Lego, has it right. Instead of trying to guess what kits its customers want, they’re allowing them to pitch their own projects and if they get enough support the kits are brought in front of a review board for final consideration. One such project is a Lego 1969 Chevrolet Corvette ($TBA). The detail in this kit is amazing. From the working doors, to the interior cockpit and engine compartment. In order for a kit to make it to the review board a total of 10,000 supporters are required. This project currently has 3549 supporters with 344 days left.
