(...) Nice work M, I think the decision to ditch the top turret was a good call. The new color scheme is great, and so is the swarm pic. So what is next? Some kind of hive-carrer for them? -Keith (20 years ago, 3-Mar-05, to lugnet.build.microscale, lugnet.cad, lugnet.space, FTX)

How on earth did you get all of those parts to line up? I'm either missing a huge modelling tool here or you've spent dozens of hours hunched over a figureing pad. Good stuff... Matthias (20 years ago, 2-Mar-05, to lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)

The only thing I don't care for is the top turret, I've never been a huge fan of those gearshift lever (...) (20 years ago, 2-Mar-05, to lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)

I don't object to your viewpoint (I think it would be really great if it DID work like Cafepress), I'm merely pointing out there are other equally viable and (simpler) alternatives to the way the Lego Factory might function.

Nevertheless, I stand by my original assertion that offering royalties isn't critical at all in making the Lego Factory concept a success - and just adds another layer of complexity to what is no doubt an already complex process.

Limiting model size can keep the designs within the realm of typical consumer spending habits AND more importantly is probably required anyway, since I seriously doubt Lego (...)

(...) A good tradeoff might be to give designers credit toward future purchases of their own. That stays "within the system" - no checks to mail, etc. When a designer's model is purchased, that designer's account gets a credit. Very simple, right? (...)

(...) When a company does something outside its core competency, something infrequent, this is the kind of outcome to be expected.

Thanks for the kind words. I agree with you that the idea the Lego company has with regards to creating other sets would be a good one, given the substantial number of very nice creations that did not win.
