Summary
Lego Ideas is a program that lets anyone with an idea for a newLegoset try and get their concept in front of those who decide what might be turned into toy bricks next. The next review period for those sets will begin in January 2025, anda fanmade concept for aPlayStation 2made of Legohas received enough support just in time to be officially considered by the Lego Review Board.
For a set submitted through Lego Ideas to be considered for mass creation and distribution,it must first receive 10,000 supporters. That’s why simply submitting an idea for something you think would make a cool Lego set isn’t enough. You need to create models demonstrating how it will look and detail how exactly Lego might make the set a reality. Sure, a PS2 made of Lego would be cool, but it needed someone with the vision on how to potentially make it happen to receive enough support to officially get Lego’s attention.
