LegoDog0126 Posted November 3, 2018 hey everyone, I just checked the LEGO ideas content guidelines, and it has changed since the last time I looked at it. The main thing I notice is that I no longer see the ban on projects relating to current LEGO licenses, am I just glancing over wherever it is, or did they remove it?

Bricked1980 Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) Really pleased to say my project, The Old Workhorse - Traction Engine is on display at Birmingham NEC in the UK, for the next 3 days (9th-11th November) at "The Classic Motor Show". The model is part of the FBHVC show stand. So if anyone is visiting The Motor Show over the weekend, you can see my model on display in Hall 5 right next to the Discovery Channel Live Stage. They have even set up a system where a member of the FBHVC can help visitors to vote for the model on the spot! Here are some pictures of the display, I've been helping to set up at Birmingham NEC.

Bricked1980 Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) Just wanted to let everyone know I have added another one of my MOC's to LEGO IDEAS! The model is called "Miniature Steam Machines". I had originally designed this as a little side project to my other IDEAS entry "The Old Workhorse", but the models have received some positive feedback online so I have decided to give them their own shot at LEGO IDEAS. Here is the link to this project on IDEAS https://lego.build/2FkizwM Edited November 15, 2018 by Bricked1980 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icm Posted November 14, 2018 Supported! Thanks for splitting these into their own project. I know the full-size version is very well scaled to a minifig, but based on my own Lego habits I'd prefer to have these. They would be much better for idly rolling about on a desk as I read a textbook or do homework, which is how I usually play with Lego. Still, this project would be even better if, like Microfighters, it came with the same minifigs as the full-size version. (I do hope the full-size version makes it all the way to 10K, though. It's not only a nice model that would work well as an official set, but the presentation is impeccable.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MatthewRC Posted November 18, 2018 (edited) I'm speechless. I tried to submit a product idea based on the Cartoon Network show "Courage the Cowardly Dog" proposing Eustace Bagge's Truck in brickfigure scale, but LEGO Ideas considers Courage the Cowardly Dog an inappropriate IP for some bizarre reason. This is absurd! Courage the Cowardly Dog is supposed to be family-friendly, not explicit! Meanwhile, a few months ago, some other user successfully submitted a Courage the Cowardly Dog project. Why can't I post my own? https://ideas.lego.com/projects/4e949780-e591-4d26-885c-7aa8a3fa25aa (not my project, this was made by someone else) Sorry for being angry, but I was just expressing my thoughts. I really wish LEGO Ideas would just let me submit my own Courage project. Edited November 18, 2018 by MatthewRC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robert8 Posted November 26, 2018 We are almost a month away from the next deadline, and at this point there are only 2 (!) projects qualified for the review And from what I'm seeing, only 1 project has enough supporters to achieve the 10k milestone before the deadline. That would mean, the next review will be only for 3 projects Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There have been a small handful of projects that rocketed to 10k in just two or three weeks, and one that got there in less than two days. Something could still surprise us tomorrow. But yeah, it’s certainly possible we’ll have a tiny batch of just two or three projects. EDIT: Actually looking at it just now, I’m not seeing anything that’s qualified (i.e., nothing comes up under “Achieved Support”). What ones are you seeing?

Bricked1980 Posted November 26, 2018 What is the date for the next deadline then? It doesn't seem like five minutes since we had the last one. I'm pretty sure The Food Stand Diners by @Frostbricks can get there, it only has a few hundred votes left to go. Looks as if a new batch of 10K club interviews have just started to up as well. https://ideas.lego.com/blogs/a4ae09b6-0d4c-4307-9da8-3ee9f3d368d6/post/337e11fe-fe0f-4f1c-bf6b-688ae86028de Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blondie-Wan Posted November 26, 2018 Ahh, I see the two projects now - the Chemical Plant and the Dinosaurs Fossils Skeletons - Natural History Collection. I must have experienced some momentary site glitch. The next deadline should be early January. I’m not sure of the exact date, but I think around January 3rd.

Bricked1980 Posted December 4, 2018 I've managed to get my project featured in another magazine. This one is called "Old Glory" and is a specialist magazine aimed at steam enthusiasts in the UK. They've given me a full page article all about my LEGO Ideas campaign. Hopefully this might bring in a few votes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LEGO Ideas - UCS Chitty Chitty Bang Bang by Norders This MOC just reminds me how much I hate the "chrome everything" approach to MOCing. For physical MOCs, it usually strikes me as a bit excessive—for digital ones like this it goes beyond that to just plain deceptive, since not only is the number of chromed ABS parts excessive (especially considering Lego tends to avoid chroming parts without a mold expressly designed to allow for the coating process), there's no way that flexible parts like flex cable and tires could be chromed like that.

icm Posted December 5, 2018 It does look really good as a digital build, but as has been pointed out already, it would be physically impossible to build as submitted, even allowing for recolored parts. I can see this making it to 10k and becoming a set, but as usual not without a complete redesign by TLG. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
