First 2016 LEGO Ideas Results: Old Fishing Store
The next LEGO Ideas set has been revealed! From the first 2016 LEGO Reviews Results, the chosen LEGO Ideas creation is the Old Fishing Store. This creation will be made into an official LEGO Ideas set. Congrats to Robert Bontenbal (RobenAnne). The final product, design, pricing and availability will be revealed in 2017.
Old Fishing Store
Fishing has always been a central point in Robert Bontenbal’s life. This big passion, in combination with his day job as an architectural draughtsman, is what came together to create this beautiful model that is packed with lovely details and play opportunities. Its creative building style represents a unique design expression for LEGO houses that we’re all very excited about.

Re: First 2016 LEGO Ideas Results: Old Fishing Store
I like the design and it looks like a fun build.
With the approved model being 2160 pieces it is going to be substantially redesigned. We have never had an Ideas set of 1k+ pieces. I'm concerned that the final product will be a shell of the original model and that it will lose a lot of what makes it good.
One of the main things that makes this design so great is the lack of visible studs and the color used for the tiles that gives it an aged look. If the final model doesn't hide the studs and use the nice color variety of tiles in the roof and the walls and the decking, and also the nice brick look on the lower part of the model, it will be another case of "what was voted on is not what was delivered".
But I'll keep my fingers crossed and keep a hopeful attitude about it. The current design is wonderful.

First, great design. I'm surprised this model was picked as much as I like it. It looks run down. Only set like that was the haunted house. I could be wrong. Depending on the price, I might get it.

Color me surprised that such an 'ideas' set would be picked.. Interesting turn of events if they do not gut it.
Re: First 2016 LEGO Ideas Results: Old Fishing Store
Seriously? I absolutely loved this design and thought it stood zero chance. Awesome!
Re: First 2016 LEGO Ideas Results: Old Fishing Store

I'm quite happily surprised that this was approved, just gotta wait to hear the price now.
Look, you wake up one day, and your legs, they just give and you just can't run anymore.
Re: First 2016 LEGO Ideas Results: Old Fishing Store
Wow finally after a streak of duds we get a fantastic set. I believe this set is what CUSSO/IDEAS was all about when it initially launched.
Will be in my shopping bag.

The Big Bang Theory, WALL-E, Caterham Super Seven, Yellow submarine. Big bang set refuses to die even with deep 30-50% discounts being the norm!captainrex803 wrote:

Re: First 2016 LEGO Ideas Results: Old Fishing Store
I really love this set and am really happy they approved it. It would be awesome if they left the part count what it is. I hope it still looks something like this. I can imagine having the tiles be the walls or some other way to reduce the parts.
I do not know why they changed the color for the Carterham Super Seven to Yellow from Dark Green. It looked very classy in Dark Green. I think yellow made it lose appeal for AFOl's. It does look great, but I do not collect yellow and black sets. Personally, almost any other color would have been better.

Re: First 2016 LEGO Ideas Results: Old Fishing Store
It's a case of IMO. Yellow submarine is a dud for me but I'm willing to bet it will be at best something like Big Bang sales wise.

Re: First 2016 LEGO Ideas Results: Old Fishing Store
This was the one project that I was hoping would be picked above all the others. I didn't actually expect it to pass review so I was pleasantly surprised. I plan in getting two of this set even if it turns out to be priced similar to the modular sets.
