LEGO Ideas: For 10.000, you have nothing!

The advantage (or not) with the late LEGO Cuusoo, now LEGO Ideas, is that as soon as a project reaches 10.000 supporters, you don't hear about it for many long months, while the excitement subsides. Like that, when the review phase finally ends, the pill of rejection based on more or less valid arguments goes much better.

And this is undoubtedly what is likely (unfortunately) to happen to the two long-term projects which have just reached the fateful threshold of 10.000 supporters and which will therefore fall back into oblivion while waiting for the LEGO team to look into on their fate and decide their future.

On the one hand, the project Assault on Wayne Manor of DarthKy who sells us dreams with a well-supplied modular that will only find its salvation if LEGO decides to celebrate Batman's 75th birthday as it should, and on the other, TheInvisible Hand of LDiEgo, a brilliant project launched in 2011 (I was telling you on the blog in December 2011) which has regularly won over fans of the LEGO Star Wars range in need of new products and new ships.

These two projects will therefore go to the review phase, unless LEGO decides to sacrifice them on the altar of the new rules of the so-called "participatory" platform. I don't give too much of their skin, the first being too opulent to enter the price bracket of the Cuusoo sets marketed so far, the second happily encroaching on the new source of Disney's greenbacks. But you never know, maybe at LEGO someone will dare to take the risk of satisfying 10.000 potential customers who have shown over the months (and years) their support for pretty, creative and ambitious initiatives.

As I often say to be sure I'm not too mistaken, wait and see ...

PS: I know, I fished, I went for a walk on LEGO Ideas, but it was just to find something to publish this little bit disillusioned post, so I forgive myself.
