Also wondering about Apollo 11.   Wouldn't structural integrity be addressed before the decision is made to approve something?  Then again, Wall-E and Exosuit come to mind as possible counterexamples.  It seems like you would want to have an actual model of the subject at the review process to be sure it can be produced without any major design flaws.  Not that I am saying there is one in the winning design for the Saturn V, but leaks coming out for the Fishing Store and absolute silence on the rocket, it does appear that something has stalled.  

The weird thing is that the Fishing store is scheduled for a fall release, but if we're already getting pictures of it (regardless of if they're leaked or not), I don't see how they could wait that long.  Maybe they'll switch the releases?

Its possible that they were able to turn the Fishing Store into a releasable set faster than originally thought and have decided to release it earlier.

maybe they are waiting for the Saturn V for this:

Does that Idea project fit any of the above?

Cough cough. Well this is a beautiful set. Sand green and reddish-brown heaven.  Looks almost identical to the original submission, just scaled down ever so slightly. 

That looks great.  I'm definitely interested in seeing more.

Are you saying RuPaul is political, or in some way representative of a movement?  I don't think he is inherently so, nor do I think that Ideas project is.

for some people, people who dress in drag are bad (i have nothing against people who do that).  i'll talk more later.

anyway to some people, people who dress in drag are not good people.  we should not talk anymore about the RuPaul (might become a flame war).

The Ideas activity feed does not seem to be working! Hmmm...

Well that's just ridiculous.

Are you on mobile or PC? It's working fine for me on PC, except I can't seem to click on any of the projects on the home page.

On PC, all I'm getting is that someone supported Red Arrow Hawk about 24 hours ago.  It won't show current stats, even though people are supporting (support counts are going up).

Yeah, sometimes that happens with the home screen.  I just always use my touchscreen.  Maybe right click and get the link?

Sega Classic Arcade Machines by SpacySmokeOn achieved the 10000 supporters

[Artanis I]

Would be a pretty useful set for many. But, so many prints/stickers...

i dont think it will pass, but will end up in lego dimensions.

[JGuy]

So is it still just me having the activity feed problem??

[JGuy]

Hey, I liked the Sega Machines!  They were pretty awesome looking!

[Murdoch17]

Dungeon Master made it to 10,000. Considering it was uploaded on Jan 23rd, that was a pretty fast race to the finish!

Dungeon Master really has some potential.  Yes, it has a large piece count, but the playability and the way that the chambers are interchangeable could be enough to tip it in favor of being approved.  The name might have to be changed to avoid having this be a licensed set as I think it is a trademark term in D&D.  If it is seen as a generic building role-playing fantasy game, then that would probably improve its chances.  

[JGuy]

Wow that was a fast 10,000... But seriously, is it only me who can't see the activity feed or the recent comments on projects still?

[Robert8]

Wow. That was way too fast. I actually never saw it until now

That would be fantastic. So many possibilities for new fantasy figures.

Anyone notice a recent trend of Medieval/Fantasy sets getting tons of love? Dungeon Master and Merchant's House are both currently in review, Medieval Water Mill has almost 7,000 supporters and Wizard Tower has received almost 1,500 supporters in its first week. Hopefully this means that one of them ends up being approved or that Lego will make a quality Castle theme after Nexo Knights.

Social media support from Star Trek's Wesley Crusher may have helped.

Is that now the fastest to 10,000?  Voltron was the previous record holder, I believe.  It was something like 20 days?

I didn't even think about Minecraft.  Well, definitely a good showing for all three.

If I recall Dr. Who was the fastest at roughly 2 1/2 days, wasn't it?
