Small YELLOW reaches 10,000 supporters

With just five days remaining, the Small YELLOW project by Nathan Sawaya has reached 10,000 supporters and will be currently one of twelve projects to be a part of the First 2015 Review. Also, there are currently only three days left before a ton of projects are removed from LEGO Ideas as it's been nearly been one year since the expiry date for projects was introduced. So if you want to vote for a project, now would be the time to do so.

That Ferris wheel looks quite nice. What I find most interesting is the minifigs seem to be using Juniors torsos and faces. Though I don't understand why City/Creator/Juniors rarely introduce new hair colours. :/

It took Kate 4 variants to put on some clothes. I'm annoyed we can't get new printing or at least new colorings for book mini-dolls.

The new ferris wheel looks a lot better than the old one (minifig scale!!!!!).

I wonder if it'll have power functions.....

I agree, and I would assume it would be PF. Otherwise for whatever the inflated price is, you're just getting a sitting wheel, and I think even LEGO knows nobody will necessarily pay for that. :P
