I got ya covered! Nice one! Crustybeaver, that is almost front page worthy!

The funny thing is MD is a big state yet myself emazers and Holleman all live within 5 miles of each other. Exciter comes through and told me a deal at Kmart that was on the other side of MD. Not worth drive. Besides all three of us have for the most part of never were clearence hunters.

It seems a shame that the exo-suit designer only had the privilege of seeing his set in the store for one day before the shelves were cleared. If it was me I probably visit every Lego store in the country just to see my creation in another setting. I'd be a bit put out if I designed a set, went through all the stages only to see the set not reach it's full potential. Does the designer still get 1%? Not sure what this does for the image of the whole "ideas" thing. Design a st so good it sells out first day, on the other hand, if Lego don't put it out longer it doesn't show much commitment from them.

I guess they are acutely between a rock and a hard place on this one, what if they do another production run and investors return their sets? Can't be that many people who would return to make this anything to worry about, is there?

Wow

According to the terms in the Lego Ideas page:

 

• 1% of the total net sales of the product (this includes projects featuring original models based on third-party intellectual property such as a game, TV show, or movie).

I would guess that the designer would get the 1%, but it doesn't seem like a lot to begin with.

Net. Sales probably not. If they make 10,000 at $35 msrp you are talking $350,000 gross which you would take generously 30% for costs to build, design, manufacture, marketing, labor, materials and you're left with $245,000. 1% would net the designer $2450. Yippe!

Edited thanks to martinp for correcting my 3rd grade math error. Haha just finished working out and I'm fried, hence the error!

I love bpers, quick to help the slow people out [emoji3]

I think you did your math incorrectly. If Lego makes 10,000 units at $35 msrp, you would get $350,000, not $35,000. That would mean that the designer would get $2,450 which is decent.

Nice equations....

You can see why the delorian fella let his share go to charity... I think it's more about prestige than money in any case... But money's good too.

And he's a banker by trade....

That guy is probably in for hundreds of thousands by now. He might be biting his elbows if he directed entire amount to charity...

Exactly. Prestige and the experience of a lifetime. Sort of a dream come true.

If I still had the 100's of kilo of loose Lego I had, I could into this design thing.

I think the charity gesture but might have helped his project get selected.

The only idea I've had is to build the police van chased by the lorry load of joker goons in TDK (or whatever the scene is with the the tumbler) Similar to your standard vehicles I guess, so not too original and maybe not to everyone's taste as it would be dark with fiendish goons with heavy artillery...

Sliding doors to reveal the catlin...

That was fantastic!

 

Just needs hotcakes vendor to the side or maybe change the pizza hut logo to "hotcakes"

Why do you have to give me up like that

Oh haven't we all done something like that... except:

ya'll need to start handling your business like a boss

That's a lot of Chinese fakes!

That's a lot of Chinese fakes!

 

ain't no chinese fakes there at all

So we are pretty sure more Exo sets are coming at $35. Just don't know for how long and where.

If target.com should restock today at $40 each, anyone biting even with the 5% ($2) RedCard discount?

ya'll need to start handling your business like a boss

 

 

That's 25 Exo sets... That's 25x$35 = $875... Why would you do that? WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!
