Stud-u-like Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 The big sets are impressive, especially the Nautilus but they will never make it into production, the other sets look really lame to me. It looks like the Concorde was made from fake Lego in 20 minutes flat and the National Park set is just terrible. If it wasn't for the rolling BB-8 model I think ideas 2016 would have been a write off so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Raichu Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I have a feeling National Park will be chosen, if nothing else to bring down the average price of IDEAS set. Also the Beatles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbacunn Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I'll be stunned if they ever make an Ideas set that is 1000 pieces or more. Don't see it happening. Love the Land Cruiser and Saturn V. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Briggs Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I'd love to buy Beatles Yellow Submarine, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Nautilus and Victorian London Christmas. Unfortunately, I doubt any of these has good chances of being released as an Ideas set. Under the right circumstances (this excludes overproduction), all of them could turn out to be great investments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolanfan34 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Beatles would be an amazing shocker. I can't even imagine the licensing involved with the different estates to use the likenesses. National Park Service seems too US focused, I can't imagine that would have much if any WW appeal? I like the Concorde idea and they could improve it for final design. If one of them makes it through, I would bet on Apollo first, Landcruiser second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meowsmeowsmeows Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Thanks, nice poll and thread given the IDEAS results from today. I like the NPS set, but if it would have had larger, scenes from more iconic parks (i.e., Old Faithful from Yellowstone NP; Yosemite's iconic waterfall Bridal Veil Falls), it would hold more worldwide appeal. But, I would vote on this set most likely getting into production out of all of them. I'm sure Lego has already "borrowed" ideas on the modulars from the last two IDEAS rounds and we may see them at some point directly from Lego. Given the ambiguous nature of IDEAS project's acceptances these days, I'm not sure any of these get in, even the NPS set. I have no idea how some of the projects get accepted and other, of more merit, get declined other than piece count and potential licensing issues. Unless Lego "borrowed" one of the recent LOTR set ideas, we will not likely see another one of those sets, which disappoints me greatly. A $350-$500 Minas Tirith or Rivendell seems not to be out of place given Lego can produce a $350 Ghostbusters HQ, which seems to be an audience even more limited.

Alpinemaps Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 The submission period for January 2016 to May 2016 closed yesterday. LEGO has nine new entries to consider (same as this period). Considering the difference between a close date of the beginning of January and an announcement date of March, we may be waiting until the beginning of July before we see the results from this.

The problem with that is I bought a GBH just based on the building without actually seeing the films. Because it looks good with modular sets and is a cheap alternative to the modular firehouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exciter1 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 As much as I want it to be the Apollo rocket, admittedly, the Yellow Submarine is far more interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lego rules Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 If it the final product looks good, I would buy the Saturn V rocket to put on display beside the Space Shuttle Expedition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbacunn Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Disappointed they didn't make the Landcruiser. Yellow Submarine doesn't interest me personally but it could be a good investment set. I might buy the Saturn V depending on how it turns out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the earlier era Beatles, but the Yellow Submarine is interesting to me from an iconic perspective. I'd actually prefer to have the Concorde over the Saturn V rocket. Now I need to go look for an SR-71 Blackbird MOC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redghostx Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I am surprised that Lego got a licensing agreement for the Beatles set but that will definitely be a first day purchase for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inversion Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 The rocket is 1m tall. I dig that. It would be nice to have the version with the interior, however unlikely it is. Anyway I do like these results very much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivyhedge Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I'm happy with these: not a huge Beatles fan, but I'll get two and buy several as gifts for huge fans (and then probably build them for the recipients). Saturn V? In another life that was my field. So, uh: yeah, with a cherry on top. Both first day purchases for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martae54 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Finally a Lego set I can buy FOR my MOM!!! She will absolutely love the Yellow Submarine! I hope she doesn't find out about it before hand! What a great surprise it would be!!! She saw the Beatles when she was 18 and STILL To this day talks about it when a Beatles song plays! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micbelt Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 The next review period will be interesting, I predict a lot of people upset if the Voltron set is not picked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
