Probably that since islanders is not an option either, however the native American sets did not have any cowboys or soldiers in them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adwind Posted January 18, 2021 6 hours ago, Just_a_brick said: I find it very odd that Western sub theme isn’t included in the poll. I have a theory I think the reason for its absence is the fact that Brickwest studios ( project in upcoming results) was approved. The project wouldn’t be released until 2022 due to the enormous backlog we have. The 90th anniversary set is set to release next year and lego wouldn’t want the possibility of two sets competing. I’m probably wrong but there is nothing wrong with speculation. Had the same thoughts actually. I was definitely hoping to see Western in the selection but also even before the poll I thought the Brickwest Studios has a good chance to be approved.

adwind Posted January 19, 2021 So the blacksmith is out and just as I said before I'm happy I didn't judge the set with the leaked images only. I would say official photos and designer's video made me like this set almost as much as like the Old Fishing Store while I felt nothing watching those leaked images... I really like how complete this set is - you have a nice story, the legacy, beautiful detailed 3 floors building and nice minifigs too. Well, it's a bit different from the original submission but I like that it's more colorful now and looks like an actual Lego set rather than a MOC. I'm pretty happy.

Merlo Posted January 19, 2021 I like it. The minifigures clinched the deal for me. Light brick sounds interesting, never had one of those. But basically I'm just starved for Castle sets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonwil Posted January 19, 2021 As much as I like Castle (and even Black Falcons), this set just doesn't do it for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alegrispa Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) So now with a clear look; I am once again very disappointed. While it isn't terrible, it doesn't look nearly as interesting as the original submission. The roof also looks pretty bad. But worst of all: THERE IS NO GOAT! Edited January 19, 2021 by Alegrispa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

autolycus Posted January 21, 2021 I really like it and might actually prefer it to the original submission. IMO, sets like that shouldn’t have too many fiddly details that don’t really add to the overall picture. There’s a balance to be struck and I think the Lego designers have gotten the balance right. I will definitely pick it up. Might be the only 2021 Ideas set I buy, honestly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exetrius Posted January 21, 2021 Do you guys know how to prevent high-res renders from turning blurry when uploaded to IDEAS? My images are 3000x2250 (ratio 4:3), png files. I tried reducing to about half the size, and to jpeg, but that didn't help. Another technical question: how do you embed an image into the project description? Btw, I could find neither of these things in the FAQ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vilhelm22 Posted January 22, 2021 13 projects have already reached the 10k. This is getting seriously out of hand! Noticed a couple which have been rising pretty fast are the Polar Express and a new one from KevinTreeHouse..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Modal Posted January 22, 2021 The castle that is around 5000 now is seriously amazing. Probably the best of all the castle entries of recent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonwil Posted January 23, 2021 Given that they have just done a Castle themed set (in the form of the Blacksmith Shop) I bet they will reject all the other Castle stuff for a while (just like Barracuda Bay probably means no Pirates stuff) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like besides the fact that they are both buildings, there’s nothing remotely similar between a blacksmith house and a castle. I think it’s quite a slap in the face if LEGO thought one blacksmith set satiates the clamoring for a castle. Edited January 23, 2021 by Modal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RODDY Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) https://www.stonewars.net/lego-news/interim-results-of-the-lego-ideas-90th-anniversary-survey/ Looks like oddly Bioncle is in the lead with Classic Space and Pirates behind. Still never got the appeal of Bioncle myself so I hope that doesn’t end up winning. As for Pirates, we already got Barracuda Bay so I’m satisfied and with a Castle set coming, I’m already not all too interested in that either. Classic Space is meh for me as well. Fingers crossed for Adventurers to pull through, would love to see some Egyptian sets. Edited January 23, 2021 by RODDY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't imagine what they would make since Central Perk is the only recognizable part of the show. It would have to be something like brickheadz or a collage or smth.

Frankly I would be quite happy if they are going to release another set based on Friends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MartyMcFly Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) Another Friends set would be great. It has to be Monica's apartment. There is two sets on Rebrickable. A lego set would probably just include the main living area and kitchen, not the bedrooms. The outside balcony would be a great addition as well. And in the same TV stage style. It could include so many easter eggs from the show as well. Would like to see more mini-figures. Jack and Judy Geller, Ben and Emma, Janice, Richard, and a Marcel figure. If an Ideas set sells well, why don't Lego make more sets based on it? The market is there for such sets. Turn the Idea from one set into a new theme. I think that a Friends Fan would love to more sets, maybe even sets of other apartments, Chalders, Ross, and other scenes.

jonwil Posted January 23, 2021 If the Seinfeld set (when it eventually comes out) is anywhere near as good as the Big Bang Theory set was, count me in, I LOVE Seinfeld :) Another Friends-the-TV-show set on the other hand is good for my wallet since I can't stand that show :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
