Lego Ideas Creation Thief

[RacerRabbit]

I thought I'd bring this up and get it off my chest.

This link: http://www.moc-pages.com/moc.php/336586 shows my model of Sonic's car from Sonic and All Stars Racing Transformed. If you look at the date on that creation's page, it says August 10, 2012.

I was looking through some creations on the Lego Ideas website when I suddenly came across this: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/152870

Somebody by the username of "RussianCasey" has stolen my creation and claims it as his own. Not only that, if you look at the comments on that Ideas page, other users think it's his as well.

I'm furious! And I don't have an account on there yet (as the activation e-mail hasn't shown up yet) so I can't go and point out that it's actually mine. What should I do? Please help me out.

It appears as though you are correct, and should be quite outraged! Good luck in your efforts to get LEGO to address this. I hope you are successful. How often does this sort of thing happen with LEGO ideas?

I would just wait for the confirmation and click "Flag project". Don't worry, it won't reach 100 supporters before you receive it.

I'm not sure. This is the first i've seen of this.

True. Plus, we are already getting Sonic's car in the form of that new Dimensions level pack in November. But even so, it's absolutely shameful to just take pictures from someones MOCPages creation and just plonk it onto Lego Ideas and say it's yours. I hope I can sort all of this out.

Don't worry, you will. Stealing ideas is not really tolerated on Lego ideas. I know it's frustrating when people do this kind of thing, but it could be worse (imagine the people who get stolen views from their Youtube videos).

Anyways, just wait it out, and I can guarantee they'll take it down.

I flagged it and gave the links to here and the MOCpages. I can't stand people who do that.

Please keep us updated. I am quite interested in this process. Thank you.

Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

The page is now gone. Thank you for all your help!

I'm glad you spotted this and I'm glad it got taken care of.

I hate thiefs. Glad to see the problem has been fixed.
