More LEGO Ideas Research Institute (21110) Sets in the Works

November 3, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

It looks like LEGO is working on a plan to make more of the wildly popular LEGO Ideas Research Institute (21110) set. Over on Shop@Home, they have updated the status to say:

LEGO® Ideas sets are fan created and limited production. We’re sorry it’s not available – it’s proven to be an overwhelmingly popular set. We’re looking into if we can make more. Check back soon!

From the looks of it, LEGO is trying to get more of the sets produced as the demand was definitely there and it was underestimated on how popular it actually was. Currently, the Research Institute is only available at various LEGO Stores with very limited quantities coming in from time to time. It is also on the secondary market but the price is at least three times the markup so I would suggest holding off purchasing it as there may be more coming out in the future.

Thanks to Dennis for the heads up.

Jurassic Park/Jurassic World Projects Now Allowed on LEGO Ideas

October 24, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Earlier this month, Universal announced that The LEGO Group will be one of the licensing partners for the upcoming Jurassic World movie. As a result, LEGO has resolved their licensing conflicts with Jurassic Park/Jurassic World. Earlier this year, LEGO Ideas did the same with Doctor Who which resulted in an abundance of Doctor Who projects including two that achieved 10,000 supporters.

If you remember from last year, all the Jurassic Park related projects were removed including the one from Senteosan after only 6,495 supporters. This was because Hasbro/Kre-O signed on to produce construction sets for Jurassic World but that contract has since expired and The LEGO Group now owns the rights to produce the sets.

As of a few days ago, people are now allowed again to post Jurassic Park/World projects on LEGO Ideas but whether or not they are able to pass the review stage and become an official set remains to be seen.

LEGO The Goonies 30th Anniversary – The Inferno Achieves 10,000 Supporters

October 7, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

With The Goonies 30th Anniversary coming up in 2015, Lyonblood’s idea of The Inferno has just achieved 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The project is based on One-Eyed Willy’s pirate ship that was inside the cavern.

The project also includes all the Goonies as minifigures with the Inferno. The ship itself has playability features with it such as removing the top deck to reveal some details underneath.

The Inferno now joins the Avengers Helicarrier, the Labrinth Marble Maze, and the F7A Hornet in the third 2014 LEGO Review Stage. Congrats to Lyonblood for the achievement. Now everyone do the Truffle Shuffle!

LEGO F7A Hornet Acheives 10,000 Supporters on LEGO Ideas

September 22, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

With a recent surge of supporters the past few days, the F7A Hornet by Nosmigon is the latest project to get the required 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The build is based on the Anvil Aerospace Hornet from the upcoming game, Star Citizen, which was originally a KickStarter project. The ship in the game is the UEE Navy’s premier fighter craft and is the front-line attack ship for combat missions.

Nosmigon has also provided the LDD file so anyone can build the F7A Hornet in case that it doesn’t get approved as an official set. The project now joins the Avengers Helicarrier and the Labyrinth Marble Maze in the third 2014 LEGO Review Stage. Congratulations to Nosmigon for the achievement!

LEGO Ideas Labyrinth Marble Maze Achieves 10,000 Supporters

September 11, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The Labyrinth Marble Maze by Jason Allemann (JKBrickworks) is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The project is based on the original BRIO Labyrinth game which was released back in 1946. If you’re an old man like me, you’ve probably have played it before.

The project itself is an interchangeable maze system which allows you to customize the maze to your liking. Jason has also designed a number of themed mazes as well so it gives you some variety in gameplay.

The Labyrinth Marble Maze now joins the Avengers Helicarrier in the third review stage of 2014. Congratulations to Jason for this achievement! The next highest supported project on LEGO Ideas is now The Goonies 30th Anniversary – The Inferno.
