jonwil Posted November 5, 2019 I think the difference is that the Caterham is a somewhat unique vehicle offered by a very niche manufacturer and LEGO had not produced anything similar (nor would they have been likely to do so in the absence of the ideas project) whereas the Scania is just another truck that's not all that different to things they have already done like the Mercedes Benz or Mack.

mpj Posted November 5, 2019 Well, I feel quite impossible to reach 10k supporters so maybe this discussion is useless. Thanks anyway for sharing your point of view. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Though it makes sense, for me the guaranteed printed decorations is one the theme's strongest assets and one of the main reasons why I like the theme. I don't apply stickers, so if the set relies on stickers to make it work, I'm not buying. On second thought, I'm not buying a lot of sets anyway, but I usually do order many printed pieces from B&P. 100 per cent! Knowing any designs would be guaranteed to be prints rather than stickers was one of my favourite aspects of the Ideas theme. Seems that's most certainly a thing of the past now.

It obviously sneaked past the "no modern warfare" rule on submission. But would LEGO make a (relatively modern) warship but not WW1 or WW2 tanks and so on? They did the Sopwith Camel, with guns, so would they also do this with guns...? It is also a war memorial, which again is against their rules.

Digger of Bricks Posted November 18, 2019 The Brick Fan - LEGO Ideas Toronto Rocket Subway Train Achieves 10,000 Supporters Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonwil Posted November 18, 2019 I can't see that subway train being approved. We haven't seen an AFOL targeted train since the Horizon Express (and no the Disney train doesn't count since its got the license of the most famous theme park in the world attached to it) and an Ideas train would likely have an even higher barrier to pass than a regular old AFOL targeted train (especially something with that many pieces). Maybe if it was a replica of a more well known or famous train (one that people from all over the world know and recognize) it might have more of a chance but I dont think the Toronto subway is famous enough.

Exetrius Posted November 19, 2019 I'm familiar with neither the Toronto subway, nor the Dumbo train. I'm not well-educated when it comes to trains, not at all. I think I know four famous trains: the TGV from Thalys, the Shinkansen, the Eurostar and the Orient Express. For me, the Dutch NS trains are also iconic, but that's the extent of my knowledge. Anyway, remember that pirate head that was leaked, and we thought it might be from the Ideas Pirate Bay? It turned up in a city set (which doesn't mean it can't be in the Pirate Bay, of course): Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then I guess the chance of getting the pirate bay this year is really slim Anyway it is better they take the time to make a best possible set instead of rushing to get it released in the year of the 30 year anniversary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bricked1980 Posted November 19, 2019 Slightly worried. I've just been on the Lego Ideas site and all my projects have vanished from the site. In fact it looks like everybody's projects have gone. Only contest entries are showing up. Has anyone else noticed this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well I noticed the site was offline a couple of hours ago for "routine maintenance" so it looks as if they've made a major glitch in the process. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

TheNerdyOne_ Posted November 19, 2019 Same issue here! Don't worry though, the projects are all still there. It seems this issue only happens when you're logged in, I logged out and everything looked normal. Just log out and you should be able to see your projects. It's probably just a simple filter that got messed up during the maintenance, I'm sure it will be fixed here soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For a moment I was worried mine had all been deleted. Only problem is it means nobody can currently vote for any projects because as soon as you try to log in to cast your vote it stops the page from being viewable.
