Wow. LEGO Ideas or not, I totally enjoy ogling some of the designs there 👍
LEGO Ideas is a program enabling amateur designer to have their work become an official LEGO set. However this makes submitted designs unavailable for everyone else to build whether they are selected or not.
They are all excellent, but none of them can be released to the public by their respective authors as a list of part and custom instructions for years as The LEGO Group owns the rights to the design for at least a year even after the design reached the 10,000 votes goal and was officially rejected.
That part really sucks, yeah 🙁
I’ll probably appreciate this even more when my kids are older.
