I have no problem with digital submissions. But I would like LEGO to start releasing more projects that are actually more than just expensive decorations for the shelf. Most of the Ideas sets are mainly display sets. Usually, if they decide to approve a set that is considered a playset, it is a project referring to series popular in America. In my country, for example, almost no one watches The Office, and no one I know has ever heard of the Seinfeld series, and it is basically only associated with the fact that it was chosen instead of a diorama set that Bionicle fans really wanted. But interestingly, LEGO rejected two projects that would have sold in millions of copies: Ichiraku Ramen Shop (from Naruto) and, something I will never understand- Shrek's Swamp. If any of you clicked on the link to my TOP 10 LEGO Ideas projects, you probably thought that (even if they all get 10k votes) LEGO wouldn't choose any of them. And unfortunately, you're probably right. But I've chosen the most creative ones, which are characterized by the values that LEGO is based on, such as creativity, uniqueness and imagination. In theory, the project I put at the first place has some slight chances. But usually when I think a project is a sure winner, LEGO rejects it, so while such a set of dioramas for role-play sessions is something fresh, especially since LEGO has no answer to Warhammer, D&D or similar role-play board games, then I'm not sure if LEGO would make such a gift for LEGO Castle fans and release it. Maybe we'll get a Spirited Away set at last...

Actually, from what I see, LEGO is rejecting all castles, modulars and playsets. We have already a lot of NASA stuff so I don't see a need for another ones. Buildable plants are already available too. Coraline could be chosen, but it's an another huge house so I think, LEGO will prefer to choose something different. I'd like to see some projects which will be fitting for my medieval dark fantasy diorama inspired by WoW, which I'm going to start building. And of course, something related to some anime series. They've rejected Naruto, but I've seen great set inspired by Oban Star Racers. Actually, I've even made a YT vid which was supposed to support the Whizzing Arrow 3 submission, but at the current moment, it has only 20 views (3 from my friends) so probably it won't get 10K in time...

This is what I want: And this is what LEGO will probably choose:

Yeah, Twilight project was pretty random. From last review, I've expected four sets to be chosen: -Toa Head Statue, because of the four series that led in the voting on the occasion of LEGO's ninetieth anniversary, even though Bionicle took first place, only this series of the four finalists did not receive a specific anniversary set, so fans deserved for such compensation. -Naruto: Ichiraku Ramen Shop, because it is probably the most popular anime in the world, which was broadcasted on many Western and European channels, and this production is relatively not so violent (compared to for example Indiana Jones with melting faces etc.), so it would probably not be against LEGO's policy -Welcome to Narnia, because we have anniversry and it was confirmed that we'll get another adaptation -Shrek's Swamp. Do I need to explain, why? :) Actually, I was sure that this year LEGO will announce first LEGO Ideas project which I will be willing to buy, but it seems that I'll have to wait a bit longer... I really don't get why LEGO is always refusing to choose sets which would mean a sure profit on a large scale and instead choose things that are completely niche.
