Can you actually say you’ve got penetrated popular culture if you do not have your personal Lego set? Regardless of Lego providing dozens, if not a whole lot, of automotive-themed units through the years, not a one has been a Tesla. That might change thanks to at least one grownup fan of Lego (generally known as AFOLs) who submitted a tremendous Tesla Supercharger Station set of his personal creation to the Lego Concepts platform. The set consists of three superchargers, 4 autos (a mannequin Y, Cybertruck, and two Mannequin Ss), two minifigs, and a Tesla Retailer the place the autos are offered and serviced.
Lego Concepts is how common folks get their “my own creations” (MOCs) was official units. The platform lets anybody add an unique set thought and the neighborhood votes on them. Any set that reaches 10,000 votes will then be thought-about for manufacturing within the firm’s widespread Concepts theme. Some widespread previous Concepts units embody Medieval Blacksmith (21325), Tree Home (21318), and Globe (21332).Â
It is not straightforward for an Concepts submission to succeed in manufacturing even when it does garner 10,000 votes. You may discover the three examples above are normal objects that do not require licensing to be developed and offered by Lego. These kinds of units usually have a better time getting by means of all of Lego’s hoops. That mentioned, some units that do require licensing get permitted as a result of Lego already has a longtime relationship with that firm. Disney’s Steamboat Willie (21317) set, which is now discontinued, involves thoughts. Sadly, Lego has no formal relationship with Tesla right now and even rejected a Cybertruck set that reached 10,000 votes prior to now.
The Supercharger Station set was created by Concepts person Airbricks95, whose actual title is Aurelien French. In response to his Concepts profile web page, he lives in France and he is been constructing Lego MOCs for 15 years. As you may see on his profile, he’s pretty prolific and his work is mostly of top of the range.
His Tesla-themed set, although, is his hottest, having simply handed his Springfield Elementary Faculty from The Simpsons set in votes with 2,685 to 2,614. Sure, French’s Tesla set nonetheless has an extended solution to go to succeed in 10,000 votes, however this sort of publicity ought to assist. With a view to vote you have got to enroll in a Lego Concepts account. I already had one, so my vote’s in.Â
