LEGO Ideas I am Amelia Earhart Achieves 10,000 Supporters

March 26, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The I am Amelia Earhart project by Ellen Kooijman (Alatariel) and Brad Meltzer is the latest one to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The project has 186 pieces and it is based on the children’s book of the same name with it featuring the famous pilot along with her yellow plane, Canary. With this project hitting 10k supporters, it is Alatariel’s fourth project to hit that mark. There was a slight scare for this project because it was down to its last 30 days of its final extension but there was a lot of support the last day or so to help it get over the hump.

The project now joins the Embraer A-29 Super Tucano, SR-71A The Final Flight, Treehouse, Stitch, and Modular Arcade as the projects to qualify for the First 2018 Review Stage.

LEGO Ideas TRON: Legacy (21314) Designer Video

March 25, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The LEGO Ideas TRON: Legacy (21314) was announced last week and LEGO has released the designer video of the set. This video actually goes into the design process a little bit more than previous designer videos as a majority of the video talks about the set more rather than the LEGO designers Junya Suzuki and Mark Tranter. The LEGO Ideas TRON: Legacy set will be available starting on March 31 for the retail price of $34.99.

March 22, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Earlier today, LEGO revealed the LEGO Ideas TRON: Legacy (21314) set and the BrickBros UK have already done a review of set. If you don’t know, the BrickBros UK are the submitters of the original design on LEGO Ideas. The set will be available starting a day early on March 31 with the UK having a special signing event at the Leicester Square LEGO Brand Store on March 29.

Downloading from Devon, England, brothers Drew and Tom are the talented fan designers behind the LEGO® Ideas Tron: Legacy set.

Tom and Drew’s small childhood collection of LEGO bricks inspired them to come up with their own scenarios and builds. In designing their LEGO Ideas project, “We went through several models before settling on a design we both liked. We wanted to get the scale of the Light Cycle to minifigure right, and the overall colour scheme had to reflect the Tron feel.”

LEGO Ideas Moments in Space Winning Model Controversy

March 12, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The LEGO Ideas Moments in Space winner was announced a few weeks ago but when you first look at it, you wouldn’t think there would be some controversy behind it. As you can see above, the winning entry was a coin-operated space shuttle by mjsmiley that you can probably find in front of a supermarket or a convenience store.

This is where the controversy comes in or it may just be a big coincidence and people are looking too much into it. Samuel over on the Brickset Forums had been providing members of the forum with instructions for the 2016 LEGO Brand Manager Retail Conference build which is also a coin-operated shuttle, shown below. As you can see, they do have some similarities and the creator has stated that they’ve never seen the Retail Conference build before.

I decided to take a little time after the announcement to see what people were saying about it. I honestly don’t know if the build was intentionally ripped it off or not but I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt however, others are still skeptical on the forums and on social media. I think it’s a cute little build that I’m looking forward to getting as a gift-with-purchase sometime next year. Plus I doubt that LEGO themselves didn’t forget about a set they’ve released for the retail side of the company. For now, I think it’s a legit entry to the contest with some creative differences in a similar building style.
