I really like the little submarine!

Me too, that was probably my favorite of the 4 little vehicles.  But all of them were simple but effective designs.

LEGO Ideas - LEGO Moments in Space - Winners

Spoiler

Grand Prize Winner

Cosmic Rocket Ride! (Coin Operated) by mjsmiley

5240605-5109841-LegoCosmicRocket_1-8o08I

Here's what the judges had to say about the Grand Prize Winning entry: 

In general, we were also positive towards this as it was the one with the most votes from the fans and we strived to meet what the fans votes for.

Overall coolness and originality: 25%

  • Brings back childhood memories
  • The overall function of the model is extremely cute and definitely adds value to the item
  • The model is vibrant in colour and would look awesome on the packaging

Most inspired details: 25%

  • Used postbox element as coinbox

Relevance to contest theme: 25%

  • You imagine while you are riding that you are in or going to Space
  • Ride is obviously shaped as a space rocket

Best use of LEGO elements: 25%

  • Fits a Minifigure or a Mini-doll inside, bringing more emotional appeal

Meh.

I was really hoping that the winner would be a Classic Space project.  Failing that, at least a project that depicted, oh, I don't know, Moments in Space...

Really? That's a mediocre tablescrap model that doesn't fulfil the brief.
Lets celebrate moments in space by building something that has nothing to do with moments in space - top logic lego ideas.
I can only assume that it was chosen to fit in with the often hinted at line of theme park rides, although we'll never know as the whole decision process is shady at best.

Less Moments in Space

More Moment Distracting Your Child at the Mall While you Shop

I actually like the design, but I totally agree, it doesn't fulfil the brief.

There was even another contest entry that was similar. It may not be a totally original idea but I don't consider it a rip off or anything.

Which one? I remember the Classic Spaceship coin-op ride entry, is that the one you're speaking of?

I thought the controversy would be about how it's not a Moment in Space...

In the comments to that article, only one brought up that lamentation. :def_shrug:

So, the finalized "Coin-Operated Space Ride" GWP set has apparently leaked over on Instagram, and at least it's a touch better than the original submission (for what it's worth). :shrug_confused:
