Back in March, the LEGO Ideas team ran a contest titled ‘If We Could Turn Back Time’. By May, the LEGO Ideas team hand-picked five submissions from all the entries, and opened it up for LEGO fans to pick their favorites, and a couple of days ago, they announced the winners! Below are the details.
It’s time for a hefty dose of nostalgia as we announce the winners from our epic 80s challenge! Earlier in the year we launched our 80s-themed challenge ‘If We Could Turn Back Time’ and were blown away by all the amazing 292 submissions! There was everything you could possibly imagine, from Bob Ross and the Blues Brothers to Inspector Gadget and Garfield. We were spoilt for choice with a wide selection of 80s characters, movies, moments, and memorabilia! In fact, the nostalgia was so strong the mullet finally came back into fashion! We then asked you all to cast your votes for your favorite designs, in fact, the lineup was so impressive we decided to run two rounds of voting so we could have two winners! So, without further ado here are the models that will be made into LEGO Ideas sets!
The first winning model is The Goonies (1985) by LEGO fan Delusion Brick. Capturing all those on-screen moments from booby traps to the legendary ship of One-Eyed Willy. This model depicts the entire ‘Goonies’ adventure in one well-thought-out model.
The second winning model is a brick-built version of Gizmo from Gremlins as created by LEGO fan terauma.
These submissions will join the other products the LEGO Ideas team has in development. And in the meantime, you can check out the currently available sets originally designed by LEGO fans at the LEGO Ideas section of the Online LEGO Shop.
What do you think? How do you like the two winning models? Are you planning to get either of them when they become available? Feel free to share your thoughts and discuss in the comment section below!

Excited for the ship!
I’m looking forward to the Goonies set. I don’t understand how it was selected as it wasn’t one of the choices, but hay, I’m happy. 😊
I believe there was some controversy about that.
