LEGO Ideas RMS Titanic Achieves 10,000 Supporters

April 9, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Stepping away from the exciting LEGO Dimensions news today, I have some more LEGO Ideas news to report. The RMS Titanic by Ssorg enters the First 2015 Review Stage fray as it becomes the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. Ssorg has proposed two different sized builds for the passenger liner depending on what LEGO decides to do while reviewing it. Note that the sizes of the Titanic are scaled according to the real one.

The projects is the fourth one to hit 10k supporters on LEGO Ideas in the last 6 days and joins a crowded list in the review stage which includes The Discworld, Science Adventures, Medieval Market Street, Disney Princess Frozen Elsa’s Ice Palace, Douglas DC-3, Bricksauria – Tyrannosaurus Rex, the International Space Station, The Golden Girls, and The Legend of Zelda: King of Red Lions Play Set. I believe this will also have the most sets in a single review stage with 10 projects currently vying for that coveted spot to become an official set. Ssorg doubles his chances in this review stage since his Douglas DC-3 also reaching 10k supporters earlier this year.
