The review sessions begin in waves of every four months, regardless of when they have their results announced. The last one was January 6th, and the newspost for that one announced the next cut-off date will be May 4th. So that's 26 in total with no last-minute additional upset forthcoming, since there's no fast-moving projects near the top of the list at current. What a wild ride! Congratulations to the most recent people whose projects have reached 10k - including Disneybrick55, who is probably the first person to have two projects in one review session..!?

Well, 23 now - @brettcuv got their updated Iron Giant design to 10k a second(!!) time after its previous rejection. Major congrats, and best of luck this time around!

Congrats @Hickernator and ThomasW (he's not on Eurobricks as far as I'm aware). I don't necessarily agree that if the one from the previous session doesn't make it, this one won't. Maybe they have a good discussion with the IP holder but figured that a train would be a better sell than a house filled with crossdressing musicians, which is a progressive concept but maybe not considered appropriate for the LEGO brand? It's definitely 22, I've been counting with friends as we go along and get closer and closer to the cut-off date. I also don't see Untitled Goose Game listed twice on my end.

Okay, I adore these. Mei's one of my favourite minifig designs for sure, but this is like... the Ninjago Movie 2 toyline squared, with a varied cast of protagonist characters rather than colour-coded sentai ninjas? Definitely looking forward to this.

jonwil probably thinks that because the original pitch for that model didn't include any figures in it, and the other "Matt Groening cinematic universe" cartoon (shut up I don't know what else to call the group :P ) had unique head molds which definitely couldn't be done through Ideas due to limitations on new tooling. It would totally damage the appeal of the set because I'm sure not a single person who gave the project a support thought the absence of figures was anything but a negative, but I could absolutely see it happening if the set was selected fo production as a possibility.

Congrats to the creator of the waterfall! They're probably not a Eurobricks member, but if they do end up seeing this I might as well be curteous. It's a lovely design, especially with the flowing water bricks and the explorer stuff and mineshaft around it. Thank you! Fingers crossed all goes well and we can coexist - I'd love to be able to add both to my shelves :P At risk of repeating myself, how many projects this review session is accumulating is downright unprecedented and a little scary. ^u^;;

Yeah, agreed Vilhelm22. Congrats @ExeSandbox - this is an absolute corker and even at risk to my own project I definitely think it's a very, very solid concept that deserves to be picked up. What a meteoric rise for sure!

Congrats to them! It looks like a difficult thing to put together with everything askance at angles and such, but definitely compelling. Jeepers, and I thought 15 was a lot. There's gonna be over 20 projects, isn't there?. The Spongebob and Waterfall ones are less than a week away at their current pace, and the other Queen design can't hover near the top of the list forever. Is it the quarantine across the world getting lots of people voting more than they usually would?

That... makes a lot of sense, actually, because I distinctly remember one session in the past where no product ideas made it through review. Thank you for allaying a significant portion of my worries :D Good luck with your Lifeguard Shack, which I just voted for, and although you probably can't say anything hope things are going well in review with your Home Alone house design!

Totally!! Although I will note that Ideas session deadlines are in increments of four months, and the last one was at the start of January - so I think they'll need to reach 10k in the next three weeks or so to join the session. Still a chance for it to cross 20 projects, which is downright bewildering considering the last one was 12, but... It's funny you mention the Krusty Krab, too. At last count it's still under 9k but considering it was at 8500 yesterday that's still a definite joining in before the time limit expires, way more guaranteed than even the Queen Spirit Train or Waterfall designs which currently head the list for now. I daresay the Ideas crew probably weren't expecting people to be in quarantine looking for stuff to do and be voting up by the barrelful! Frankly it makes me nervous about my own project's chances with that much solid competition in store ^^;; Do you think they'll up the number of potential products, defer some to the next session if *that* looks a little thin, or make some adjustments to the qualifications?

Congrats to that project - and the ancient Rome microscale design that reached 10k only hours behind it! Every time you post a picture of those gorgeous cars @Digger of Bricks I want them more and more. It's really disappointing that they're only at 144 supporters right now - I've shared it with my friends but I dunno what else can be done there. :c

Nope, sorry for being ambigious; I don't mean the session of projects currently being considered, I mean the session of projects that reach 10k before the start of May, the second 2020 review. I believe there were 12 in the third 2019 review. I have a different hunch. They've recently doubled down on the "10,000" signalling - including the new red 10k club highlight next to users' names in the comments and wherever else the username is shown. I think the next change we'll see to the status quo is future projects recieving less days to reach that number, to drop projects like the SpaceX Falcon 9, the recent Snowgroomer, or Retro Bowling Alley which crossed the line with less than a month left. It's not ideal, but it's the most natural way to add a little tightening without damaging the experience for most users.

