Lego reveals its second Lego Ideas 2024 review
35 Lego sets are in the running to become real.
Lego has shared the Lego Ideas sets that have made it to review, the second of 2024’s reviews, meaning that they’re in the running to become real sets.
Lego Ideas allows Lego builders to submit ideas for Lego sets and, if they hit 10,000 supporters they’re submitted to Lego for review. Some, though typically not many, end up becoming real Lego sets you can buy.
Take the massive (and pricey) Lego Dungeons & Dragons: Red Dragon’s Tale set, for example. That set began life as a fan idea and now it’s sitting on store shelves. This Nightmare Before Christmas set is another such fan-spawned set and it’s almost as awesome.
So what’s in the running this year? There are 35 sets in total, too many for us to list here, but you can find the full details here. However, we’ve picked out a few favourites that we hope become a reality.
Lego Claw Machine by 2A2A
This cool looking set is a Claw Machine/UFO Catcher, which lets you fish for Lego figures. Really – it actually works, meaning you can fill it with your favourite minifigs and try your luck and hoisting them out. It could also be a cool way to display those minifigs you don’t otherwise have the space for.
Lego Market Village by J.K. Brick
This is an adorable-looking medieval market village, complete with bridge, flower garden, tower and more. Not only is it eye-catching, it’s actually colourful, versus many movie depictions of medieval towns where they’re grimy and grey.
Tetris Solid by VictorVey3000
After Lego Pac-Man, here comes Lego Tetris. But it’s not just for display, this set’s creator has worked out a set of rules to let you actually play the game, dubbing it Tetris Solid. There’s even a leaderboard for players to challenge each other. And, not forgetting the game’s roots, there’s even a tiny model of Tetris creator Alexey Pajitnov.
So how can you help these sets become a reality? You can’t, unfortunately. There are plenty of Lego Ideas sets that you can vote on, but this is now in Lego’s hands. It’s up to them which of the 35, if any, get made. So if you’ve got a favourite set, now’s the time to pray to the great gods of Lego.
We’ll find out the results of this review likely in the first quarter of 2025.
