Over the past months, the LEGO Ideas review board evaluated 48 qualifying product ideas, all of which demonstrated a huge array of creativity and innovation. All these designs achieved the landmark ‘10k’ status between early Jan 2024 and early May 2024. Yesterday, the LEGO Ideas team announced that they have selected one of these projects to become an official LEGO Ideas set.

The chosen project is the LEGO Mineral Displays by ddf72. It’s interesting to note that this is the second time this project made it to 10k votes on LEGO Ideas, however, the first time around it wasn’t selected to become an official LEGO set. This second time, the designer made some changes to make sure that all the minerals could be built from currently available parts, and a display case was also added.

The collection is composed of 6 pieces: Rhodochrosite, Amethyst Geode, Black Tourmaline with Aquamarine, Orange Quartz, Emerald, and Pyrite. You can find more details and pictures of this project at this LEGO Ideas page, and you can see the full list of projects in this round at this LEGO Ideas page. And if you want to check out the currently available sets originally designed by LEGO fans, visit the LEGO Ideas section of the Online LEGO Shop.

Today, the LEGO Group announced the launch of a new playset based on the recently released video game, LEGO Horizon Adventures. This 768-piece set allows LEGO fans to recreate the iconic adventures of Aloy and her loyal ally Varl in physical brick form.

The #77037 LEGO Horizon Adventures Aloy & Varl vs. Shell-Walker & Sawtooth sees the duo, armed with their trusty bow and spear capable of producing fire, shock, or chill attacks, do battle in jungle surroundings against two fully jointed machines, Shell-Walker and Sawtooth. The Shell-Walker has posable legs and arms, opening claws, a detachable cargo pod, and an energy shield, while the fully articulated Sawtooth has opening jaws, a swiveling torso, and a posable neck, head, and legs.

The set’s release follows the launch of LEGO Horizon Adventures on November 14th. Co-developed by Guerrilla and Studio Gobo and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, LEGO Horizon Adventures is a playful and light-hearted story inspired by the events of the first chapter in the Horizon series.

In the game, players can join machine hunter Aloy as she leads a colorful crew of heroes through the lush wilderness on a quest to save the world and learn the secrets of her past, experiencing thrilling online and couch co-op action with friends and family along the way.

The game also offers plenty of brick-based fun to be had too. Players will come face-to-face with the game’s awe-inspiring machines – all faithfully recreated in digital LEGO brick form. And if that wasn’t enough, there are plenty of customization options for players to explore, including unique LEGO buildings, ornaments, and outfits.

“We’re delighted to bring one of gaming’s most beloved franchises to life in both physical and digital LEGO brick form,” said Kate Bryant, Product Lead, Branded Games at the LEGO Group. “We hope this latest set continues to fulfill our commitment to seamless play and empowers our fans to expand on their favorite games in their own, unique way.”

“LEGO Horizon Adventures has brought Aloy and the acclaimed Horizon universe to a new audience and we’ve been very pleased with the title’s launch,” said Roy Postma, Art Director, Guerrilla. “This new set adds to that momentum by enabling players to build on the excitement of the adventures they experience in the game in true LEGO fashion.”

LEGO Horizon Adventures is available to play now across PC, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch. The #77037 LEGO Horizon Adventures Aloy & Varl vs. Shell-Walker & Sawtooth set is going to be available from March 1st, 2025, but you can already pre-order it at the Online LEGO Shop. Prices are as follows: €44.99 / $44.99 / £39.99. For more information, visit the Online LEGO Shop.
