​You never know what they make of of this idea. Maybe we get a giant $400 labyrinth set.

​It'll be awesome if they make one that I can run within and only cost me $400.

 

I love this labyrinth set since it was created by the author at his site but I have to agree that it does look like limited as of investment potential. Unless LEGO puts some minifigs in as they did for their board games or includes some unique parts.

Here are the results for the 3rd 2014 review:

I was hoping the labyrinth design would see the green-light just for being one of the more original submissions on Ideas back when it was CUUSOO among the flooded sea of licensed properties. Although not a super heavy fan of the actual game at this age, I did support it and would play around with the design. Moving along, the Star Citizen spaceship is nice and if it weren't for the recent future additions to LEGO's repertoire with Doctor Who and Portal I would have said it has no chance before. Sorry to say but the next review selection will yield nothing as they all look to be projects ready for rejection either from being too large, specific, or oddball.

I just wish LEGO would give some of the larger sets a chance.  Enough of these $50 sets.  How about a kick butt $400 set?

Sure, it's not 22k parts like the idea set, but it's as close as you're going to get.

​I'm with your sentiment on this idea.  I would love the huge $400 epic ideas set.  The Dutchman would've been a great choice IMO.

What frustrates me about these ideas sets, are that people vote on sets that are just wayyy too impractical for Lego to make.  Another modular? Immediate rejection.  Huge 10,000+ monstrosity? Immediate rejection.  Odd licensed themes already in use/would cost too much to get? Most likely rejection.

I think on the next review, we might actually get a better set.  The Douglas plane, the titanic, I see with possible potential.  But it would have to do the set justice.  I'm talking around a $200 set.  I don't know, I think I'm just being jaded with the way Lego chooses the submissions.  Plus it's just not fun to wade through 95%+ of submissions that IMO are just junk or 100 different rehashes of the same stuff that's already on there.

I don't see any investment potential here, but it will be an unusually set. I think it will be a great set, but probably not better than any of the other submissions. I was hoping for the LOTR's set.

Here's a vid on how to make the piano if anyone is interested seeing it got denied.

 

I don't even really care if a submission is a great investment or not, I want a great set, and this maze thing is not it.  Amazing creation, I couldn't do it, but what are you supposed to do with it?  You can't admire it.  You supposed to play with the little ball?  While I knew it wouldn't be passed the Minas Tirith desperately needed to get made.  It's a main setting of the LotR franchise and Lego didn't make it, really disappointing.  It's like having Indiana Jones franchise and not making the Holy Grail scene, oh wait. 

 

That result makes me a bit of a sad panda.

I've no real interest in the maze, but as a youngster i did love Screwball Scramble, Rock n Roll Maze, etc., so perhaps I'm just jaded.

I too would love to see one of the larger more interesting builds given a go.

It may not be the most interesting build, but I'd like to see a version of the Titanic. That might just be because I'm from Belfast and my Grandad worked in the drawing office at Harland and Wolff (though a good few years after the Titanic itself).

 

No Ghosbusters firehouse? Too many pieces?

The deathstar is MASSIVE.

Someone pls.  I'm confused.

changed their mind

Spoiler alert: no ideas chosen.  And for those of you who were sure RI would get a sister project, Science Adventures was rejected.

I blame Wall-E...

atleast they give a reason instead of being like.....derp no.  I get it.  Not sure why the GB HQ got denied and then accepted, same with helicarrier, but yeah lol.

I was thinking of the same thing. lol

They are probably regretting making rush decisions being too $$ greedy of getting 2 IDEAS sets out at one peirod and now trying to be careful. lol

I'm still scratching my head why Science Adventures didn't get approved. I guess it must be the "challenge the production capacity" excuse since RI was clearly successful & there isn't a license...

Translation - We want to milk the current sets for another two years

I am sure that somewhere on the chalkboard @ 2:15 - there must be some secret message.

I think it has to do with they being unable to even produce their regular sets with their current capacity problems. And since IDEAS requires relatively quick concept-to-production cycle a new set could be considered as a pain in the behind.

Im surprised the medieval market didnt make it through............... Hopefully its one they plan on releasing soon.

And once you find it, they'll come for you.

What I got from this video was the lack of 21108 Ecto-1 shown with the other available sets
