LEGO Review Results for The Goonies 30th Anniversary - The Inferno

First and foremost, congratulations to Lyonsblood for reaching 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas, and toward everyone for all of the support of the The Goonies 30th Anniversary - The Inferno project! The results of the LEGO Review are in and you can see full details on the LEGO Ideas Blog.

Review Results for The Goonies 30th Anniversary - The Inferno
Our team has thoroughly considered the possibility of releasing this project as a LEGO set according to the criteria of the LEGO Review. Unfortunately the LEGO Review Board has decided that we will not produce this project as a set.

Thank you to Lyonsblood for the passion and creativity that went into this project, and to all of you who voted so that we would have the opportunity to consider this as a potential LEGO set. We’re sorry to deliver this disappointing news.

How do we arrive at our decisions?
By gaining 10,000 supporters, a fan-submitted project moves from the Idea Stage to the Review Stage, where it earns the opportunity to be considered as a future LEGO® set in a process called the “LEGO Review.” Gaining 10,000 Supporters is just the first step in this process.

A "LEGO Review Board" composed of professional set designers, product managers, marketing representatives, and other key team members examine each qualified project. They build concept models and determine if the concept meets our high standards for what it takes to be a LEGO product; including factors such as playability, safety, and fit with the LEGO brand. Every potential LEGO product, including those developed internally, goes through a similar process and must meet the same standards.

The amount of time this takes varies due to all the factors involved. Unfortunately, this process sometimes means that well-conceived projects that gain just-as-passionate followings have to be turned down. Please note that the LEGO Review Board makes all final decisions on which new sets the LEGO Group will release based on LEGO Ideas projects.


Congratulations on 10,000 supporters, Lyonsblood!

Hey you guys! This whole ship's a treasure, and 10,000 supporters agree. We'd like to congratulate you on this milestone. Now it's time to walk the plankthe LEGO Review that ishope you remembered to hide some jewels in your marble bag.

We now officially advance this project to the Review phase.

What happens now?

This project moves from the Idea stage to the Review stage. A "LEGO Review Board" composed of designers, product managers, and other key team members will examine the idea. We'll build concept models and determine if the concept meets our high standards for what it takes to be a LEGO product. This includes factors such as playability, safety, and fit with the LEGO brand. Every potential LEGO product goes through a process like this and must meet the same standards.

The LEGO Review Begins in MONTH

This project qualifies for the Third 2014 Review, which includes projects that reach 10,000 supporters between early September and early January. For more information about the LEGO review process, please see the Project Guidelines and House Rules.

The review is a thorough process and from its start, and can take several months. When finished, we make a "go/no go" decision to develop and sell a product based on the The Goonies 30th Anniversary - The Inferno.

When the review is complete, we will inform you of our decision. If green-lit, this project goes into the longest phase of the project; the Development phase. During this time, LEGO model designers refine the product and develop it for release, we create the product materials (box, instructions, marketing), and get everything ready for a production run. This also takes several months.

We will post follow-up information and our decision here.


Congratulations on 5,000 Supporters!

You're halfway there, just look out for booty traps...or booby traps, or any kind of traps really! 

To get ready for reaching 10,000 supporters and entering the LEGO Review, please prepare some detailed interior photos and/or a LEGO Digital Designer model of your project if you can. This could help our designers build the prototype models of your project that we will evaluate. We will ask for those when your review period officially begins.

Good luck as you work your way to One-Eyed Willie's Treasure!

Congratulations on 1,000 Supporters!

Goonies never say die! And neither do the fans that support this. This project captures the spirit of this cult classic - The "Goon Docks" friends would be proud.

Best of luck as you continue on your treasure hunt to achieving 10,000 supporters!

I'm gettin' outta here. I'm... I smell ice cream!<o:p></o:p>
