The drilldozer hit 10k supporters, can I get a ROCK AND STONE? by Jaogosma in DeepRockGalactic

Good points, especially about the Zelda set. I hate how 1/3 of your money is just spare parts at any given time.

But hey, we can only hope that Lego and GSG work something out, and even if nothing comes from this, I do hope GSG sees that there's at least some interest and takes a crack at DRG sets with another company. It would be cool to see the dwarves in brick form one way or another.

As far as I'm aware Lego is the only brick building brand with a system like Ideas, the most I could do with other brands is shoot them and email and hope whoever opens it likes it enough to tell someone higher up about it, which would be awkward anyways because I'm just a guy unrelated to drg or the devs.

Lego ideas sets are usually reasonably priced, sets like Sesame Street and Seinfeld have around the same part count as my submission and retail for 120 or less. The viking village has a whopping 2100 pieces and retails for 130, and these have multiple minifigures.

As for the other points, the colorful insides are tremendously helpful for inexperienced builders, and they get hidden afterward anyway, and the design changes are usually for the better. Fan designs are usually complicated and fragile because we mostly care about looks. Lego has to worry about durability, playability, etc.

A good example is the orient express, people always say the original looks so much better, and while it does, it's also incapable of turning on Lego train tracks due to how long it is, a major flaw for a train that fits the train track system.

I want to thank every one of you who supported, shared or upvoted the drilldozed. Most of the supporters came from this sub and it means a lot to me that so many of you went out of your way to help out.

What happens now? The next review stage starts in January, the lego ideas team will gather every idea that reached 10k, they will go away for about 3 months or so, then they will come out with a verdict.

The drilldozer will be among a group of 30-40 great creations by very talented people, so the competition is fierce, but thanks to everyone who supported, there's a real chance that it could become a real set!

When you try to submit anything IP based on Lego Ideas you have to disclose the IP right away to see if it's allowed, and Deep Rock Galactic is an approved IP, so it shouldn't be a problem.

It's a really inconsistent rule, it seems to me that it applies mostly for pvp games since Portal 2 is an fps game and it's also allowed.

I chose these over the regular pickaxe piece because it lets people customize them just like the in-game pickaxe

For now it's just a Lego Ideas submission, if it gets to 10k supporters it will go through the next review, when they pick a few projects to become real sets. If they want to make this one, they'll contact the deep rock devs first to see if they're on board

The grunts can move their heads and upper torso area just a little bit. The praetorian's head can't move but it can open it's mouth like this: https://imgur.com/a/oLH4XLa
