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.

Ever since I read about how lego screwed over the guy who designed the ghostbuster firehouse i’ve been a bit disgusted by the whole lego ideas thing. Seems like they just steal people’s ideas and once in a while give them recognition.
That’s a misconception. The thing is that this Firehouse was already being designed after Brent Waller’s Ecto-1 was announced. Sergio’s project 10k a few months after that. It’s easy to say that an idea was stolen but we don’t really know what LEGO is already developing behind the scenes.
If you read Sergio’s blog and you see the final product and how it compares with what lego came up with, in my opinion it’s a bit closer than what I would’ve expected lego to come up with. Even if the influence is subliminal, don’t tell me they didn’t look at it for ideas..
I think a lot of IDEA designers are too because Brickiest has an article about how LEGO is begging people for Ideas.
I hadn’t heard about that, isn’t he getting a portion of the Ecto-1 set sales and the firehouse HQ set that washust released sales?
What turned me off was how I had people on my project pages asking me to vote for them so in turn they would vote formy projects.
Nope. Even if they accept your idea and formally make it, all you get is a couple sets. But at least you get credit. The guy whose ideas project was the firehouse got a set but no credit as I understand it.
