Hapori Tohu Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 2015 starts off with the release of the new LEGO Ideas #009 set, 21301 Birds. This model was designed by Tom Poulsom and passed through LEGO Cuusoo (now LEGO Ideas) to become an official set. Now it's available for purchase, but just how good are these avian sculptures?

Takuta-Nui Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 First time reading a review of an Ideas set, and I didn't realize that the box and instructions booklet were different for a more premium feel. Very cool. This and the awesome price makes me seriously consider picking this up for myself. Do Ideas sets have a limited run, though? Thanks for the review. This highlights how LEGO can make even mundane things like birds take on a neat new feel. It's all about the medium.

Toa Smoke Monster Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I didn't even realize this had became a set until I saw it on the front page. I'm really happy that this is available of the public, because it looks like a really great set. I like all the birds that can be built in it, though the Bluejay is probably my favorite. Thanks for the review! Quote Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xccj Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Do Ideas sets have a limited run, though? Generally, yes. The Mars Rover, Research Institute, and Exo Suit all sold out within days of their release, and while the Exo Suit has seen extra runs, the other two are pretty much sold out, unless you happen to come across them in store. The Birds haven't sold out yet, but if you want them, I would suggest looking into it sooner than later. And yea, they only announced that the project had made it back in November, so it's a fairly fast turnaround.

Perhaps this one will have to get passed over but there'll be more Ideas sets, of course.

Latrodectus Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Definitely picking this up. It's a gorgeous set and I supported the original Cusoo page. Glad to see the blue jay made it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
