A Passenger

Until today, the only two lego sets bought by us in the past 7 years were two ideas set (Tron and Delorean, obvi). We are very supportive of that line, but had worried for some time that, much like the MOCS that get the most attention at cons, the most popular submissions would always be branded content.

Thus we want to throw our full support behind this brilliant globe by flickr user "JD" It's a rounding technique we haven't seen before, inspired by the dymaxion map.

The full set of photos and videos on the LEGO Ideas submission shows the thought but into making the design buildable and understandable. LEGO's work has been done for them.
