It looks like no-one wants to use the mutual support thread anyway, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ In other news, since the site was updated my project has been getting on average 1.4 new votes per day. Before that I remember it being 8-10 per day. Have your projects recovered from the drop in votes that people were reporting after the update?

@bountybossk I like that layout! Now, Cloud City is a set I've been waiting for for years... But unfortunately I think this model looks very inconsistent and unfinished. It's not as fragmented as Assault on Hoth, but the design is just as bad in many places. And compared to the Death Star (which as we know is a design that's more than 10 years old) it looks even more studdy, and the room layout isn't as well-thought-out. I'm not fond of the Slave I design either. If I was able to vote I'd rate this set "below average"... I think I'm going to buy Hogwarts Castle instead.

Every time I try to vote the poll just disappears, and as long as I'm signed in it won't show me the results either. Am I doing something wrong?

@Modeltrainman Thank you! Are you going to post a link to one of your projects as well? It looks like this didn't catch on quite as well yet as I would've expected. I wonder what percentage of the 1700 active Ideas projects is by Eurobricks members anyway...

Could anyone who has both of the 2018 Dumbledore minifigures take a picture of the CMF one with the hair piece of the Richard Harris one? I'd like to know what he looks like without the hat.

Here's a render of the Vostok and Saturn V rockets side by side - the scale should be pretty similar: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/0630bb23-59e5-4eb4-8ba0-a1c88c5e8602/updates

That was the plan. Voting for, I don't know, 100 projects doesn't seem so bad if one really gets the same number of votes in return.

Since the thread hasn't been closed or moved in 14 hours, I presume it's okay... Let's see if it catches on! So, yeah, I'll support yours if you support mine: Vostok 1 - The First Manned Spaceflight Projects supported so far: Up to and including "Modeltrainman - The Sea Duck from Talespin"

I'm kind of surprised that no "mutual aid threads" seem to have formed yet, where everyone would be allowed to post his best project and in turn pledges to support all other projects in the thread.

I've only gotten one new vote on my latest project since the update, which is very unusual. Maybe people are struggling to re-activate their accounts? Or certain projects somehow lost their visibility? (Or maybe the counter itself isn't displaying properly anymore?)

Ideas seems to be online again, but if I try to sign into my account it says something like "Thanks for signing up for a free LEGO® Account" and asks me to type in a new activation code. Is this normal?

Just a quick MOC I built today, after reading a comment that went like "Fire Station? What's next, a Winter Village Jailhouse?"

Maybe it's inspired by Christmas pyramids? I don't really like the bright red and green color scheme - it makes this set (and the 2016 train) look tackier than the other Winter Village sets and promos.

Both Ninjago City and Ninjago City Docks seem to be quite popular. Do you think there's a chance that we might get one or more of the settings of this movie as modular-like D2C sets as well?

A lot of Harry Potter minifigure parts that were listed but not available seem to have been removed completely now. I hope that means the remaining ones - for example the new hair pieces that hopefully aren't licensed - will become available soon...
