Ivy's Bazaar MOC WIP

Ivy's Bazaar

The premise behind my village is that it's a market where one can stock up on supplies, or fetch a fair price on "acquired" treasures. The market here exists in various shades of grey.

As a literal "underground" market, Ivy's Bazaar falls within the darker shades.

Here's my 1st pass WIP for the exterior of the market; as well as the "hidden entrance".

Eventually, there will be a flat(ish) area on top. I was initially considering it as a spot for the Inn / Painter's workshop from the Medieval Village set - But I may leave it open for something else.

2nd pass will include a staircase on the wall perpendicular to the entrance; as well as incorporating the interior build.

Figured I'd post some pics along the way. Not opposed to thoughts on this 1st pass...

How Prevalent Is Idea Theft?

Call me paranoid, but I have an idea that I may want to submit for Lego Ideas; but I may also want feedback from other builders along the way.

Do people steal the ideas of others?

I mean, as Lego enthusiasts, we're big kids still playing with toys as a hobby... I'm inclined to believe that there's nothing nefarious going on.

However, working as a professional artist; I've heard numerous tales of job applicants padding out their portfolios with the works of others... It happens.

Has it been known to happen with Lego Idea submissions? If so, is there a way to guard against it?

Lucky Find!

I was at a local “Once Upon a Child” selling some of my daughters’ old toys.
Just before the end of the transaction, I looked up to see this on the shelf behind the guy at the register.

Me: “Hey, can I buy that Lego set before I go”?
Him: “Sure”!

There’s no price tag on it, so he asks his coworkers what they think it ought to go for. They agree on $6.50

Me: “Sold”!

Right place. Right time.
