Question to the designers: When creating a marketable Lego Idea set, how much do you communicate with the fan designer, and how much do you listen to their input if you do?

I saw an interview where this same question was asked. They do a call weekly where designers show what they are working on and the fan designer can provide input and what they would like to be done differently. They also talk outside of these regularly scheduled meeting until each party is satisfied with the results:)

Utter failure? It was sold out over Christmas. Granted they put it on sale, but it still sold well and does still sell well enough. It's not a perfect set but I wouldn't consider it an "utter failure" like the Hulkbuster or Black Panther, just because you personally don't like it.

@@IronFishChannel well, it had overwhelming negative reviews, both from buyers and from professional reviewers. For a newly released set to have a 30% discount from Lego themselves is extremely rare and for Brickfanatics to have it slated to retire in 2023, within a year of release is also extremely rare for an Ideas set. I personally like it actually, and would probably look to get it cheaply at some point (because I get all the Ideas sets) but with all the unnecessary parts for a grandstand and loads of extra minifigs and hair pieces it’s been vastly overpriced, hence those early discounts. “Utter failure” is probably a bit harsh, I’ll grant you, but it’s a real swing and a miss from Lego. I feel sorry for the original creator because they must’ve been extremely proud to be a submission winner, only for it to turn out like this.

@@danhodson7187 I would imagine the creator is thrilled just to have made it and couldn't care too much about the drama. It was really dumb of Lego to pump the price so hard with a bunch of minifigures though as if it weren't already customizable with literally any minifigures from your entire collection.

@@MrAssChapman What I feel like most people who follow Lego on KZread and online and stuff don't realize is Lego is trying to grow their market beyond just them. The buyer they're catering to with this set doesn't have a "Minifigure collection" they can customize the set with, especially with all the new colors for skin tones included. The inflated price is true but "AFoLs" are such a small percentage of LEGO's current target demographic.

Great review, I love the use of the hammer and so glad they kept that from the OG idea

Maybe ask the designers why they changed the whole style of set, from a rundown, rustic build, to a tidy, clean, modern tourist type lodge. Thanks Tiago

Love all the texturing. The Thor hammer was a brilliant idea. Can't wait to get my hands on it. Great work again!

My guy it’s January 25th

Questions to the designers: 1. How many times did you arrange a video conference with the MOC designer to talk about the model? 2. Was there anything at any stage that the MOC designer didn't like and you changed it afterwards? 3. How many sketch model iterations did you go through to reach the final satisfaction?

The piece value of this set is insane!! All these animals, minifig items, plants, thor hammers…. Crazy!!

Question for the designers: what’s your favorite detail inside the cabin?

when i first saw the official pictures i didn’t really think it looked as good as the fan submission but the more i look at it the more i like it and also a lot of the changes lego made were necessary. for example the original did use some illegal building techniques which lego couldn’t have in the final set which gives the set a different look than the original

Question: Did the designers get any inspiration from the Mystery Shack in Gravity Falls? I remember it being a Lego Ideas submission a while ago. Amazing build and stunning detail!

The Bright Light Yellow butterflies first appeared in the Lunar New Year Display set. The Bright Light Orange recolor/reprint are supposed to represent moths, not butterflies.

This set definitely doesn't take away too much of what the original designer created (especially on the exterior, although those trees are questionable). I will say, I actually prefer the color scheme used in this official LEGO set, but both designers of both models are amazing and they both look great. The designers did a nice job! Nice review!!!

Personally I LOVE how much details are inside. It’s part of the reason this is my favourite set I own.

This set looks excellent, especially with all the little details. I remember seeing similar-looking cabins in Ohakune (a small town here in New Zealand).

Wow I didn’t expect it to be so good and detailed! Definitely blown away 😊

Can you ask them there thoughts on the tree changes?

Totally forgot about the frog under the stairs, great review as always Tiago!

My only complaint with how it looks is the way the trees on the right side look (a little too sparse / wierd shaped branches for that type of tree), otherwise I think the changes from the original submission are positive ones Well, that and that they could have given us a new recolor of that bird, rather than the 2 of the 3 colors that already exist.

I really like each review you put out, the quality makes them very enjoyable. I am unable to afford Legos, but this allows me to keep informed and involved with something I love.

this set is super cool, out of my price range but something id love build someday. i especially love the moth flying towards the light at the front of the house lol

I would like to know why they decided to use a specialized piece for the door and the windows, instead of making them out of un-specialized pieces? Great set, thought!

I’ve been waiting for a review of this set

@TiagoCatarino

Wait no more

The reason I’m excited for this set is the dual molded dark gray legs coming to pick-a-brick.

I think this will make a nice companion set for the LEGO Ideas Tree House

Hilarious, and subtle, hint to Subscribe! Great video as always and this is 100% a set that I can't wait to come out!

Such a gorgeous set. It is a bit dissapointing at how watered down the trees are, but it doesn't take away the spirit of the build. Still a beautiful buy.

I like what they did with the trees. Gorgeous things. Make me feel all cozy like.

Honestly I like house's modern redesign better. Original trees might look better but they would push piece count and price point higher.

what i don't understand is why there isn't a support beam right below the top front window it would actually make the A shape the entire set is supposed to be based on, instead it's not an A cabin, but a triangle cabin

I go camping with my family every year, and this set really reminds me of the camping grounds, not to mention the cabin looks amazing

Question for the designers: What details do you wish you could have included in this set?

this looks gorgeous, i wish i had the money to buy it, but for now ill just admire it on screen. great set!

The trees are a little lackluster but I’m very happy with it still and cannot wait to purchase.

