Makes me think that LEGO should consider having a "Modular Buildings - The Apocalypse Series"

I know they won't (too gruesome), but it would be a great way to re-release sets.

 

Does anyone know what exactly happens after an IDEAS submission has been approved to become a retail set? Will the winner fly to Denmark to have a talk with the designers? Who decides if there will be a store launch with the fan designer etc.? I could not find anything about that anywhere else. Thanks!

This is a MOC Highlight for me personally ... my submission to this year's OcTRAINber, organized by BrickModelRailroader.com:

If I didn’t have cats (or a 6 month old puppy) I might want to do this. That’s pretty stinkin cool.

One more build by me. 

A few months ago I stumbled upon some digital renderings made by Reddit user u/brxstr of a Back-to-the-Future DMC DeLorean, which looked fantastic. He/she had (has?) the Stud.io file available on Rebrickable.com, so I downloaded it and planned to build it. In doing my due diligence I found out that the model was originally designed by user Troelskf on Brickshelf, so I want to make sure (s)he gets credit as well. 

I ended up redoing large parts of the design for several reasons:

1. Part availability and cost. Several parts were very expensive (the F40 windscreen for example) so I came up with alternative solutions for those.
2. Stability and Buildability. As the design has never been built IRL, certain parts of the design looked great in Stud.io, but did not work in the brick. For example, the click hinges for the shaping on the back were originally positioned right in between two clicks, which meant there was an ugly gap. The doors were so flimsy in their original design, they would fall apart when touched lightly.
3. Operability. The doors were not opening in the original design, as there was no tolerance for the swing movement (they looked great opened and closed, but would have to be removed and reassembled to change them from opened to closed. The lid for Mr Fusion could not be opened for similar reasons.
4. Improved looks. I completely redesigned the dashboard, adding more and more detailed instrumentation. I changed the gear lever and created a different flux capacitor design. I modified the hose work around the engine, and redesigned the back section to make it look more like the BttF version, including custom license plate.
5. Generating instructions. The original file was a purely digital design, with no consideration for building the set with real bricks. I spent many hours redesigning the build sequence and creating detailed, step by step instructions. They are almost complete (Isn't it wonderful that if you move a part from one step to another in Stud.io, it decides to undo all the call-outs in the instructions which in turn leads to page layouts resetting?). I still have one change to make but then the 300+ page instructions are ready.

Here is the final product. Hope you like it.

More pictures in my Flickr album (https://www.flickr.com/photos/129210197@N05/with/50605610828/). Total cost was ~$200 (US), but I had most of the common parts on hand. Would likely be closer to $300 if all 1600+ parts had to be purchased.

waaay too much sunlight on LEGO for my taste...if it's enough to feed the plants it's too much for LEGO

That said, awesome Mos Eisley side but the clutter of the jabba sets and ships take away from the overall look 

Meanwhile, I’m geeking out over the UCS sized Voltron Green Lion in the background.

Maybe those plants are new Botanicals ideas submission MOCs
