LEGO Ideas Review Results Announcement

by Thita (admin) on July 13, 2022

Over the past months, the LEGO Ideas review board evaluated 36 impressive product ideas that reached 10,000 supporters between early September 2021 and early January 2022. And yesterday, LEGO Ideas Design Lead Jordan Scott and LEGO Ideas Engagement Manager Hasan Jensen revealed which of the reviewed projects will become the next official LEGO set. Below are the details.

The selected project is Hocus Pocus – The Sanderson Sisters’ Cottage by Belgian fan designer Amber Veyt (a.k.a. TheAmbrinator). Her original submission in 2020 was not approved, but she persevered and submitted an updated design. Amber’s deep passion for the much-loved Hocus Pocus movie shows in her design, which encapsulates all the little details and characters that really wowed the review board. The project hits a sweet spot for Halloween movies for families, with iconic characters and a location that the LEGO Ideas team really wanted to recreate using LEGO bricks. If you’d like to learn more about Amber then make sure to check out her 10K Club Interview.

The LEGO Ideas team is still working out the final product design, pricing, and availability for this set. They’ll share more closer to the launch date, and the set will also be listed at the LEGO Ideas section of the Online LEGO Shop.

The next batch of LEGO Ideas projects is already in review. 39 projects have earned their spot in the review by reaching 10,000 supporters between early January 2022 and early May 2022. The results of the review will be shared later in the fall.

As it stands, there are currently 5 fan creations that are in development and will launch in the future. Besides Hocus Pocus – The Sanderson Sisters’ Cottage by TheAmbrinator, this includes the A-Frame Cabin by Norton74, BTS “Dynamite” by JBBrickFanatic, The Office by Lego The Office, and the Motorized Lighthouse by Roses Must Build. Keep an eye out for future announcements about their release date.

Today, the LEGO Group announced its latest vintage car set, the iconic #10304 LEGO Chevrolet Camaro Z28. The new set is a detailed recreation of one of the slickest muscle cars of all time, beloved by automotive enthusiasts from when it launched in the late 60s through to today.

The new LEGO set is brilliantly detailed with functional elements including a working steering wheel, an intensely detailed engine, and opening and closing doors. Allowing builders to customize the car to their desired design, the vehicle comes in gloss black with the iconic racing stripes available in red, white, or gray. You can also choose to build it as a hard top or a convertible, plus choose classic or hideaway headlights to complete the look. The vehicle measures over 3.5 in. (10 cm) high, 14 in. (36 cm) long, and 5.5 in. (14 cm) wide, and comes with 1,458 pieces.

Chevrolet Camaro Product Marketing Manager Harlan Charles said, “The 1969 Camaro Z28 has been turning heads on and off the roads for decades, which is why we are so proud to see it come to life in a brand-new way via LEGO bricks. Anyone who loves the iconic design of the 1969 Camaro Z28 now has the thrill of building this set and displaying it in their home.”

LEGO Designer Sven Franic said, “With its classic lines and sleek design, the 1969 Camaro Z28 is unrivalled in its elegance – which is why it was such a wonderful inspiration for this LEGO design. By building this set, you can envision yourself at the wheel, and all but feel the rumble of the engine taking you down an open road.”

The #10304 LEGO Chevrolet Camaro Z28 is available going to be available from August 1st at official LEGO stores and the Online LEGO Shop.
