simon_cornelus Posted January 27, 2023 Posted January 27, 2023 Hi everyone, I'd like to present my IDEAS entry Kirby's Adventure: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/45efc935-afff-45d8-a2e3-41752106080c Kirby is an action-platform video game series. Once Brick Kirby is built you can make your own version by building your own copy ability. Quote
dukesofbrickdom Posted January 28, 2023 Posted January 28, 2023 So with there now being two entries of Shrek's Swamp qualifying for the review stage, whats going to happen with it? I prefer Ashnflash's model a ton as I don't see a ton of semblance to the actual Shrek's hut in the other entry. Will LEGO succumb to fan demand for the set and pick one, or do they already have something planned to coincide with the release of Shrek 5? Quote

I doubt they’d have anything planned when Shrek 5 would be years ahead in the future, if it’s even made. Hopefully this show of fan support convinces Lego to approve one of these sets - I wouldn’t even mind if it was downsized to be a >£100 set like the Winnie the Pooh one. Quote
BrickBob Studpants Posted January 28, 2023 Posted January 28, 2023 I do wonder what happens if they approve one of the Shrek models. Would both creators get credit as well as a cut of the profits, or would they simply pick the model they prefer? As far as I’m aware, this hasn’t occurred before. The Office set had at least two different entries, but they only picked the resubmitted version of one of them (which sucks for the other person who didn’t try again). Quote

Well I feel that Ashnflash should get the credit, as the other guys is nowhere near the quality of his. LEGO would completely redesign the other guys because it is not accurate. The other guys project had been there for a while but would never have reached 10K without riding on the momentum that Ashnflash built up. Edited January 28, 2023 by dukesofbrickdom Quote

A_Forest_of_Lego Posted January 28, 2023 Posted January 28, 2023 I love and supported both designs, so I would be happy if Lego chose either one of them. If I had to guess, I would say they would probably go with Ashnflash's because of the brighter colors. We've seen with the tree house and the medieval blacksmith how they changed them to add brighter colors, so obviously that's what they prefer. Quote
Ashnflash Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 Thank you guys for the kind words 🙏 We'll just have to wait and see. What sucks now is the wait... Quote

Pretty sure I happened with Doctor Who, and they just picked one of the submissions and then rejected the other, and made something that wasn't like either of them. On the subject of lego Doctor who. I really hope that RTD2, the 60th hype and the Disney Plus deal can give Doccy Who enough of a lime light for TLG to consider makes Lego Doctor Who again. I know it's probably a pipedream but it would be a dream combination for me. Quote

That would seem rather unfair. If they pick one, then they should try to keep the design close to that one. If they change it completely, then they should just split between the two of them and use the best parts of each submission. 2 hours ago, Ashnflash said: Thank you guys for the kind words 🙏 We'll just have to wait and see.

I feel like if you can't get guess which submission the final product is based on, then they should probably split it between the two creators, to be fair. But maybe when they chose the second design they didn't realize they would change it so much. I'm guessing they just chose the design they wanted to start working from, and then just kept modifying it until in the end you couldn't tell which design they started from. Quote

I almost think it was better to reject that one than to accept it and then have people be disappointed when half of the proceeds from the sale of the set were *not* donated to the AHA. Edit - I actually went to the product page and read it, it's pretty clear the project creators were going to donate half of *their royalties* from the set to the AHA. That would certainly have been well within their power to do, and wouldn't have imposed any constraint on TLG. Edited January 30, 2023 by icm Quote

I am already supporting it on Lego Ideas, it's a beautiful design! Quote
Clone OPatra Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 @ubertoys it is a lovely design, but not Licensed (so doesn't belong in this topic) and having your first post on this site being self-promotion is not what we're all about. Quote
simon_cornelus Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 I did exactly the same, sorry about that, I did not know. It's maybe not be the correct topic but as a newcomer, the forum is a bit of a search. Someone who posts a Lego Idea can otherwise become active on the forum... Quote