I really want this set. Just gotta find the space for it. Question for the designers: Was it difficult to get the butterflies printed? I would think they would've already done it by now if it was an easy piece to print onto. Also, what did they think of the original model's loose plates? Did they have to figure out how to make it look similar, or did the idea come to them right away to use bricks along with brackets?

You review is probably the most detailed and in depth I’ve seen, thank you.

Great video Tiago! Appreciate your objectivity like always. Question for designers: What do you look for when choosing a Lego Idea’s final version?

As a kid, I would always cram as much detail and things into tiny lego rooms, one because I wanted to save on using pieces for walls, but also because even irl I would always find more ways to sneak stuff into a smaller space, and I still do it. So seeing this build basically be the pinnacle of what kid me would have wanted, very very cool, might try to get it and build it for nostalgia and display it on my shelf

No stickers 😱 Tiago, as I mentioned on your Instagram no matter review, bad or good, we will buy this set ASAP, but with info No Stickers we will buy two sets 😁💸 Thanks for reviewing it 😀

i really like the hammers. i will for sure use it in my mocs.

It’s an awesome mix of display set and play set. Absolutely beautiful

More blocks than Pet Shop, which has 2 separate buildings that have 3 floors! 6 floors vs 2... Forest houses usually have cheap interiors, but here it looks like from the (Lara) Croft Manor, only the knight's armor is missing....

Wow, what a cute set - so charming and full of details - fantastic job , chapeau to the designers 👍🏻 My son and me are loving it ❤️

Finally there are the reviews! Thank you and best regards, Martin from Dresden (Germany) 🙋🏻‍♂️

Thank you for your review. I do plan to purchase this set to had it to the winter village scene that I am planning. It would be nice to have some seasonal options in the set. The current design has a fall theme, which can easily be passed on as summer as well. A winter theme with some white outlines to represent snow would have been great. Maybe Lego can develop an add-on winter scene kit to be sold separately. This would be such an innovative approach.

It seems like some people don't like the shift away from a rustic/ gritty hermit in the woods vibe. I think lego is trying to expand the interested audience, and many building techniques to make it rustic do not comply with Lego's strict building standards. This includes the trees. Overall I think the end result still has a wonderful feel to it. The story is open ended and is what the user makes of it.

love this set so much

I love the "subscribe" piece, well done T.C

Just got this the other day and built it. I love it even more than I thought I would. It's just an incredibly well-designed set. Contrary to Tiago's opinion, I LOVE all the indoor decor and furnishings, and setting them up was a neat feeling for me. Like seeing up a doll's (which... I guess it is, honestly 😅 ). There were also some REALLY COOL building techniques where some of the pieces inside (like for the sink and the stove) went into and sometimes through the was to hang stuff on, or to be used as the multilevel wood paneling, which was its own set of cool building techniques. The only part I didn't completely enjoy were the two roof plates as they're identical, meaning you build one pattern twice. Other than that... It's a wonderful set with no real flaws imo. I've got this set on a shelf with 3 of the Red Fox 3-in-1's that have been built into all three options; Fox, Owl, and Squirrel. (And seriously, that Fox 3-in-1 might be the best one made. All three designs look and feel intentional, rather than one main design and two others just kind of slapped together. Give the Fox 3-in-1 set every award you can throw at it!) Anyway, fantastic set. I do recommend.

This is a nice cozy cabin I think it would pair well with the RV from 2022 or the new off-roading set you know the one with the huge tires in the mountain bikes

It's like the Lego 10+ at-at a lot of detail, Also I love how they snuck the frog and the Italian flag in there!

I want to buy it and live in it.

The oars get me. They have oar paddle pieces that they use in the botanical sets. But when it comes to making an actual oar for a canoe, they go with a single mold piece instead of a paddle piece and a bar piece.

@IronFishChannel

Жыл бұрын

The single piece is more natural for this type of piece since it looks like wood. That single oar piece is for new "plastic oars" rather than natural wood ones if that makes sense.

I really love this set. I will probably get it once it''s on sale. But it's worth the money for sure.

5:26 The little subscribe LEGO brick is a fun easter egg and made me laugh a bit Keep up the great work!

This is an awesome looking set! Parabéns Tiago

I wish the tress were like the original :( Or they had another design with denser leaves

Thanks for catching all of the subtleties Tiago! Loved the review.

I'm fine with the changed trees, but that door was so so cool in the original version.

Finally I've been dreaming about owning a lego design from Norton his work is amazing and now finally I can have one of his creation even though its been reworked to fit lego standards. Great review 👍

ive been looking at this set for a while, but now i HAVE to pick it up

Amazing video and such an amazing set 👏

hey tiago i love your reviews just wanted to say thank you for addressing the gap at the top of your set. small things like this for some reason really matter to me so being aware of this definitely helps my decision for whether or not i end up buying this ( 4:42 ) great video as always :)

I like the texture technique on the walls. I wish the same technique was used on the roof. Ask why not

And the designers wanted to highlight the fact that it's ok to customize the minifigures to your own liking.

A nice and balanced review of this set. I've seen biased reviews of just pictures which clearly didn't understand that LEGO aims at a various public when 'upgrading' an Ideas set. However, the trees...........

GOD I love legos, thank you for you videos, your channel shows me all the cool sets I cannot afford in great detail!

I believe so! Like you said, it will require you not to push the pieces all the way but yeah, I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to do it.

Yessss , finally . What an Amazing set

The barn door and the overall wooden facade is the only issue I have. The trees are well, ok but the barn-dated look would’ve been a new expert experience

Love it. Might need to get it. Not sure where I’ll put it. It’s nice enough maybe to live in my living room or maybe on a bookshelf. Question to designer: when working in non square conditions ( like the roof) are there formulas that are in place to follow?
