If LEGO rejected these just because kids can’t play, or build it, then why did you make ideas in the first place? This is meant for adults LEGO not kids
The ideas that get 10k I wish would still get instructions made. Even if you then had to spend 100 points to download the instructions. So many great sets that I could just bricklink buy if I knew how to build them. I think many of these they just didnt get made is due to piece count. Would someone spend 250$ for a 3000 piece build of the serpent in water build? Nice set, but there were a lot of little pieces to drive the price up.
2:22 2000 leagues under the sea is part of the public domain. There is no copyright, no licensing or anything like of the sort required as long as it is based on the book not the movie. Its free for anyone to use
I really like the owl house that you scrolled through at the beginning. It seems like a cool wizard/witch house for medieval themes. I'm tempted to try and replicate it from the photos, but I already have so many projects on my plate. I'm also bummed about that steampunk building. It was such a nice design.
That is true. Indeed, i wish they would just make it an actual Set, considering how much Disney and Lego collaborated as of late. The Owl House has been such a fantastical journey through and through, and i would spend every sum of money on an actual Set.
Hey man, thank you for featuring two of my 10k submissions which unfortunately did not get approved. I really appreciate the kind words! But hey, I did get super lucky with my Viking Village so I am still super happy and grateful! ... and who knows maybe I will get lucky again with one of my projects that are currently in the voting stage: you should definitely check them out if you like my style ;)
The fact that Lego seems to categorically ignore all Steampunk ideas is one of the main reasons why i also buy sets from others. As a huge steampunk fan it is sad that Lego seems to have the opinion that steampunk is not lucrative enough for them to invest in
Lego doesn’t have a major flaw. They design a product to meet certain specifications, marketability, cost to produce, playability, transport etc. These are great models but they won’t bring Lego a profit which is what it needs to continue to exist.
Not forgetting the A-Team and Knight Rider opportunity they had the dimensions license for already - would've been ideal in the 8 stud width both got 10k votes and rejected
For me my most wanted rejects sets are the ones based on Ghibli movies and other anime like the Naruto set. They're always so well done but Lego keeps rejecting them.
For the Sherlock Holmes set there is a fake set that was released. Got it as a present from a relative that thought it was Lego. It honestly wasn’t that bad but didn’t know it was stolen till now.
But I think this one is not strong enough, when ot comes to technic lego parts doesn't work as we think it should, due to clearances, bending vs.. Looks great though.
Let's face it: Lego would've ruined those sets anyway, like they did most of the ideas sets in the recent past. Pantasy has a nice Sherlock Holmes Baker Street set btw.
I think I heard somewhere that you surrender any/all rights just submitting a build to Ideas. If that is the case, and they reject an idea, I feel like the creators should be able to still sell or release the instructions
I'd like to own all of these. Why can't Lego offer the possibility to create personalized sets for those who are willing to pay for them? Would there still be licensing issues if a set isn't available in stores, but only to serious collectors?
Honestly, i can give reasons why most of those would not be approved. airship: Probably the balloon part is too fragile, while they also wont approve anything without an interior. Skyship: same latter reason probably. Nautilus: actually i love the story, but that there is a boring design. Dracula castle: Intreresting front design, but not enough interior and just a really sad back end and interior. Sea serpent: Again, not saying it is a bad design per se, since i wished i could come up with something like that, but no interiors and kinda boring looking. Steampunk explorers: actually, the only thing i can thing about is to much variation in pieces, but they should really consider that one. Log flume: does it actually work without damaging builds and such ? Loop coaster: Sorry to say, but even those loop coasters they did bring out don't actually sell well at all. Gremlins: Actually, sounds like a great idea. Wallace: actually not bad. Also i actually think they would work in minifigure form if the faces are 3D like The Simpsons minifigures. Pratchett: sorry, too niece indeed. The Hobbit: Actually, considering what lego is doing now, i think it is only a matter of a few years before something like that is made. Jumanji: Even though i don't see any great design there, i think it would work. A Brick build Genie....well, we have a mlinifigure, be happy if we ever get a brickhead too.
Genuine question: What's to stop me from asking the creators of these sets for the LEGO Digital Designer files (or whichever program they used) and buying all the pieces from a secondhand seller? I have experience with Digital Designer, so if I had the file and all the parts, I'm pretty sure I could build these sets without an instruction book.
They're not allowed under Lego's t&cs. but I think Lego should let them sell them directly via Ideas if it gets rejected. Lego could still get a cut, the designers get some and recognition, and consumers get some extra cool builds
