Hapori Tohu Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 The answer, of course, is "Small YELLOW" by none other than Nathan Sawaya, one of the most famous brick artists around. A smaller version of his famous 'YELLOW' sculpture has reached ten thousand votes of support on LEGO Ideas, meaning it will be reviewed for consideration to be turned into and actual set. I'm sure there would be a lot of demand for these, as Nathan is well-known inside and outside of the LEGO community and his exhibits have been visited by many, many people. Best of luck!

Mr. Cup of Fail Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 It's great that Nathan Small YELLOW idea have hit 10,000 supporters, but I don't see it becoming a set and I think it is very unlikely that it will.

Ghidora131 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I agree with ShadowWolfHount. Due to the fact that it will only be sold online, and the model itself is only known by builders in the LEGO community, it would do terrible at sales.

PDPsi HAN Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 It doesn't have mass appeal, plus the ripping open of the chest might deter some buyers. Quote AΨ 94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prowl Nightwolf Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Yeah I've never heard of this until just now... Not sure I would buy it myself or even want to display it.

Lyichir Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I don't know what's up with all the naysayers. Frankly, Lego has ALREADY voiced confidence in Nathan Sawaya's artwork by making him a Lego Certified Professional, and "Yellow" is perhaps Sawaya's best-known artwork, so I doubt Lego has any qualms about the content. As for the appeal—again, Sawaya makes waves in the art world as well as in the Lego community. I'd even go so far as to call him the best-known AFOL in the world (even though he himself does not consider that label to be accurate in his case). I think this project has a strong chance of success in review. I agree with ShadowWolfHount. Due to the fact that it will only be sold online, and the model itself is only known by builders in the LEGO community, it would do terrible at sales.Most Lego Ideas sets aren't only available online. The Minecraft, Ghostbusters, and Back to the Future sets have all been available through stores like Toys R Us, while even more niche sets like Birds or the Exo-Suit are regularly stocked at Lego brand retail stores as well as some independent toy stores. I could see this particular set being a popular item for museum gift shops and bookstores, like the Lego Architecture sets. 1 Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toa Smoke Monster Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I've never seen the real sculpture before, but now that I have I will say that its really cool. And to have smaller version of it would be neat too. I wish it good luck in the review stage! Quote Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.

Wazdakka Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Never actually seen this before, but it looks like it could actually be an affordable set. Quote Steam Name: Toa Hahli Mahri.
