Third 2014 LEGO Review Results: Announcing LEGO Ideas #013 We’re thrilled to share with you the latest LEGO Ideas results, this time for the third 2014 LEGO Review. Nine projects qualified for the third 2014 LEGO Review between September of last year and early January. The LEGO Ideas Review Board has evaluated these projects and ultimately decided to green-light one project to become an official LEGO set, and we're still considering another one.
Here are those results: LEGO Ideas #013 Labyrinth Marble Maze Huge congratulations to LEGO Ideas member JKBrickworks, whose Labyrinth Marble Maze is the latest project to be selected as a future LEGO Ideas set! Jason Allemann is a Canadian LEGO artist who re-discovered the hobby when the LEGO Group launched MINDSTORMS and acquired the Star Wars license in the late 1990’s. Today he builds lifelike sculptures, mechanical models, and micro-scale spaceships and architecture models. We’re particularly excited about this project; it’s a great interactive table-top game that you can customize to your own liking. Design, pricing, and availability We’re still working out the final product design, pricing and availably for the Labyrinth Marble Maze, so check back on LEGO Ideas later this year for details. Still considering F7A Hornet The LEGO Review Board is still considering the F7A Hornet model by nosmigon. Our final decision will take some time, and we’ll share details when we’re able.
All other projects from the Third 2014 LEGO Review will not be produced The LEGO Review Board has evaluated each project according to our decision criteria. We’ve decided that all other concepts in the Second 2014 review period will unfortunately not be produced as LEGO sets. This decision, however, does in no way take away from the incredible talent put into these projects or the passion supporters have shown. How do we make these decisions? Getting 10,000 votes on a project is an extraordinary accomplishment in and of itself but it’s really just the beginning of a journey. After reaching 10.000 votes the project will enter the LEGO Review stage. During the LEGO Review, a team of specialists within The LEGO Group – including LEGO set designers, marketing and business representatives, and other relevant team members – investigate and evaluate the project to determine its potential as a LEGO set. This involves analyzing the votes and information you give us about your project as well as looking at things like playability, safety, and fit within the LEGO brand.
This takes a while and the timing varies because of all the different factors involved in the decision process. Every potential LEGO product, including those developed internally, goes through a process like this and must meet similar standards. The LEGO Review Board makes all final decisions on which new sets the LEGO Group will release based on LEGO Ideas projects. Next LEGO Review Results coming Fall 2015 The First 2015 LEGO Review is well underway, and you can expect results in fall this year. We’re also looking forward to sharing more details about upcoming sets The Big Bang Theory, Doctor Who, and WALL-E when we are able. Until then, happy building!Star Wars: The Force Awakens Even after a slew of Lego video game adaptations over the years, Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($40 on the Mac App Store) is able to offer new elements and add humor and replay value. Beginning with the Battle of Endor from Return of the Jedi, the game has you and your Ewok allies take on the Imperial forces while Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader team up against Emperor Palpatine aboard the second Death Star, the game running you through its tutorial segments all the while.
Start with the classic Endor setting from “Return of the Jedi” and go from there. From here, you then hop into the plotline of The Force Awakens, taking on the roles of Poe Dameron, Finn, Rey, Han Solo, Chewbacca, BB-8, and others. Like its Lego adaptation predecessors, the basic gameplay style of “enter a new screen, smash everything, collect the Lego pieces and see what you can build in order to solve the puzzles to advance to the next section” remains familiar. Even so, the game designers have added a new multi-build feature, expanding on the number of solutions available for the puzzles. Along with impressive graphics, sound and vocal work, Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens is able to entertain on all levels, functioning as a good platform, action and puzzle game while also possessing a sense of humor that works across all ages. The characters are able to keep a fun sense of slapstick humor going, complete with characters snagging coffee and pastries from each other during the cut scenes and silly mission objectives (such as having to find a shipment of Wookie Cookies for Chewbacca) were added to a level’s objectives.
It’s the game’s sense of humor that helps work through the dark moments from The Force Awakens, such as replacing the blood on Finn’s helmet in the early stages of the story to green goop from a beverage that was spilled, which helps make it more suitable for a family audience. Several cover-based combat sequences add a much-appreciated dose of action to the game. Like the previous Lego titles, there’s a focus on replay value as well as unlocking playable characters—some sections of each level can only be accessed by certain characters. A Free Play mode allows you to explore at will, and support for gamepads as well as simultaneous two-player gameplay allows for different play styles. There’s generally something new to unlock upon replay, which should keep players that love to fully complete a game completely happy. There are a few bugs to iron out, but nothing that serves as a deal breaker. Occasional user interface bugs surfaced when the game flashed the wrong key to press to perform an action and you have to work around this.
