That was flattering and fun to see."īut again, LEGO set his space station aside in February (2019). "In the end there were a lot of fans watching the crossing of the finish line. "It took five months to gather the first 5,000 votes and another three to complete the deal," said Ruge. Ruge's space station model qualified for its second review in 2018. It is very fragile, which is not a big deal in a zero gravity environment. "As with the larger one the most difficult part was the overall stability of the structure. "This time it was a smaller scale, so the challenge was to keep as many details as possible and to catch the essence of the station and the play value," said Ruge in an interview with LEGO. After it was rejected by LEGO's review team a year later, he reworked his design, reducing its size to match the scale the space shuttle included in the LEGO Ideas' set " Women of NASA," which was released in November 2017. Ruge, who goes by the username "XCLD" on the LEGO Ideas website, first submitted his model of the space station in 2014. "Surprising news: My LEGO ISS gets a second chance! This time it might become an official set after all! Vote for it and tell everyone about it!!" wrote Ruge on Facebook. The product idea that gets the most votes by the end of the voting period will be turned into an official LEGO Ideas set. LEGO on Monday began accepting votes for the four models. "What we now need is your help in determining which one of these four finalists should become an official LEGO Ideas set," said Jensen. The review, inspired by LEGO Ideas' 10th anniversary, resulted in four finalists, including the International Space Station (ISS), a model of Disney's animated alien Stitch, a set of miniature Sega arcade machines and a smaller version of Nathan Sawaya's "Art of The Brick" sculpture "Yellow." "We re-reviewed every single product idea that has reached the 10,000 supporter milestone but was not approved." to rediscover product ideas with the potential to become an official LEGO Ideas set launching in 2020," Hasan Jensen, a member of the LEGO Ideas team at the company's headquarters in Denmark, announced on Monday (May 20). Now, the Danish toy company is letting the public decide if Ruge's space station is put into production.
