No city scene or village square is complete without the perfect street food stall or flower stand, celebrating the charm of everyday city life. The LEGO Ideas City Life Creations – Design a Vendor Cart challenge invites you to design a versatile street cart or vendor stand fit for any LEGO City or LEGO Modular Building neighborhood.
And as if that’s not enough to get your creative juices flowing, the grand prize selection for this challenge will be made into an official LEGO Ideas gift-with-purchase set! Need more inspiration? Read on for top tips and handy hints!
Capture the authentic vendor vibe with your creative build. Think coffee carts, flower stands, food stalls – or any unique cultural and specialty experiences, but no motorized vehicles! These standalone beauties should be display-worthy, while also delivering fun features, accessories, and minifigure interactivity. Your creation should fit seamlessly into LEGO City and LEGO Modular Building neighborhoods, adding character to cozy corners and lively plazas. But don’t forget: these head-turning builds must offer both adult display appeal and kid-friendly playability.
Every street vendor starts out small, and your creation should be no different. Your build must use only between 150 and 200 elements. It should be small but perfectly formed! You may also add a maximum of 2 minifigures to your build. Envision your ideal street vendor in brick form, using physical or digital LEGO pieces, and ensuring your creation does not include any logos or third-party intellectual property. Your build must not be a motorized vehicle (meaning no trucks, vans, mopeds, or scooters).
If you would like to participate in this contest, submit your build by December 10th at 6:00 AM EST. Experts will review and select up to 15 builds to move to the fan vote on December 22nd. During the fan vote phase, LEGO Ideas members can vote 1 time for their favorite build between December 22nd, 2025, and January 6th, 2026. The votes will decide the grand prize selection of the challenge. The winners will receive the prizes as listed below. Results will be posted on LEGO Ideas no later than January 15th, 2026. The winners are contacted via the email linked to their LEGO ID.
The grand prize selection for the fan vote will see their build turned into a LEGO gift-with-purchase set, and they’ll also receive: 10 complimentary copies of their LEGO Ideas set, credit, a bio as the LEGO Ideas fan designer in the set materials, and a copy of the #10350 LEGO Icons Tudor Corner Modular Building. The remaining builds selected to participate in the fan vote will receive the following: #60469 LEGO City Central Train Station, #10362 LEGO Icons French Café, #60404 LEGO City Burger Truck, #60452 LEGO City Donut Truck.
