Re: Vote for a Curiosity Rover LEGO Kit

After reading about the process, it's not quite that easy. First, it needs 10,000 votes by September 4th (right now it's over 4000 short). After it reaches 10k, Lego will review the design for manufacturability and whether it fits their business strategy. If it passes the review, it might get manufactured. Lego says they have production capacity for one model a quarter. If more then one model passes review, they will make one, and the others will get put in a queue that may or may not be eventually made. Last quarter, 4 models had 10k votes. So far this quarter, no models have 10k, but Curiosity is currently 4th.
