just2good Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 Oh my, I was NOT expecting this one! Check out the blog post. Quote
xboxtravis7992 Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) Well that was unexpected, but cool! I like the look of the building. I thought Johnny 5 was too similar to Wall-E to pass. While I thought the Star Wars ones were cool, I doubted they would pass to. But the fishing stuff looks fun! Edited October 6, 2016 by xboxtravis7992 Quote
ritzcrackerman Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 Wow! This will go great with my dock... Quote
Blondie-Wan Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 I was just coming here to post this myself. Like you, just2good, I was not expecting this to be the chosen project; I thought the Gingerbread House, Fossil Museum, and Johnny Five were all likelier. But there's no disputing the merits of this highly deserving project, and I think it will make a beautiful set. Quote
Doge Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 Gz to the builder, pretty amazing that it will come already in Fall 2017! Quote

Will propably pick this up, especially if the final model is actually sand green. Quote
makoy Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 I do hope those tiles will come in sand green. I was not expecting it but among the selection, I like it the most. Quote
LegoFjotten Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 Wow, I was really surprised (in a good way!) by this being chosen as the next Ideas set! I will definitely pick this one up. Quote
AFOLguy1970 Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 It is nice to see Ideas finally embracing the concept of a larger set. As for sand green, it probably will stay that color. Changing that would be too far a deviation from the original project and probably would not be received well by those who supported it. My guess is that it will appear very close to the creator's design. There are a lot of nice details on this one to explore. Quote
Wesley D Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) Wow! I didn't expect this. The first time I saw it, I was sold! I'll better start saving even more money for buying Lego next year! EDIT: I really hope The Lego Group adds a lot of seagulls! Edited October 6, 2016 by Wesley D Quote
anothergol Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 So much for those who pretended that 2000+ large MOCs had no chance on Lego Ideas. Quote

I am also really surprised this set made it, I was expecting no one to pass this review.. If you have a look at the updates at the set you will see that they chanced the owl with 3 seagulls! I expect that this set will come with a lot of animals, like fish, crabs, starfish, maybe a lobster and of course a flock of seagulls anything else do not make sense in a set like this! Looking forward to see the finished set Quote
Kodan Black Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 Really glad this was picked, love it. My favorite of the ones they reviewed. Curious to see the final model and price. Quote
Criosphynx Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 wow, this is great! I was hoping for that large Jurassic Park building as well though! Quote
KristofBD Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 Woow nice to see Lego Ideas is embarking on larger projects. Love this one, will probably be the first ideas set that I buy. Quote
Borex Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 Ow wow unexpected! But cool! I really like it. Good job! Quote
shaggysanchez Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 My only question though is will the final set be similar to what the model currently is or will it end up being just the facade similar to a city set and not be a full enclosed building. Quote
biglesdug Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 Really like this set. Hopefully it won't be to expensive. Quote
jaesroe Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) Another great news. Along with the 2017 modular rumor news, it will be another exciting and worth to wait set as a modular theme fan! Please do not deviate too much from this original design! Edited October 6, 2016 by jaesroe Quote
temes Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 Positively surprised about this. I like the theme and the building itself, it's something new and fresh for Lego. I might get it Quote
Robert8 Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) What the heck? I didn't see this coming! I bet they will include a fisherman minifigure Can't wait to see the final! Edited October 7, 2016 by Robert8 Quote
J_C Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) I can't see any playability at all. Maybe if they redesign it. Add 2-3 minifigs, boat, holder for net drying, fish selling window on the other side, some action, some life. As it is, it is totally static. On the other hand, it is very very beautiful. I truly like it, the way it looks. Its solitary, lonely, sad, forgotten, abandoned atmosphere. I like it. But I thought it would work against it in evaluation. I was wrong. Maybe LEGO thinks there is enough potential to be a set even as shelf queen only. Edited October 6, 2016 by J_C Quote
