LEGO Announces LEGO Ideas Revisited

March 31, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 11 Comments

LEGO today has announced in a new initiative that Ideas projects that were rejected during their respective Review Stages to have a second chance in becoming an official set. This new plan is called “LEGO Ideas Revisited” and starting this summer, fans will be able to vote for projects in a head-to-head format similar to the March Madness bracket.

Early on there weren’t that many CUUSOO/Ideas projects that qualified at a certain Review Stage so for the first Revisited voting period, LEGO will be combining a few of the early Review Stages together to create the bracket determined by when they achieved 10,000 supporters. Each voting period will vary depending on the number of projects being considered. For the first bracket, there will be three weeks of voting until the winner is chosen at the end which you can see above.

The first bracket pits the Winchester – Shaun of the Dead, Eve Online Rifter, and The Legend of Zelda against each other with the winner going up against outcome of the Modular Western Town, UCS Sandcrawler (even though we already have one), and Thinking with Portals! matchup.

After the winner is chosen, the LEGO Jury will again deliberate to see if that particular project will become a set. It will go through the same rules as before so nothing has changed there. Check out the full press release below.

March 13, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 5 Comments

When LEGO announced that the Maze (21305) would be the next released LEGO Ideas set, there was a mixed reaction from fans. Some loved the nostalgia of the old school wooden Labyrinth Marble Maze game including me while others felt that another project would have been a better choice. LEGO has graciously sent us a review copy of the Maze and here is my official review of the set.

LEGO Ideas Maze (21305) Officially Revealed

March 2, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

LEGO has officially revealed the next LEGO Ideas set with the Maze (21305). The set was conceived by Jason Allemann (JK Brickworks) and it will be available on April 1st for $69.99. Along with the Maze build, the set will also have a removable container to store the balls. Read more about the design process of the Maze (21305) over on their blog post.

LEGO Ideas Maze – The reinvention of a classic!

The latest LEGO Ideas product reinvents the classic ball and labyrinth game, but adds a twist of creative LEGO building to the fun.

Built entirely from LEGO elements, the LEGO Maze consists of a base frame and a simple tip and tilt mechanism made up of LEGO beams and axles. You turn the wheels to move the maze up and down or from side to side guiding the ball away from the traps.

The interchangeable maze system means you can easily swap maze plates without having to rebuild the entire game. Once you’ve mastered the two maze designs included with the set, you will find lots of inspiration to start creating your own mazes using the bricks included or any of your own LEGO elements.
