That was a short notice, but for me it is 06:00AM today according to the link and that sounds unlikely since that was several hours ago.. I assume it is 1-2 hours Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JintaiZ Posted September 30, 2020 Does anyone know why there isn't a blog saying that the results are due today? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fantasticfootno Posted September 30, 2020 Globe and guitars won, Sonic mania is under further review. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adwind Posted September 30, 2020 So we'll get an Earth Globe and Stratocaster from music to our ears contest! Also Sonic is still a possibility and they are still reviewing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JintaiZ Posted September 30, 2020 (edited) Only one made it!? Though I'm happy with the one it is Best of luck @toastergrl!!! Edited September 30, 2020 by JintaiZ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blondie-Wan Posted September 30, 2020 I’m a little disappointed that only one (or possibly two) ideas were approved from such a huge field, but the Earth globe is a fine choice if there’s to be just one. It’s different from what’s been done before, and should make an attractive display item. The Music to Our Ears contest was great to see, and especially tough since no one submission could really represent the full breadth of human musical expression, but the Stratocaster comes about as close as any. I really liked a couple of the others, though, but the Strat will look great, I’m sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MAB Posted September 30, 2020 Two easy passes for me. I don't see the point of having all these everyday objects built from LEGO that aren't as good as the everyday object and more expensive. Piano, typewriter, now globe and guitar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if we count both the Stratocaster and Sonic Mania, which is a total of 3 projects, doesn't feel like enough to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickBob Studpants Posted September 30, 2020 Hey, at least something was approved Some people act like this is the worst announcement of all times, when we once had a review period where not a single set was chosen Now THAT was disappointing! My favourites didn‘t make it, but what they did choose isn‘t half bad and we still have some cool ones releasing rather soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeriXeri Posted September 30, 2020 Globe doesn't really surprise me with the relaunch of Ship in a Bottle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toastergrl Posted September 30, 2020 Definitely thrown me for a loop, but there being no news regarding my set is good news - means they're giving the decision their full attention. Thanks for the well wishes @JintaiZ! It's a bit of a shock to see only one confirmed project from this review, but that's how the cookie crumbles with a crowdsourcing (or is it crowdbuilding?) platform - with a lot of choice for the Ideas team, it is a mathematical inevitability that some people will lose out, even if the quantity is staggering right now. I'm also sure the Music contest's timing may have taken up some production capacity as well. In any case, I am quite excited for that Globe! Congratulations to Disneybrick and the winner of the contest (dunno if he's on Eurobricks), and my condolences to everyone else in this session. Hope things work out for more people in the next one!

JintaiZ Posted September 30, 2020 I know where everyone is coming from. I understand that they all want more than one (or two) projects to make it. However, that's life and we don't have other things to do. Many sets are well made but I think license may be a major issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
7982Brick2 Posted September 30, 2020 (edited) Just cause this review had lots of projects reach 10,000 doesn’t mean that majority had a decent chance. Half of that list had projects that were probably rejected as soon as review period started. Tesla car/Goose game - unfortunate fads that aren’t popular as they were Any space submissions- unlikely since ISS is still being sold Zelda - we been known futurama, Iron giant - been rejected before so it was possible that it would have happened again Modular - We been known mary poplins, coralline, train station - license, size or feasibility chitty car and KIT - creative Expert seems to do big cars and LEGO That’s already half the list of projects in the submission I’m glad that we at least got one approved ( maybe two ) especially since it’s design works well for LEGO ideas.

And people criticized LEGO ideas for being very space heavy. People still have a perception that ideas is basically just all space projects. I think the ideas team would want to space out approved space sets to showcase that ideas is much more than space. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We haven’t had a space set approved in a normal review period since woman of NASA. I definitely think that once ISS is close to retirement we will see a new approved space set. I could be wrong and I hope so since I love LEGO ideas space Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
