Title: Jeopardy! LEGO set?
Post by: JayDLewis on February 25, 2015, 09:13:19 PM: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/93621

Not yet (or necessarily ever).

LEGO has been doing this thing where regular people can submit idea for future LEGO sets. If it gains enough traction, they consider it, (maybe) approve it then sell it. I believe a Ghostbusters set and BttF Delorean came from this site.

I can't see this getting beyond the suggestion stage. (Although it is a "staff pick" and featured in the "slide header.")

I know there was at least one guy who uploaded his LEGO game show episodes.

Pretty cool mock-up nonetheless...props for recreating an "old school" set. :-) Reminds me of when I'd use the Legos at the after-school program to build a few sets.

/As you might imagine, it got a couple of funny looks

Hold the phone...there's a Lego Abe Lincoln?

I was wondering exactly what you meant by that; but holy cow, you're right. They've arrived at the Marketplace of LEGOland already in costume.

(I wonder if minifigs would be less expensive than meeples.)

EDIT: No, I'm wrong, set succeeds; there are two in the back row. :)

YMMV, but I'd rather have this shot than a shot of the doors that show no one.
