LEGO Ideas Gothic Castle project removed from review stage
LEGO Ideas has removed one project from its line-up of over 50 sets on track to potentially become official LEGO Ideas sets.
Exactly a week ago, Gothic Castle made it past the all-important milestone of 10,000 supporters, meaning it was one step closer to becoming an official LEGO Ideas set. However, LEGO Ideas has now posted a comment to the Gothic Castle project page, titled ‘Decision on our ability to produce this project’.
“Dear Ponyraptor, Firstly, thank you for building and submitting your very well-done Gothic Castle,” reads the statement. “Unfortunately, for private reasons communicated to you directly, we have had to archive your submission and no longer consider it further. We’re sorry to be the bearers of this disappointing news.”
While this doesn’t make clear what reason precisely has pushed Gothic Castle out of 2023’s first review phase. However, some reasons that could have led to it no longer being considered are interaction with third-party intellectual properties, product ideas based on competitors’ products, or another feature that was deemed unsuitable by the LEGO Ideas review panel.
This brings the total number of LEGO Ideas projects down to 51, rather than 52. Here’s a reminder of all the LEGO Ideas submission that could still become an official LEGO Ideas set.
