First of all, on behalf of Emily and Matt, I would like to thank everyone for their support! We have more than doubled our votes today, compared to the amount we had accumulated in the first hundred days. However, this will be a long process, so please reach out to your teams for additional support! We're going to need it!

Having to create a LEGO account is probably deterring a lot of people.

Or some people are trying to remember what their accounts were, the ones that they created all those years ago. Accounts that are now long forgotten, discarded when all the games on their site became rubbish, and all their good product lines were ended to make way for some of the strange product lines they have today.

There is an exception to every rule I suppose.

But the real question is, who still remembers their lego account... if they ever made one that is...

This guy.

Supported the set.

Most sets on Lego Ideas that get 10k votes still don't get made, so it's a long shot...

I supported it as well, but I needed to make a new account.

I really hope that the set(s) makes it into production, how ever slim the chances may be.

With first backing this does no one wonder why they don't just contact lego directly and get it made in a limited quantity.

Lego is probably wondering what the demand for this/these product(s) will be, and/or first has bigger things to worry about than this lego set making it to market.

Don't they usually get rejected for IP issues or is it some other aspect that makes it unfeasible?

A lot of the ones I see are either IP is unavailable/too costly or simply too large/complicated.
