Maze Reviews
HispaBrick Magazine
“Altogether, our impressions of The Maze firmly lean towards the positive. It is certainly something completely different and a refreshing occasional departure from the more standardized theme sets. Easy to build, fun to play with and endlessly customizable, it is an... More attractive set for many a LEGO fan.”

“If you're one of the people that had a Labyrinth Marble Maze when you were a kid, then this is a must have, especially if you loved the classic game. If you didn't, then the concept may be lost, but it's still fun. It's a playable game from LEGO that in my opinion actually... More works, and isn't gimmicky, so I'm going to rate it higher because of it. Like I've said before though, you will most likely have a different opinion to me!”

“There are few LEGO sets that actually become something functional, and when you're done with this it's an actual game of skill that you can display and play with. Combined with the infinite possibilities of customizing to your favorite themes (somebody already beat me to a... More Star Wars version, doh!) and I think this is a really special set.”

“I think the designer did a great job in recreating a classic wooden game into a LEGO set. Ironically the LEGO brand has a history in wooden toys, which adds some value to this concept.”

About Ideas
The LEGO Ideas theme, which started in 2008 as an offshoot of the Japanese website Cuusoo, then formally known as LEGO Cuusoo, is based around a website which allows users to submit ideas for LEGO products to be turned into potential sets available commercially. If fellow users in the LEGO Ideas community up vote the project to 10000 then LEGO Group has a committee which votes on whether to build the set and release it. If the project is approved and cleared for production, it is developed and later released as an official set under the "LEGO Ideas" banner and the original designer receives 1% of the royalties and a number of free sets. Typically, a few projects are approved a year and most are rejected due to various restrictions.
