LEGO Ideas Old Fishing Store Achieves 10,000 Supporters

The Old Fishing Store by robenanne is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. This was a very popular project when it first went live in December. I’m not exactly sure where the traffic was coming from but in a little bit over a month, it didn’t take long for the project to get the required number of supporters to get into the First 2016 Review Stage.

As for the project itself, it has the popular modular style that many builders desire and it is not short of design. It consists of 2,160 pieces and has three floors with a removable roof and the back wall able to be opened. The building has a very realistic look with the brown and sand green bricks used. There are also three minifigures included with the proposal.

The Old Fishing Store now joins the Fossil Museum, the Gingerbread House, and the Modular Train Station as the projects that qualify for the First 2016 Review Stage. Keep in mind that all four of these projects so far are non-licensed projects which is what LEGO is trying to push with their Creative Ideas Wanted campaign.

LEGO Ideas Modular Train Station Achieves 10,000 Supporters

The Modular Train Station by Legowolf is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The set is based on 19th century train stations in Europe and has many features including:

  • The platform at the back lets you lay track in the same direction as your street, so that your diorama can fit in a compact space. The platform height is sized for standard Lego trains.
  • There is equal detail on front and back, which is unusual for modular buildings.
  • The roof and upper back wall detach, exposing the vaulted interior for play.
  • The focal point inside is the ornate clock and timetable, which features replaceable letters so that you can set your own destinations.
  • The interior features a ticketing office, ticket vending machine, newspaper box, snack bar, public toilets, and turnstiles leading to the platform.
  • The exterior features statuary, decorative moulding and brickwork, and arched glass windows. There is a bicycle rack for couriers in the front, along with public noticeboards.
  • A snack bar opens onto the interior and the station platform, because captive customers are profitable customers!

The project now joins the Fossil Museum and the Gingerbread House as the ones that qualify for the First 2016 Review Stage which is already shaping up to be a pretty good one so far.

LEGO Ideas Gingerbread House Achieves 10,000 Supporters

The Gingerbread House by Swan Dutchman is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. We’ve already seen LEGO do a Gingerbread House with the holiday exclusive set 40139 but the project proposes one that’s large enough to fit in with the Winter Village theme. The Gingerbread House now joins the Fossil Museum as the two projects so far to qualify for the First 2016 Review Stage.

LEGO Ideas Fossil Museum Achieves 10,000 Supporters

LEGO news comes in waves and in this latest one, the Fossil Museum by whatpumpkin is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. This is also the first project to qualify for the First 2016 Review Stage.

The project is pretty much what it says, it’s a little museum scene showing off some skeletons of various dinosaurs including Stegosaurus, Pteranodon, Apatosaurus, Deinonychus, and Spinosaurus. Museums with dinosaur attractions are very popular and this project looks to be a very fun and education set if it becomes an official one.

LEGO Ideas National Park Service Centennial Vignettes Achieves 10,000 Supporters

Earlier today, the National Park Service Centennial Vignettes by LEGORanger16 has also achieved 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The project features small scenes on 10×16 plates which shows various US National Parks like the Everglades in Florida, Katmai in Alaska, and Saguaro in Arizona. This project seems to be a very educational set as it gets kids learning about some of the National Parks here in the US.

The National Park Service Centennial Vignettes is now in the Third 2015 Review Stage and joins other projects including Jurassic Park Explorer, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Nautilus, the Toyota Landcruiser 40 Series, the Beatles Yellow Submarine, the HMS Beagle, Apollo 11 Saturn-V, and the Concorde Display Set as the ones vying to become an official LEGO set.

LEGO Ideas Concorde Display Set Achieves 10,000 Supporters

The Concorde Display Set by ABStract is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The project is based on the famous British/French airliner which was known as one of the fastest jets in aviation history. It was eventually retired in 2003 due to safety and budget issues. The Concorde project itself has many features like a working nose droop mechanism and moveable control surfaces.

The Concorde Display Set barely squeaks in to the Third 2015 Review Stage and it joins the Jurassic Park Explorer, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Nautilus, the Toyota Landcruiser 40 Series, the Beatles Yellow Submarine, the HMS Beagle, and Apollo 11 Saturn-V as the projects that have a chance of becoming an official LEGO set if it passes the Review Stage.
