This week we’re taking a look at the 35 (36 at time of recording but Never Ending story has since been removed) submissions that made it into the next Lego Ideas review round.

Mr Brickbods puts on his porn announcer voice … "let's begin …"
Thankfully there are fewer this round than the last …
I6. The Travel Suitcase …
would imagine that there would be a ton of Rebrickable instructions for replacement scenes for inside the suitcase … but I don't know how sturdy this would be
10. The Wright Flyer … I could see this one being selected, as it was the first real airplane … and the've done other old planes before
11. Classic Thunderbirds …would they make an ideas set in microscale? Regardless, shouldn't they do all of the Thunderbirds?
12. I could see them making the JWST as LEGO likes making real-world space vehicles … and the others have retired or are about to
13. Hasn't lego already made this for Ninjago? or Monkie Kid? This one is nice, but the rock work would end up more like the Lighthouse than this MOC.
14. Cypher Machine … I could see this one being made … more sturdy than the globe, and it supposedly is functional … but as Carrie said, who would want this?
15. Sewer Heroes … I like this one … even if it is a bit gross … it is really well done and kinda funny … but i'm not sure that LEGO would go for it
16; London Underground … This one is nice, but suffers from the same issue as the last one (lol > typed this right before Ian said the same thing) … the trains have too many wheels tho. That's not a tube train (the short round ones) … but a normal underground train which has straighter sides
17. The Architect's House … This one is well done … and would be really nice if LEGO made it exactly like this, but they won't
18. Community is a TV show … and based on the success of the other sitcom sets, I could see this one being made
Why did 19 get booted off of the list? "The Neverending Story" (film) was released in 1984
First Nations People, Indigenous People are the terms that we use if you are a decent person…. I don't think there is enough interest in this one
21 … lol … everyone thinks the same thing about this being "the Ewok Village" … but it's still a cool idea for a city. Maybe LEGO could take this and make it less Ewok Village — or maybe this will get through because they've already done most of the work for the Ewok Village
JAWS was released in 1975 … it was rated PG at the time
23. Modular Arcade is nice but LEGO Ideas doesn't do modulars.
24. House — they are doing the A Fram cottage so this one won't happen
Siamese Cat, Carrie
26. Taylor Swift fans would love this … and it only makes sense to Taylor Swift fans
27. Jack Skellington's house is amazing, and it was really built out of lego, unlike most things here which are renders …. it's definitely minifig scale
I believe that it is the best project, not the first one submitted
the clock tower is nice … it is about a 5 floor building so taller than any modular released so far
29 … that's like the Bricklink set so this won't be selected
Wallace & Gromit would be excellent … but the house is a boring thing to center the set on … there are much better scenes for sets than this house
34. is an Italian film I think
35. GOAT GOAT GOAT GOAT … Willow (TV Show) was just released so it is timely, and it's a Disney property so …
35. This is like the Golf set that failed Lego IDEAS and Target Lego Ideas … we'll probably see it for BrickLink as well … the dogs are nice, but meh…
this isn't my favorite bunch … community was a hugely successful show here in North America on NBC … which is where Friends and Seinfeld came from … I think my favorite is the Zoo, or the Clocktower Park as they can go in a city … not sure which lego will pick … maybe the encoder? or maybe the zoo as they just need to alter the existing Ewok Village set
How can anyone resist playing with LEGO when it’s in front of you?😜
Thunderbird 6 was a yellow Tiger Moth plane in the film if the same name I believe🥸
13 is a beaut… but it looks like the new Monkie Kid set
I still think the Sewer Heroes would be better being changed up to be a Ghostbusters 2 set, where our heroes went into a sewer to find a river of pink slime! Much more appealing!
The underground is a nice idea… but let’s be honest-it’s unrealistic there being a train there, what with all the strikes and breakdowns🤪
I do like 17, it’s very Bauhaus style…. and your analysis of Grand Designs had me howling!!🤣 Sooo accurate! After this stream, I’ll be watching Kevin McCloud patronise some dafties for a bit😜
NeverEnding story and Falcor! Poor Artax the horse😭😭 and yes; the baddie is still scary in it😳😱
20… Oh! Whip Crack Away, Whip Crack Awaaaay!! BodCast the Musical is a real thing! Hooray!!
I’m skirting over the comments on the shaved puddy tat and as for the comments on the rainbow house.. 😮🤣
31, the Japanese castle is great!
I hope they’d do Wallace & Gromit – I can see it being improved with custom head pieces.
Otherwise, maybe the case?
Yep Carrie, you know me too well… the Jaws set is from Diving Faces and is a second time it was submitted, which speaks volumes… Non Lego fans of Jaws love merch and would buy this…this would go down a treat with Ideas fans, Movie blockbuster fans and Jaws fans alike… its missing… Ghostbusters, Jurassic Park, Harry Potter, Indiana Jones… I could go on, its missing and needs to be made…
PS – Jaws had much bloodier Scenes that was cut from the final movie…;)
The IDEAS thing needs to stop… Or it will need a lot of rules. Like dimensions, IP yes or no, 1 entree per person, more votes needed, no "pricemoney" or anything like that. No renders, No non-existing pieces usage, … And Lego needs to say no sooner to some builders
