New on the LEGO IDEAS platform: a "parking lot" to store ideas awaiting evaluation

It is today's initiative on the LEGO IDEAS platform with the creation of what the manufacturer will now call the "Parking Lot" or more simply the parking lot. The idea is to store ideas that deserve to be studied but which for one reason or another cannot be studied within the usual time frame.

This solution will allow in particular to keep ideas that are a priori interesting up your sleeve by putting them on hold so that they do not collide with others during a given review phase. We can also imagine that the initiative will allow, for example, to initiate discussions with the rights holders of a specific license before definitively validating an idea that seems promising on paper.

LEGO confirms that in the past, some ideas have been rejected outright during the relevant review phase due to timing issues and that the idea holders then had to resubmit them and reach the required 10.000 backers threshold a second time in order to be able to go back into the evaluation phase.

The "parking lot" designed by the manufacturer will make it possible to avoid this step and to put the ideas concerned on hold. LEGO also promises that this parking lot will never be overbooked and that the ideas stored there will be subject to a final decision over a maximum period of three successive review phases.

For the rest, nothing changes, the process of evaluating ideas that have reached 10.000 supporters remains the same.
