Many children dream of working as LEGO set designers, a role akin to being an astronaut or a candy taster. While these are indeed real jobs, they are not common enough for every child to pursue. However, if you still hold onto the dream of designing your own LEGO set, there is hope.
LEGO established the “LEGO Ideas” program in 2008, allowing enthusiasts to propose sets that, with enough support, can become actual LEGO products. The creators receive a 1% royalty for their idea, if selected.
4. LEGO Cheetah in Urban Setting
5. Elizabeth Tower LEGO Replica with Clock Mechanism
6. Terry Pratchett’s Discworld LEGO Model
Since its inception, only 56 sets have been chosen through the LEGO Ideas program. To qualify, a set must garner 10,000 votes within two years, with additional requirements such as 100 votes within the first sixty days. Not all projects make the cut due to copyright issues or production constraints.
7. Mysterious LEGO Staircases
8. Collection of LEGO Pokémon
9. Three-Dimensional LEGO Model of ‘Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji’
Creativity alone may not secure a place for a project, as LEGO aims to select designs that are both marketable and feasible for production. Some designs have been rejected for being too costly or facing copyright challenges.