Congrats indeed @povoq ^u^ Lovely design, potentially well-matching with the Pirates of Barracuda Bay as a Castle equivalent! Fifteen in this review session now. I wasn't sure before, but now I'm reasonably confident this is the largest review session ever. Wonder how they'll handle it...

Congrats to the creators of KITT *and* the Snow-groomer PRINOTH LEITWOLF, of which the latter project just reached 10k! This review session is fourteen strong already, with a few more projects not far behind at all. This is at odds with the around-ten average we've had over the last few years. Some real tough competition!

I never had a huge amount of firsthand experience with Pirates growing up, but I can tell that this is an exceptional set and I desperately wish it was something I could own. So much love is evident in it!!

Congrats to the creator of the fishing boat! I do like that design quite a bit, and it has some good techniques, but there's a bit of danger in overlap with the Hidden Side boat (which uses the same palette). This one is way more of a display piece, though. The review session begins every four months - so since the start of January had the last one, it would make sense that the next one is at the beginning of May. Okay, I misread the question. I think the Winnie the Pooh/Blacksmith reveal was in February, so four months on from then is likely June, yeah.

Again - sorry for the late response, GeoBrick! Benny's looking out into my room and seeing all the pieces he can use for spaceships currently stored away in boxes... :P Anyhow, hi again! I've been slowly building on this over the past few months. Here's its current state! The Blacktron viper was a little hard to keep upright so I ended up making this vignette completely civillian focused, and I did a few Bricks and Pieces orders in order to add a hangar and change the parts on the Monorail section. It unfortunately flexes a little in the middle when I pick it up, but I think it's otherwise coming along nicely, no? ^u^

Thank you very much @TeriXeri and @Exetrius ^u^

Thank you @Bricked1980! Saw your comment on Ideas too, we joined the 10k club together :D You might need to update your signature now, though - methinks Bricks and Blooms doesn't need the help :P

Thank you very much @Digger of Bricks!! It's been exhausting on some levels but also so exciting at the same time and I'm so glad everything finally worked out - I thought it was gonna be at least another week after Bricked1980, but only a day - incredible to have experienced. On Mar10 day of all days, in fact... the rivalry of SEGA and Nintendo lives strong ^u^

Okay, this is a surprise. Anyone remember the whole N&B Block thing where Nintendo and LEGO ended up in litigation over producing a clone brand? While LEGO's willing to let licensing bygones be bygones, I would've thought Nintendo'd still be avoiding them. Good to know that's not the case, at least. Weird figure, but potentially a successor to the board games line (with digital components)..? At the very least seeing what the sets turn out like will be entertaining.

The wonderful Bricks and Blooms just reached 10k! I believe I may have seen the person responsible for this project on Eurobricks before, but I'm not sure what their username would be here. Either way, congratulations are in order! ^u^

That project is downright exceptional and totally deserves to smash 10k. It's GORGEOUS. The aliens don't quite match the traditional ones, but with an inability to deliver new pieces it makes sense.

The Savanna Master is excellent, and I've voted for it and shared it with my friends. The Bowling Alley is also quite worthwhile as a concept, although there might be a little bit of a conflict with the Flintstone's bowling pins/ball gimmick. Definitely less convinced by the merit of the Indiana Jones project, in the same vein as Lego David's criticism. I could understand a new approach to a scene from one of the movies featuring modern building techniques and print quality and aimed at AFOLs whilst still providing some play value for kids, but this little series of vignettes perplexes me with respect to the amount of value it provides. Is this something adult fans would be interested in buying in and of itself, or is it just that - much like thenightman89's thoughts - they want more Indiana Jones and are backing what would allow for it? Of course, congratulations to the creator - getting 10k is a real challenge, and I respect the hustle of anyone who does it in such a short time. It's taken me a year so far to get my project to 91%, and even in the best case scenario it's likely at least another month before all is said and done!

Heartbreaking news. Condolences to his family and friends - but let us celebrate what he accomplished in his time.
