      But, they feature things like Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and Indiana Jones, and they tend to get kinda graphic. Amogus doesn’t top any of that.

      @@angusgambrell7757 One of LEGO's core rules is no realistic weapons or machines of war because the original founder of the company didn't want kids to be recreating WW2 or anything like that. With this in mind, Star Wars and Lord of the Rings don't feature realistic weapons and aren't set in the real world. Indiana Jones also is more built around adventure and is set in the past so LEGO can get away with not including realistic weapons. (by realistic I mean modern weapons or machines of war like tanks, AKs, etc.) Killing and gore are core pillars of the Among Us experience, so there wouldn't be any way around it. They probably also figured that the fad would die before they could get the set out.

  • @dfx5886
    @dfx5886 2 ปีที่แล้ว +32

    I feel like the Among Us set was rejected due to how they had no idea if its relevancy would fare during the redesign period. It takes up to a year and a half for approved Ideas sets to come out and if the IP chosen fizzles out in that time (for example, Fall Guys), it likely wouldn't sell how LEGO would want it. Apologies if my wording is off

    It was such an amazing set and it got every single detail from the show with 100% accuracy! And it's been years since we've gotten a Lego SpongeBob set so this could've been used to revitalize the line!

    Maybe the among us one got rejected because the whole ship would have been too big as one whole set. But it would have been cool if rooms of the ship were sold separately or in packs for the small ones and you could mix and placement of the rooms and combine it with rooms from other maps.

  • @AstralDragoon

    My guess as to why Yellow was rejected has to do with legal issues. The original Yellow, as a sculpture, is a copyright of the artist, the same man proposing that it be made a reproducible set. I suspect LEGO would owe him royalties on every set sold, and that they didn't want to be in the position of an individual potentially leveraging his copyright if, for whatever reason, he ended up dissatisfied with the arrangement.

    11: Among Us - Lego officially doesn't want to license violent videogames thus they probably never even contacted the creators of Among Us.
    10: Futurama - The cartoon portrays large amounts of alcohol and tobacco consumption.
    6: Little Yellow - that can't be the reason, the ship in the bottle set also has just a bunch of pieces dropped in as "water". I think its just that the head doesn't resemble a human head enough.
    5: Surf and Rescue - I bet it was just the theme. Lego didn't consider the cancer message at all, just that they have already a line of beach sets and they probably had already other guard tower sets in mind.
    4: Fall Guys - my theory: Damage. Legos are durable but maybe lego was concerned that the set would encourage kids to throw and drop the figures more that they could handle.
    1: Anatomini - It's funny, but jeeeeesus, I would wake up screaming seeing it at night. I bet there are kids out there this thing gave nightmares to

    I thought about the idea of an Among Us set. And the plan I had was that there could be all 4 maps with 3 of the original skins each (there are 12 original skins). I was also thinking about hats and fabric costumes so you could customise crewmates. I was gonna do a vent system too, but it might be difficult for anything that isn’t the Skeld or that ice planet. The Airship could be vertical, opening up and having the moving platforms moveable. Still stuck on how to make MiraHQ unique, though. Maybe I could make a vent system for that too, but it’s not connected enough like the Skeld or the ice planet.

    Nice video like always man. Im just really suprised the fact you didnt mention the Legend of Bionicle set.
    It was extremely popular and there was a whole scandal in the Lego community about it!
    For people who don't know, the set was supposed to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Bionicle, the theme that basically kept Lego from , well DYING. It was during the 2000 LEGO faced with serious issues.
    Unfortunately, the older LEGO community made a fuss about it and started an long drama because
    "If i dont like this Lego theme, nobody should! " which is just so stupid.

      As a fan of Bionicle myself, I have heard about this before, but I was never aware that it was rejected for such a petty reason! It honestly just goes to show how entitled some people can be, and to the best of my knowledge, it's people who have this kind of attitude that are a major reason why certain fanbases can be downright toxic. That said, it sounds like the people who were against it were more fans of classic Lego system sets rather than the constraction theme that was spawned by Bionicle, as if to say that it's not "real Lego" or something, which is ludicrous!

      I'm thinking that Nintendo isn't really interested in display pieces. They want to make toys, not collectibles. Even the NES set was made with a lot of moveable parts and integration with the Super Mario figure. For a Zelda set to work, it needs to be something kids could play with, rather than a 2000 piece complex build that will end up on a shelf. At the same time, it needs to limit the number of custom molds used to justify the cost on Lego's end of things.

    I love Lord of the Rings but there is a lot of blood, and there are tons of Lego sets like Shelab the giant spider featuring a Frodo figure with his eyes rolled back showing white. And many sets feature the Oarks that are very bloody in the movie. So violent sets should no be a problem because they can easy not advertise the violence. Like the plane scene in Indiana Jones has a Lego set even though the guy Indie is fighting gets sliced in the plane propeller. Just wanted to let you guys know what I know.

    I think the reason the among us set was rejected by lego was to avoid any controversies regarding the popularity of the game. Like if the set was released and people found out about the set, they would probably think lego was just trying to cash in on the popularity of among us. And once you know it, 12 year old reddit memers would spam among us memes regarding the situation. Lego probably just didn't want to deal with any of that.

      Not sure why Lego would care about the opinion on some redditors lol. The more likely reason is that Lego saw among us as a fad and feared that by the time they released the sets, among us wouldn’t be relevant anymore.

    Actually now that i think about it, there are a bunch of locations from ASoUE that'd make for good lego sets. Places like Uncle Monty's house, Prufrock Preparatory School, the Queequeg, the Carmelita, the Hotel Denouement, etc.

    I love the idea of working with logo, but I never find the sets I'm looking for. Maybe it's because I'm a 32-year-old woman. The Adventure Time set looks exciting and would actually get me watching the show and, when I saw the proposal for a "Yellow" miniature set I was ready to put out money. I'd also love some nice graceful realistic animal sculptures and busts and some customizable wall art. I'd build functional art, like decorative lamps. I'd even be up for building a complex back-lit stained glass window. I guess I long for some aesthetic space between the cold grey space ships and the pink dream house looks of Lego Friends. Can't I just build something of lasting beauty as a design or art piece that isn't built around TV or other passing trends? Can't I make Yellow? Or a detailed graceful white cat? Or an exciting abstract sculptural lamp to place in my window? Maybe one day I'll finally get to make Yellow.
