Lego Ideas and how to turn your Lego imaginations to get Royalties

Hello everyone. Today this piece will be talking about things you need to know about LEGO Ideas and how you could turn your Lego thoughts, ideas, imaginations, and whatever you think of to Lego sets. Then you could get a percentage of Royalties from the Lego Group. You should know from the start that the Lego Group would not just take any idea or imagination or thought and premiere it immediately before you could get your Royalties. But do not worry. That is what this piece is here to explain. Could you stick with us and find out more? 

Lego Ideas is also known formerly as Lego Cusco. It is also known as a website run by Chaordix in collaboration with the Lego Group. It allows its users to submit various ideas for Lego products to be converted into potential sets used commercially. The original designer or the person who initially brought on the idea gets a percentage (1 percent) of all royalties given to the original Lego set. This idea and group of sets started in the year 2008. It is a spin-off from the Cuusoo company from Japan. It is named after the Japanese word for Fantasy or Daydream kūsō 

Lego Ideas was introduced first as a spin-off from the Cuusoo Japanese Company. The company created this as a collaboration between that Japanese company with associations of the Lego Group. Then it was now titled Lego Cuusoo; the website was later labeled as a beta site, and then it remained the same till the Lego Ideas was now unveiled as a finished product. In the year 2014, the platform now later moved and remained at Chaordix.

There are a variety of phases for the Lego Ideas and Royalty collection process. For instance, the 17th Apollo 11 Saturn V Rocket has nine hundred and sixty-nine pieces from the first year that the moon landed. 

Various users express their ideas by merging written descriptions and then sample Lego models, demonstrating concepts into project pages. After these pages are published, they are now viewable to other users. The essence of the goal of a project needs to be supported by ten thousand different Lego users. 

These are the things that would make your idea, imagination, or fantasy eligible. The page here would then get published, and then it would be reviewed. In the beginning, the projects would be held on the ideas/cursor website for about two years, and then it would be removed if it did not reach the ten thousand necessary votes needed to support that idea, thought, or imagination. 

After a long, while later, Lego Ideas changed the threshold, and it included a minimum number of one hundred votes that were used in the first two months after a project that was submitted expired. This followed by another year which then reached a thousand voices. After another six months, it got five thousand votes, and then in six months, it could go ten thousand supporting votes. 

If all of these happen, then the chance your idea, fantasy, or imagination would get picked or selected to serve as the inspiration for a Lego set or Lego creation would bump up and increase.

Typically, different project submissions were allowed to be about anything or something, which did not limit the style or the size of a project. But over time, there were Lego sets and Lego Ideas, which ended up getting rejected because they violated one law or the other. Because of this reason, the Lego Group started stopping the usage of some specific types of molds. 

These banned properties used intellectually that were owned by other toy companies that we're competing with the Lego Group. Even those that were competing with the Lego Group that manufactured, produced, and distributed adult content. The Lego Ideas further restricted the submissions of projects in June 2916 after limiting the project size to around three thousand pieces maximum. 

It stated that any project that replicated a weapon that looks like one that could be used by a person or any other project that looks like an intellectual property would not be accepted. Lego Ideas also restricted submissions in 2017 after it disallowed every type of project based on licenses that had third-party affiliations that the Lego Group already created. These included projects related to the Harry Potter or Star Wars universe. 

So if you have any fantasy or idea from these magical universes, we are sad to say you have got to let them go.

Every eligible project would be reviewed collectively in order of the type that would get ten thousand supporters within any one of the three annual deadlines of January, May, and September.

As a result of a very high number of projects submitted based on different ideas that the Lego Group ends up rejecting, the Lego Group has changed its standards for submissions as the years went by.

After its inception, several Lego sets have gotten the ten thousand vote threshold, and these have gotten rejected through the review for various reasons. 

There are abandoned sets that have been based on different intellectual properties. These were all dismissed as a result of the content matter that was presented. Various themes related to religious references, drugs, sex, alcohol, after world war II, or items related to first-person shooters that young Lego fans should not use have all been rejected because of Lego sets like Shaun of the Dead and FireFly.

There are also other projects which were rejected, and these include those that are based on the My Little Pony friendship magic as a result of the original property being owned by Hasbro that is a competing toy company. Other Lego sets were created from The Legend of Zelda due to the need to manufacture completely original molds; the Lego group did not entirely rule out all other projects from the franchise. 

There were sand crawler sets available for the complete Ultimate Collector Series because of the ongoing collaboration with Lego Star Wars from Lucasfilm and the Lego Group. 

There was a review that occurred in the year 1909 and 2015. It was announced in October, and it stated that there were no projects selected for the first period. Just like various projects were rejected for different reasons. Many of these projects did not meet revised standards for submission, which were issued in June 2016.

There was also a record of about twenty-six projects which qualified for the first 2020 review. This also followed another thirty-five qualified projects through the second 2020 review. The Lego Group also cited the sudden increase in projects which surpassed the ten thousand vote threshold. This was a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and the long lockdown period. The first review, done in the year 2921 phase, noticed another record number with fifty-seven qualified projects after a project was disqualified due to intellectual conflict from properties. 

If the product ends up getting cleared for production, it is later appropriately developed and looked at by the designers from the Lego Group. Then the final model would get created by the designers of the Lego Group. After all of the designs have been made, the set would get released just like the others published by the Lego Group, officially with the Lego Ideas banner. 

Users who have their projects manufactured or produced end up getting ten different copies of the completed set and then (here's the part you have been waiting for) a one percent royalty of the Lego set's net credit and sales and bio on the materials of the group. You would then be called the Lego Ideas set creator.

This part would let you know sets that have won had more than ten thousand votes, and have made it into the Lego world. Around thirty-seven Lego sets from Lego Ideas have been produced, while forty-four groups have been announced.

Sets that are based on a subsisting intelligent possession also have locations that are available in a documented statement form. A thick or bold line reveals what time the branding transforms from Cuusoo, which it initially is, to an Idea. Flags exemplify the inventor's heritage or homeland.
