Hapori Tohu Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 This falls under the category of totally unexpected and somewhat perplexing announcements: The LEGO Ideas team has decided not to let any of the fourteen projects that reached 10k supporters between January and May 2015 pass the review stage. The oddball is F7A Hornet - Star Citizen, which was not declined yet and is still in review instead. Unfortunately, LEGO is not giving any individual explanations for any project and instead only refers to some of the general reasons why a project may be rejected. Hopefully the second 2015 review will bring better news. Check out the official announcement for more details.

Sybre Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Boy, what a massacre! Looking at some of the explanations, I wonder if this is foreshadowing to some cool stuff coming up. Quote mindeth the cobwebs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster Nui Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Well, that wasn't something I expected to hear. I'm not worried myself because I wasn't necessarily interested in any of the projects, but I understand that it's both disappointing for LEGO and the people who put a lot of effort and time into these projects.

doodleloot Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Man, that's pretty disappointing to hear. You would think that under those 14 ideas there would be at least one that would make it into production. Quote Hail Denmark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wazdakka Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 What's the rationale for not giving specific reasons for not accepting a design? Wouldn't that help designers in the future?

Zeb Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 A bit sad, but seeing as that most either conflicted with a current/upcoming Lego set/theme or probably had IP issues, it's not surprising. As for the next review group... Adventure Time: Perhaps, if they can get the IP, that is. Caterham Super Seven: It's probably too big, but if not, then it could pass. Modular Library, Rivendell, Lothlorien: Too big, probably won't pass. Lego Physics: Seems rather big, but I suppose if a marble maze can pass then maybe it can too. Ghostbusters Stay Puft Marshmallow Man: Since Lego already has the Ghostbusters license, that may hinder this project's chances. But you never know... Indominus Rex: A white, slightly modified Tyrannosaurus Rex from the previous review? There's no way. The Little Prince: Maybe.

Toa Smoke Monster Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 This hasn't happened before, has it? Because this is the first time I've seen none of the sets in a review stage not pass. It's a shame, because I really liked some of these sets. Quote Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.

masterchirox580 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Once again the legend of zelda does not pass. You know considering how often this has been requested I'm still wondering why lego haven't tried to get a license with Nintendo. Unless Nintendo themselves aren't interested (in which case why wouldn't they be?). Quote It's time to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHTrilogy Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 What?! Well what was the point in picking those things up for review if they're just going to dump 'em?! Quote ~ CHTrilogy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aanchir Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 What?! Well what was the point in picking those things up for review if they're just going to dump 'em?!First, anything that gets 10,000 supports goes to review. The LEGO Group doesn't hand-pick them. Second, the LEGO Group often doesn't know what would actually be viable as a set UNTIL they get to review. That's what the review process is for — determining which projects have what it takes to become a set and which ones don't. The LEGO Group isn't going to lower their standards for what they release as sets just so something makes it through in a crowded review period. 2 Quote Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
