LEGO Ideas Latest Review Period Results

Yesterday, LEGO Ideas Engagement Manager, Hasan Jensen, and LEGO Ideas Design Manager, Samuel Johnson, announced the results of the third 2019 review results, after spending the past four months evaluating the twelve awesome product ideas that reached 10,000 supporters between early September 2019 and early January 2020. Below are the results with not one, not two but three approved projects!

LEGO Ideas Home Alone – McCallister’s House: The 1990 Christmas comedy film, Home Alone, is often regarded as one of the best Christmas films ever made, and it was the highest-grossing live-action comedy for over 20 years. The film follows an eight-year-old boy (Macaulay Culkin), who must defend his home from two burglars (Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern) after his family mistakenly leaves him behind on their Christmas vacation. LEGO fan Alex Storozhuk (a.k.a. adwind) recreated the McCallister house with tons of movie-accurate details, and also included the three main characters in minifig-form. If you’d like to learn more about Alex, make sure to check out his LEGO Ideas 10K Club Interview.

LEGO Ideas Typewriter: This project was created by Steve Guinness, who was the winner of the British version of LEGO Masters back in 2017. He originally developed the idea while he was on the TV show, and since then continued to refine the design. If you’d like to learn more about Steve, make sure to check out his LEGO Ideas 10K Club Interview.

LEGO Ideas Seinfeld 30th Anniversary: This project was also created by someone well-known in the LEGO fan community. Brent Waller already has a successful LEGO Ideas project; the #21108 LEGO Ideas Ghostbusters Ecto-1, which was released back in 2014. Brent’s current project celebrates the 30th anniversary of the beloved classic 1990s comedy sitcom with an accurate recreation of Jerry’s Upper West Side Manhattan apartment. If you’d like to learn more about Brent, make sure to check out his LEGO Ideas 10K Club Interview.

The LEGO Ideas team is still working out the final product design, pricing, and availability for all these sets, and they will share more at the LEGO Ideas blog when they get closer to launch. In addition, the next batch of LEGO Ideas projects is already in review. This review period is particularly interesting as a whopping twenty-six product ideas reached 10,000 supporters between early January 2020 and early May 2020. Results of this review period will be shared sometime in the fall.

While we are waiting for all the new projects to be made into official LEGO sets, you can also check out the current selection of LEGO Ideas sets that were originally designed and submitted by LEGO fans at the LEGO Ideas section of the Online LEGO Shop.

What do you think? How do you like the newly approved projects? Are you excited for them, or were you hoping for a different result? Feel free to share your thoughts and discuss in the comment section below!

    Sigh… a boring building, yet another boring sitcom set, and the typewriter doesn’t interest me either. Maybe I’m getting jaded, but none of these are very creative ideas.

  • j.j. June 24, 2020, 12:07 PM

    I’m not impressed by these either. I really wanted Ratatouille. At least that would have gives us a nice French kithcen.

    The typewriter is mildly interesting. The other two I will have to wait and see what the designers change it. they could be good sources of parts and furniture pieces.

    I’m disappointed in the selection in this round. I knjow Bionicle fans are unhappy and the three chosen projects are not too exciting.

  • The Other Mark June 24, 2020, 6:24 PM

    The typewriter seems interesting. I think my kids will like it. They have been curious about old tech like that. The Home Alone set makes a nice dollhouse, but it’s a little boring.

    Hmm, I would have guessed the most likely sets would be Seinfeld 30th Anniversary, Zelda: BOTW Stables (although for a Zelda set, it feels surprisingly very little Zelda-like), Winter Chalet and Clockwork Aquarium. My fifth contender would be Planet Express Delivery Ship, with the main problem being the difficulties to render the Futurama characters as minifigs without creating new head molds… Apparently, I’m not particularly good at these guessing games…

    And even though I’m an old Seinfeld fan, and that depiction of Jerry’s apartment is pretty spot-on, it doesn’t attract me particularly much.

    (Then, the only Ideas set I’ve bought so far is the relatively affordable 21109 Exo Suit, anyway…)

    • Håkan June 24, 2020, 8:17 PM

      To be honest, I haven’t actually played Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, though…

    • Thita (admin) June 24, 2020, 9:18 PM

      I was voting for Ratatouille, so I didn’t get my wish either. I love the Exo-Suit! I have three, but only built one of them yet. Now, you just reminded me that I should build the other too also. 😀

  • Legostuff14 June 24, 2020, 9:16 PM

    Wasn’t there supposed to be a Sesame Street set coming out this year or was that scrubbed from the ideas list.

  • Legostuff14 June 24, 2020, 11:06 PM

    That’s good to know. I’ll be looking forward to it just like when anything else comes .🤔

  • Random AFOL June 25, 2020, 2:03 PM

    At least we will get more uniquely printed minifigs. But I’m getting tired of these sitcom sets.

  • Legostuff14 June 25, 2020, 9:55 PM

    Does anybody know if the Mandalorian razor crest is still scheduled to come out September 1st? On the Lego web site it’s still available to pre-order and it does say coming out September 1st , I’m assuming that hasn’t changed.

    • Thita (admin) June 25, 2020, 10:46 PM

      As far as I know, they are going to be released on schedule. 🙂
