Mini golf, Floating island, are I think the best ones. I like just the interior of the doughnut shop. And i like the clock but how would I build it?

Sorry I was talking about the one linked not the one actually present. gently caress that one.

I'd love the Orca, but my prediction for which set gets made is the mini golf course. Which could be pretty cool with a fresh redesign.


If it's the game stop piece of poo poo, I hope they grossly overestimate demand and take a huge loss on it.

Re: BTS. You gotten beaten to the punch by an inferior design, carbs. That's the problem with Ideas, anything with a rabid fanbase only needs a step above a mspaint drawn rectangle submission to carry it over the line.

With 4 stabilizing strings I don’t think it’s as fragile as it looks.

Theoretically IP that's not allowed is supposed to get screened out at the submission stage, but it relies on self-reporting so it's possible that you could One Weird Trick your way through it by simply not checking the box that says it's a Scooby-Doo entry.

EDIT2: And apparently the sailboat GwP will be back for Sep 13-30. I guess they made way too many of those.

From that Ideas lineup the space probes are the only ones in the overlap of things they might make and things I'd buy. I like a few of the others though.

Guessing more people would have got it if the threshold wasn't higher than the cost of a modular.

That looks like a foot switch for the amp itself. For switching channels or activating an amp effect like a trem or vibrato.

e: also a strat? Pfft, should have been a tele :v:

That's a great price but I'm kind of surprised the shape of the pickguard looks so off, Lego usually does a better job on that sort of thing.

xzzy
Mar 5, 2009

At that scale they'd need new molds to accurately create the pick guard. The lower cutaway only has one stud width to work with.

Maybe the 1x1 plate with a tooth on it could work but the curve leading into it would be a no-go.

The guitar is pretty good, but the amp is amazing. Love that it has all the internals: spring reverb, sound hole for the speaker, tubes and capacitors hangin' out, and the full circuit board. Amazing.

I'm guessing the sleigh will be a GWP around black friday. Hopefully, this year isn't a disaster like last year. If you forget, all the new sets sold out immediately and by the holidays nothing was available. So there were the typical holiday GWPs and nothing to buy to qualify for them.

I don't think it was production so much as it was resellers. They seem to have calmed down this summer. But we'll see in the coming months.

The sleigh seems too substantial to be a GWP. Strikes me as a $40 set with the 4 reindeer and all.