@@Stud-Lord Thanks for explaining! Now that I think about it, it does make sense. Since these creators are signing over their designs to be LEGO's intellectual property, it makes sense that LEGO wouldn't want people using secondhand sellers in order to build the designs. But you're right, there should definitely be a legal way for people to sell their rejected Ideas. EDIT: Oh yeah, and another problem is that some Ideas sets use original pieces, or pieces with original prints. If LEGO doesn't approve the sets, then who's going to manufacture those parts? You'd have to find a way to recreate them yourself, or find something that looks close enough.
I know why none of these got built, and it only takes understanding what LEGO is about. Too many of these feel like advanced MOC builds, and just have too many details and unnecessary part usage. A LEGO version of these, like the Dracula house wouldn't have a back, the Serpent scene wouldn't have an ocean/base like that. The Sherlock house wouldn't have been an enclosed building, and instead better suited as a room diorama scene. LEGO Creator uses are just voting for things based on their niche interests or wishes for the City builds, but the average consumer will never want that, and that's what LEGO is prioritising. LEGO won't make a steampunk airship because who will buy it? You would, but like really, it's not a popular idea. I mean, a turtle with an earth on its back? Are these LEGO creator voters even trying? Who wants that? I know I don't, and you do - but when I say "who wants that", think of, the mass general buyer, who of those actually wants that? The Hobbit hole is another classic MOC victim where there's just too much pointless part usage for a consumer. A product like that with all the random grass elements would just double the price when it doesn't need to. Look at the Rivendell set as an example - it's going to be expensive, but the Ring scene that can be extracted would make a perfect affordable product diorama option.
Great Segment, loved most of the ideas especially the "Steampunk Ones", & Sherlock set, damn! That's good! As for the best, for me anyway, some have been missed, and some have yet to be made? For me anyway, was the 2002 technic time machine was it, followed by Lost in Space, (you talk about a missed opportunity?) Then there is "Thunderbirds", okay so I'm an older than I'd like to admit? But sets based on this series would have had everything, Lego would have wanted. Moving on, "Red Dwarf", "What we do in the Shadows", and anything that put "Young Frankenstein" into a set, and the Addams family. Sometimes I really have to wonder if Lego has the right creative mind to handle the ideas? Doctor Who for example, (1 lousy set!), when we got Lego space coming out of everywhere? I know, there are plenty of great ideas out there and it must be very disheartening when Lego only picks one, but people do pay attention. As for what I'm waiting on, is a HG Wells time travel set, done right, with various time periods, and with Morlocks at the end.
All good picks. I had to be selective or else the video would have been way too long. But yeah Addams family is a must for me now they’ve done/doing Wednesday. Red Dwarves was hilarious but anyone younger won’t know it. And Doctor Who would be fun although the bricks might all get exterminated. Time Machine and morlocks would be be great fun
Lego Ideas is flawed. To get peoples interest you have to build big or use licensed builds. To get approved the build has to be small enough to meet the production cost. It can’t be both. That is why large sets don’t get made and small sets don’t get enough support for a chance. The non licensed sets that have been made do not sell well.
If LEGO rejected these just because kids can’t play, or build it, then why did you make ideas in the first place? This is meant for adults LEGO not kids
Lego doesn’t like to use logic, you know that
@@StrykeSZN which it’s just disappointing at this point
Its just there are way more kids than adults that are interested in lego.
@@micobama2973I am not sure this is true and adults into the hobby are far more capable of spending money
@@Marcus-ju1ir You’re not wrong, thats another reason
What kills me is the sets get the votes but they still say no.
True. If the fans want a set to be made into a real set, LEGO should make it a real set.
Sounds remarkably similar to the government
What's even worse is that as a designer, you hand over all your rights to Lego and don't even get a share of the profits.
That Steampunk Explorers build looks amazing. That as is would have been one of the better sets out there.
That Nautilus is so simple yet so cool
I know I’m seriously disappointed it’s not an official set
The ideas that get 10k I wish would still get instructions made. Even if you then had to spend 100 points to download the instructions. So many great sets that I could just bricklink buy if I knew how to build them. I think many of these they just didnt get made is due to piece count. Would someone spend 250$ for a 3000 piece build of the serpent in water build? Nice set, but there were a lot of little pieces to drive the price up.
Yeah good shout with the instructions that would make great sense and that way Lego could give the creators something
The Aladdin one probably didn't get made because Robin Williams really didn't want Disney to make Genie merch

