Oh yeah... the "Bellend of Billund" ;-)

Funny enough we have a Danish player called Andreas Bjelland pronnounced bellend. Now I know what he does in his spare time

Women of Nasa has a 1st December release date.

With 3 new sets this year, I think we can expect the Caterham to retire and maybe more.

Adventure time will definently go. Would be good if yellow submarine does the same and we can then load up on autumn sales like last year with Wall-e.

I expect both Yellow Submarine and Caterham Seven to retire by end of the year.

Whether Adventure Time is also retiring this year already depends on the sales numbers. Considering that in my opinion the Ideas sets are mostly bought by AFOLs who are more interested in the display value than the play value of a set, I doubt Adventure Time is a big seller. And as such it wouldn't be unlikely to get retired as well by end of this year.

Licensed sets usually last at least a year. With YSB it could go either way but AT is likely safe till 2018.

I saw a site list the Women of NASA set as 21312

Any new news on Voltron?   I so hope this set gets approved/licensed..

Not yet.

They pushed it to the next reveal. I thought I heard we'd be getting results soon?

I think (hope) Voltron will happen. I think the delay is just related to the number of lawyers working on the licensing agreement.

On a basic Ideas set, you'd have LEGO and the creator to deal with. On every other licensed Ideas set, you'd have the licensee (e.g. BBC Worldwide for Doctor Who), the creator and LEGO.

With Voltron you're going to have two licensees. You'd have the US rights holder (because it's Voltron, not Golion), and then you have the Golion Japanese rights holder.

I don't know that for sure and you would think that the US holder has carte blanc to license as they see fit, but I'm guessing that building block toys isn't covered by that license.

If you take a certain Eurobricks member's profile picture as a hint, the next Ideas set is...

I like that set, and would probably pick that up as it's a ship (in a bottle!) and it's pretty cool.

But I better get Voltron.  Just sayin'

Well, I hope it is.  Very creative set.

How long does it take LEGO to approve/release a new Ideas submission that has just been uploaded? I couldn't find any info on that, so does anyone around here know?

Ship In A Bottle is very creative. I hope Lego turns it into an Ideas set as well.

from local LUG. i think its a slam dunk ti be approved. looks great, pulls in different groups too including AFOL

First of all - I am banning people from posting in this thread (not really) because every time I see it's a new post I think it's an announcement and I'm dying to hear about Voltron.

I really like it. I think it had a good shot and would really like to buy it.

I'm not basing this on anything, but...

We're still waiting to hear results.  And we're still waiting to hear on Voltron.  And San Diego Comic Con is this weekend.

Maybe we hear something in the next few days?  It would certainly be a good time to do it.

I hope its Voltron....

 

Posted by LEGO Ideas on their Twitter in reply to a question about the next results update:

Maybe by end of July then? Le sigh...

bump @Alpinemaps. Yes I know it's kind of cruel, but he does get to go to SDCC this weekend.

I'd prefer Voltron, bc I loved it as a kid, but the ship in a bottle is also an excellent design.

lol.

Well, Ship in a Bottle isn't part of these review results.  I'm going to stand by that they must just be days away from the ink drying on the Voltron contracts, and that's what's holding it up.  I'd think that if Voltron was cancelled, they would have released the results already.

Still hopeful that maybe there will be an announcement at Comic Con.

That sure looks like it at the 6:05 mark for the Summer 2017 results at the top of the page.

My bad, you're right.  For some reason I had it in my head that it didn't make it in for that deadline, but would be in the next batch.

On a different, Voltron, note...I can't believe it was submitted back on Apr 11, 2016.  It's been over a year!  I was pushing hard for it to make it to the review period that ended on April 30, 2016 (and it missed it by only a few hundred votes).  So it's been a long time coming.  Fingers and toes are crossed!

According to BrickSet we may get the results today: https://brickset.com/article/29685/lego-ideas-results-expected-later-today

Please let it be Red Dwarf, i need that set.
