LEGO designers reveal top tips for successful LEGO Ideas projects in new mini-series
Posted on 1st November 2017By Billy Langsworthy
The LEGO Ideas platform has enabled waves of LEGO fans to see their ideas for sets turned into the real deal.
Whether it’s LEGO Wall-E, LEGO Beatles Yellow Submarine or most recently, LEGO Women of NASA, the platform has brought to market a wealth of popular new sets.
Once an idea is uploaded, it has to reach 10,000 supporters to move into a Review stage where it stands a chance to be turned into an actual LEGO set available at retail.
LEGO has now launched a four-part mini-series, Sage Advice from Savvy Designers, which aims to give prospective LEGO Ideas members some advice on how best to improve their idea’s chance of reaching the 10,000 supporter milestone.
Featuring LEGO designers Mark Stafford, Sam Johnson, Mathew Boyle and Adam Corbally, the first three parts have spanned issues including advice for new members, the importance of accepting criticism and how to best appeal to the LEGO Review Board.
“From the game mechanics and the world-building to the artwork and illustrations, every detail has been considered to capture the magic of the original films,” said Eduardo Lima, co-founder of Studio MinaLima.
“Being a regular supplier to the famous shop has been a wonderful experience – but being in the window is a dream come true,” said Sue Lockey, Owner & Co-Founder at The Puppet Company.
“We’ve crafted an experience that throws players right into the heart of a MrBeast challenge, full of high-pressure competition and unpredictable moments that will keep everyone on the edge of their seats,” said Ben Krenz, Global General Manager, Games at Moose Toys.
“From our earliest conversations with the Hugimals team, there was clear alignment in how our brands approach emotional connection and thoughtful product design,” said Karen Branson, Chief Commercial Officer at Relatable.
