As he mentions in the article, LEGO does sell a kit already, set 42179. I find it unlikely they'll adopt his design when they already sell one of their own, even if his has improvements that he mentions.
Though it looks like it's not strictly against https://ideas.lego.com/guidelines , under "PLEASE ONLY SUGGEST NEW IDEAS. NO IDEAS TO “BRING BACK” OLD LEGO SETS." they say:
> Don’t submit product ideas requesting we re-release or “bring back” discontinued LEGO products or themes in their original form, and don’t submit product ideas that are “modifications,” “improvements,” or “expansion sets” to existing or past LEGO sets. If you’re submitting a product idea based on a discontinued LEGO theme or brand (for example Blacktron or Octan), it must be your own new, creative work.
simply because this design predates the official re-release... but given that the official one is from this year, it seems really unlikely they'd run with it this soon anyway.
wow thats cool. Lego should pay him lots of money for the plan and sella few kits of it.
