DrJB Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) I came across this submission on Lego Ideas and what an incredible MOC it is!!! https://ideas.lego.com/projects/86874 I sure would love to see this made into an official set, but possibly with a different color scheme. Great Work!!! Edited March 25, 2015 by DrJB Quote
jorgeopesi Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 One vote is mine but heavy machinery doesn´t like as well as satellites for example... Quote
Mestari Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Actually almost everything that is not licensed (movie, games, tv series etc.) stands no chances, be it good or not. This one's good and so little votes :/ Same goes for your F40 - I can't understand why it's not at 10000 already :( Quote
martijnnab Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Agree, always surprised on how bad most Technic(al) models score on Lego Ideas. The F40 is a "good" example. I also want to publish a Technics model soon on ideas, but hopes are low... Quote

M_longer Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I can't understand why it's not at 10000 already :( Even when it will reach 10k votes, it will not pass the review stage. Why? Because there will be a Creator F40 released in this year. Quote
jorgeopesi Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I didn´t see your post Mestary, thank you for the compliment but I have to say that I never thought my MOC pass, even with 10000, because I already had thought give free instructions for it and so I did months ago. The F40 creator was simple chance. Quote

Mestari Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I better shut my mouth up. I supported all of your entries on Ideas but it seems the general crowd simply prefers licensed set. So not so much new ideas but a rehash of what you saw before somewhere... Not really encouraging. I am testing these waters now too, and already know I won't make it. Maybe it's too original so I choose to take it as a compliment :P Quote
DrJB Posted March 25, 2015 Author Posted March 25, 2015 Not sure about the 'licensed' sets comments. There are still few lines within Lego that have not used any licensing at all: City and Creator, so maybe there is a chance there, and efferman mentioned this dozer is at minifig scale. Quote
martijnnab Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I checked on Lego Ideas, and in general support for great Technic(al) models is quite bad. There should be enough Technic fans out there I would say, but they are not voting. Any ideas on how to reach them better? Quote

I didn´t know that, I thought who want a Lego set with previous free instructions... . I checked on Lego Ideas, and in general support for great Technic(al) models is quite bad. There should be enough Technic fans out there I would say, but they are not voting. Any ideas on how to reach them better? Well the Land Rover of Sheepo was supported because it was an awesome MOC but it is important too an afol group behind the MOC and I think the Land Rover has a big fan club in the world, magazines, forums, etc... this is the secret for a supported MOC.

Online and printed press, etc. I think it is even more famous than his ground-braking Veyron. Edited March 25, 2015 by Lipko Quote
