientist and showed her that the hair is interchangeable. Edited June 3, 2014 by Blakstone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

emilstorm Posted June 3, 2014 I think it looks very interesting and would strongly consider buying it. There is however a lot if stuff I can't really use in there, but I guess the Dino can sit in the window or something:) As for the whole gender discussion, I would rather not bring it to eurobricks:) but in general I don't believe releasing a "feminist" set is good for anything in that regard. Isn't that the opposite of equality:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rick Posted June 3, 2014 Another thread has said that it will be $19.95. Threads merged. Since this seems to be contemporary and minifigure scaled, I think it fits best in Town for now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chocolatecake Posted June 3, 2014 I don't know why we need a feminist set, LEGO has really upped the diversity and these days most sets have good male to female ratios. I can't see how this is feminism and I'm not a feminist myself, but I do have an masters degree in chemistry and the year I began at the university at natural science, there were men to women ratio were 20/80 and it's was back then in 2003. At my last job the majority of my colleagues was women with a background in natural science or engineers. And LEGO is getting better to include more women in their sets, but the male minifigs are still the majority in town, just like among AFOL's.. LEGO are for both boys and girls and some girls like playing with dolls and LEGO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
