#12Saw this ages ago and clicked support. Glad to see it has made it.

#13I'm out of the loop here - what is "LEGO Ideas", and why is it noteworthy that this has 10,000 supporters?
It's where fans can submit their own creations. At 10k supporters Lego takes a closer look (fitness for the Ideas series, cost of production, IP rights etc.). If Lego decides to build it, the fan gets a share of the profit from the set. Lego Ideas is the premier adult Lego series, with lots of cool sets at high price points.
10,000 people on a website looks like an easy number to reach, and one that bots or a group of loosely organized trolls (4chan) could easily game.
Maybe 50,000 should be the requirement?

#14Probably not going to pass by LEGO's review board, like a lot of these aircraft projects.
Would Boeing be entitled to a share of the proceeds from the sale of 747 sets?

#16I seem to recall Lego had figures that fit those chairs in Technik back in the 80-90 that where not minifigs. Does anyone remember that?
Edit: yes, they where called "Technic figures" and would fit better with this set than minifigs.

Presumably LEGO will raise the limit if they get swamped, but 10,000 is just the bar to get considered by the staff, it confers no guarantee of success and hence isn't super worth gaming.

I think Lego wouldn’t need to spend too many resources on throwing out 4Chan ideas
