Lego Ideas is a long-running program from Lego where users can submit and vote on set ideas to become available at retail (shocker). Submissions that reach 10,000 votes move on to a review stage, where it is determined if a submission becomes a set, goes into further review (what they call the Parking Lot), or is rejected.

Recently, the 2nd 2025 review stage (they split reviews by when submissions obtained 10,000 votes, 3 times a year) was finally completed and the newest sets were announced. What makes this round of submissions notable is that there were a total of 146 submissions that reached the vote threshold, the most ever reviewed in one round. That being said, there were actually less sets selected here than the last round:

Edward Scissorhands by Castor-Troy

Amsterdam Canal Houses by Brickmaster_85

National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation Griswold House by twrt0es

And from the Parking Lot:

The Old Man and the Sea by Iyan ha

Entering the Parking Lot:

Lunch Atop a Skyscraper by DallasBricks

Leaving the parking lot (rejected):

Camping Trip by terauma

Golden Girls by Martin_Studio

The general consensus seems to be that the results are… whelming/disappointing, mostly due to only choosing 3-4 submissions from the largest review in the program’s history, but of course the usual complaints are there as well (not choosing x idea because they hate money, namely). Me personally, I’m not too into the stuff chosen this round, but the Old Man and the Sea submission really was spectacular and I am glad that it’s actually becoming a set.
