Quote:The supporters we received for the EVE Online Ships GÇô Rifter project allowed us to examine the feasibility of another gaming-related product. However the Rifter presented a more challenging business case when considered alongside other potential products in this Review period. Therefore, the LEGO Review Board has decided that this project does not meet the requirements for the business case. Does this mean that the Rifter project is still viable in a future review cycle? Perhaps another business case can be made where there are not competing "gaming-related" products on the table. +++++++ I have never shed a tear for a fellow EVE player until now.

It's a very polite way of saying there's no way in hell they'd be able to market anything Eve-related to any age group involving minors. "Look any reason why you need to talk like that?

I'm quite sure it went bit like this;
"Back to the Future, everyone knows the brand, will sell more boxes. Oh, and it's a small model so it can be sold at a cheap price point"
"EVE Online? What's that? Some niche game... and this is a large model with tons of bricks used, making it expensive, ensuring that less copies of the product would be sold (so per-design overhead would have to be sunk into the price of less units)... naaah"

Negative.
The coolness factor was the marriage of LEGO and Eve, not possessing a blocky plastic model of a Rifter.

How disappointing. I was looking forward to a Lego Rifter as well. Yes, it is larger, has more pieces, and most likely more expensive, but at least it looked cooler than the tiny Deloreon.
Also, look at it this way. Back to the Future is old, outdated. Really will only appeal to older people (30s or so). Most of them don't play with Legos anymore. Eve it at least current, and would most likely appeal to the younger audience that DOES play with Legos still. |

The number of "use mega blocks instead" replies in this thread really disappoints me. If you've ever had Legos then you know mega blocks are not the same.
Also, the beauty of Lego is that if there is no set, you can just make it yourself. |

The niche you are envisioning for EVE-themed sets (starships for adult collectors at a premium price point) is already firmly covered by Star Wars.
Everyone knows Star Wars and despite George Lucas' best efforts most older Lego collectors are probably feeling nostalgic about episode 4-6. Star Wars reminds them just as much of their childhood (or of what they wish their childhood had been like) as Lego does. A perfect match.
Why would you replace that established line of Lego sets with some newfangled franchise that probably less than a million people have ever been involved in?
There is no point in confusing customers by offering them competing products that fall in the same niche and an EVE-themed set would compete directly with the Star Wars-themed collector sets. There can be no serious doubt that the latter are a much better choice for Lego.
Come back in 20 years when EVE is as widely known and evokes the same feelings of nostalgia as Star Wars, Batman or Back to the Future do today and Lego might listen. I'm a NPC corp alt, any argument I make is invalid. |

Come back in 20 years when EVE is as widely known and evokes the same feelings of nostalgia as Star Wars, Batman or Back to the Future do today and Lego might listen. The design of the Rifter is quite similar to the Star Wars sets, so I think that was one of the factors. I saw an internal video that showed part of the CUUSOO review process. They were discussing the four models, including the Rifter. While they didn't make a decision, they mentioned being worried about the stability of the model. I am looking for the video now to see which details I've forgotten, but I obviously can't share it. |

They state the the Rifter model is too big and unhandy for children to play with, which I agree to when seeing the model in actual size. I also think it is very likely to break apart if a child actually tried to play with it.
While they also state that the Back to the Future brand is outdated, they still think that the car model is nice and something children will play with regardless if they have seen the movies or not. So the parents buy it for nostalgia and the children get something to play with, win-win.
The modular western town appaears also to have been a hot contender but apparently overlapping with another product line.
EDIT: Looking at the video, I am not too convinced of the "playability" of the DeLorean. The frame appears too fragile and as a parrent you would probably need to help your child reattach the doors and other parts falling off multiple times per day. CEO - Ataraxia Pharmacies Biography |

I have a feeling it is competing too much with their Star Wars line of spaceships... We care about a lego space ship being a Rifter or a X-wing, but kids don't... And thats why they don't want to spent ressources creating spaceships that will compete with their already existing star wars spaceships.

Rifter was too challenging, so they picked something easier instead. This does not surprise me at all. It's about time CCP stops catering to the lazy players with this sense of entitlement for fear of losing money. These aren't the people making the game better, these are the people wanting you to turn EVE in to a game that is like most other MMO's. |

The thing is we are internet nerds... who cares if it has too many parts... its not like any of us will actually open the damn box... it will sit on my shelf and collect dust... just like the rest of my toys... they must remaind in mint condition till the end of times! At the end of the game both the pawn and the Queen go in the same box. |

I don't think you get how lego works, you need to open the box to assemble it. otherwise it would be like having one of those pour grids of car/plane/tank parts hung up on your wall and acting proud of it. |

those things are awesome. I built one that could navigate and map out any area as long as it had the battery power to do so. it would turn when it ran into obstacles, it would prevent itself from falling down stairs, and could climb over anything that would pass under the bump sensors. |

Gah... too bad. I would have bought the Rifter. My Reaper most likely does not have a chance then if they complained how flimsy the Rifter was. When I own my Reaper made out in real Legos I'll possibly end up making the instructions public.

They fail to realize that the base customers that made them what they are today are the people like us in our 20s-40s, not the little kids they are trying to pander to right now. I am sure there is a huge market for Lego's with adults. They just need to broaden their horizons a bit. As someone else so aptly stated in this thread...their loss. You are sorely mistaken if you think that a $500 Millenium Falcon is aimed at children. The niche you are envisioning for EVE-themed sets (starships for adult collectors at a premium price point) is already firmly covered by Star Wars. Everyone knows Star Wars and despite George Lucas' best efforts most older Lego collectors are probably feeling nostalgic about episode 4-6. Star Wars reminds them just as much of their childhood (or of what they wish their childhood had been like) as Lego does. A perfect match. Why would you replace that established line of Lego sets with some newfangled franchise that probably less than a million people have ever been involved in? There is no point in confusing customers by offering them competing products that fall in the same niche and an EVE-themed set would compete directly with the Star Wars-themed collector sets. There can be no serious doubt that the latter are a much better choice for Lego. Come back in 20 years when EVE is as widely known and evokes the same feelings of nostalgia as Star Wars, Batman or Back to the Future do today and Lego might listen. Only induces nostalgia if its dead, no, in 20 years eve will be the hippest, most mainstream game ever, and it will have NO HIGH/LOW, 50k WH systems, and the goons will have disbanded from EvE in favor of MLP Online. |

Ok, serious now, no trolling. Since lego drop the ball at rifter, is it possible to the maker release the project to us? I mean the list of piece he use and the step by step to put the Rifter together. I am not a good lego builder, but if he releases the scheme to build it, I can buy the pieces and ask for my son to build it. I really would like to make it, it a very nice ship and a very appealing ship to put at my work desk and kill my friend of envy

Megablock models are utter garbage. Seriously rubbish quality and everything seems to be custom moulded. That's not what Lego is about.
Also it's LEGO. Not LEGOS. There is no S on the end. LEGO.
It'd be nice to have the instructions to build the Lego Rifter though. I have ****-tonnes of the stuff and I'm pretty sure I'd have all the necessary blocks. Please do it oh mighty Czar! I have a specific comb for my beard. |
