I am astounded. In less than 3 months, the LEGO and RuPaul's Drag Race communities have already taken this project to the halfway point.

THANK YOU x 5000 to those who have supported this project already and to those who have shared the project with their friends.

Reaching 5000 votes today has extended the RuPaul's Brick Race campaign by 182 days and means we're officially on the "home stretch."

So, what now? We'll need to muster up a further 5000 votes by 25/03/2019 in order to progress this concept to the official LEGO review stage.





The task seems immense but there are ways of breaking it down:

With 710 days remaining, the project needs to receive 7 votes per day to progress. That doesn't sound so scary, now does it? If everyone who has given their support already found just one friend to support the project, we could wrap this campaign up in days!

What you can do, right now, to support this campaign further:

If you haven't already, catch up with RuPaul's Brick race on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. There are 5K celebration posts there which you might share with your friends. If you are a member of an online LEGO or RuPaul community, consider telling them that you've supported this project and that they should too at ideas.lego.com/projects/160848 Convince just 1 friend that it's worth 2 minutes of their time to support this project!

Also:

While you're on the LEGO Ideas website, make sure you check out and support some of the other excellent designs that have been proposed. Our campaign doesn't lose anything by us all supporting other ideas as well. Some of my current favourites are Andrew Clarks "The Flintstones", this amazing micro-scale Hogwarts Castle and the Brick Project's Disneyland Big Thunder Mountain.

That's all for now. We're halfway through an exciting ride and I'm so grateful that you're all coming along on the adventure.

Best wishes,

Mark
