But what's the real problem with Lego Ideas??
The majority of project proposals, and those are ugly stuff made by kids. You
certainly can't blame Lego for not rejecting stuff made by their #1 target, and
I don't think they should. But it's the way it is, the vast majority of Lego
Ideas entries are ugly pointless builds (-probably-) made by 10 year olds. I
don't enjoy browsing them but imagine yourself as a 10 year old who's proud of
his build, you don't want to see it rejected because it's crap. Can't TLG find a
solution for this, filter the entries perhaps?

HEY All,
<3 LEGO <3
We are two flourishing LEGO FANS who have decided to dedicate our Thesis
research to an extensive study of the LEGO user's impressions on the LEGO Ideas
platform and the fan contribution to TLG - basically on all of you!! :)
SO, we would like to ask you 3 brief questions, which will be used as
qualitative data in our thesis.
1. How and why has the LEGO Ideas changed your perception on LEGO?
2. What would it take for you to feel alienated by LEGO in terms of their new
ideas for co-creation? Or can LEGO do no wrong?
3. Would you say that LEGO co-creation with fans have made you more loyal to the
brand? How?
THANK YOU for any comments and responses!
AND if ANY of you would like to help us even more - we would like to set up a
skype-chat / informal interview with you, it will take no more than 10-15
minutes of your time! THANK YOU

Gary, I'll be looking forward to release of this major update to your guide.
Keep up the great detective work!

Wow... this place is quiet...
Just to make an announcement.... for those of you who purchased my 2800 page
Unofficial LEGO Sets/Parts DVD or online Computer Desktop download (from the
Cloud).
I have good news and bad news. The good news is that I am in the process of
updating it to the present year (well 2016+). There have not been any updates
sent out since my 2012 initial 2800 page/73 Chapter version. However that will
change. By the end of 2017 the updates will be done... and anyone who had
purchased the DVD (not the smaller CD from 2008)... or the download... when the
updates are done (bringing the total pages to well over 4000), you will be
getting those updates (as a complete download guide) for free. :-)
The bad news is that shortly my guide will be a CLOSED edition for new buyers.
And the reason is because I am working on a massive encyclopedic version of my
guide in book form for a major Asian country, which I am not at liberty to
discuss (yet), except to say it won't be in English unfortunately... and I had
to buy a block of 10 ISBN numbers to get enough titles (not using them all yet)
for a book form of my vast updated guide. Perhaps it will be translated to
English or other languages later, but it will start out in an Asian language.
If you want an immediate online copy of my guide with free future updates you
have to go to Lugnet Marketplace....
http://news.lugnet.com/market/buy-sell-trade/?n=17876
Once the edition is closed, I can only provide upgrades to current owners.
Thanks for all of those who have purchased in the past. I went thru some rough
patches (not completely out of the woods yet, but things are looking brighter...
both health and financially)... and researching LEGO has kept my sanity.
Cheers and thank you!
Gary Istok
P.S. Many rare items that won't be found elsewhere are going to be in my online
(and book form) LEGO encyclopedic guide....

Hi everyone,
I find an interesting paper in SIGGRAPH Asia conference 2015. It can convert a
3D model to a lego-constructed model and solve the stability problem.
The video and paper can be found in
http://www.cmlab.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~forestking/research/SIGA15-Legolization/
Will this work be helpful to you while designing or building your own lego
models?
Enjoy building!
Jie