It's from a cartoon made by Disney, a very nice show I must say
Which cartoon?
Yeah there were a lot of good options. A moc would be cool. But yeah that ship…
@@Stud-Lord The Owl House
That is true.
Indeed, i wish they would just make it an actual Set, considering how much Disney and Lego collaborated as of late.
The Owl House has been such a fantastical journey through and through, and i would spend every sum of money on an actual Set.
The Steampunk Airship is pretty awesome!! 😊
Not the two airships that got rejected :[ - loved both a lot & I've always wanted a lego steampunk airship set, totally would've saved up for both.
Ninja go had airships with blimps and with some slight modifications I was able to turn them into steampunk airships
As a Final Fantasy fan, those airships would be so cool!
The Prima Vista is the first thing that came to my mind.
Great A'Tuin was awesome, Hope that someone will make one of those some day
Maybe if the DND pairing sells well we can get some cool airships and other forgotten realms stuff

Pleasure. Thank you for the designs and the Viking village is awesome - just featured it on my latest deals of the week video as it’s great

It's got an unfortunate name but fun whole makes pretty decent steampunk sets!
@@maxs-lz4pn i have all of them ^^
Amazing sets, just truly remarkable
Moral Of The Video: No matter how beloved or popular a brand or company is, they always have a major flaw...
Lego doesn’t have a major flaw. They design a product to meet certain specifications, marketability, cost to produce, playability, transport etc. These are great models but they won’t bring Lego a profit which is what it needs to continue to exist.
Not forgetting the A-Team and Knight Rider opportunity they had the dimensions license for already - would've been ideal in the 8 stud width both got 10k votes and rejected
No one talking about how the steampunk ship is a bigger more detailed Misfortune’s Keep from Ninjago Skybound
For me my most wanted rejects sets are the ones based on Ghibli movies and other anime like the Naruto set. They're always so well done but Lego keeps rejecting them.
For the Sherlock Holmes set there is a fake set that was released. Got it as a present from a relative that thought it was Lego. It honestly wasn’t that bad but didn’t know it was stolen till now.
8:24 the double helix coaster is from American LEGO masters, i think.
8:44 In the latest Usa Lego Masters the winner Duck bricks used this principle for their coaster, and made it work fortunately for them.
But I think this one is not strong enough, when ot comes to technic lego parts doesn't work as we think it should, due to clearances, bending vs.. Looks great though.
Let's face it: Lego would've ruined those sets anyway, like they did most of the ideas sets in the recent past.
Pantasy has a nice Sherlock Holmes Baker Street set btw.
Spread the word, so Lego starts accepting more sets the way they are
I think I heard somewhere that you surrender any/all rights just submitting a build to Ideas. If that is the case, and they reject an idea, I feel like the creators should be able to still sell or release the instructions
Is it just me or does the Steampunk explorers building look similar in style to the boutique hotel?!?
I'd like to own all of these. Why can't Lego offer the possibility to create personalized sets for those who are willing to pay for them?
Would there still be licensing issues if a set isn't available in stores, but only to serious collectors?
And yet they accepted the typewriter.
You sound like Laszlo Cravensworth from What we do in the Shadows.
i would have loved to have seen a set referencing disc world, that would have looked cool.
Totally 👍
Well, there is a Sherlock Holmes set from Pantasy that is even better than the submitted design and Funwhole has some cool SteamPunk sets.
Honestly, i can give reasons why most of those would not be approved.
airship: Probably the balloon part is too fragile, while they also wont approve anything without an interior.

Jumanji: Even though i don't see any great design there, i think it would work.
A Brick build Genie....well, we have a mlinifigure, be happy if we ever get a brickhead too.

Looks like my Stargate didn't make your list. Muchos very sad...
Great choices - I agree with ... some ... of them :)
70603 is a lego flying pirate ship
Did you see the Ray Harryhausen Mysterious Island film?
The armada port was also a mistake
Loved the episode! FYI though Pantasy has the rights to Sherlock Holmes
Does it? That’s interesting. I like their kung fu panda set
