LEGO Ideas Pixar Lamp confirmed!

Seems like a great choice! Unlike Twilight...

"Bionicle confirmed!"

...what?

Very excited about this one and the Botanical Gardens (not a Friends theme and mini doll fan, and I think that will fit in better with the Modular’s). Not sure about Disney Magic, as Mickey’s mouth looks a bit odd to me in photos so far…

but what if a lamp had feelings

It looks good though."

20 eur is enough...

Really, really excited about this one!!

I guess I will wait and see how it looks when it gets released. I may or may not buy it. Depends on the end price methinks. LEGO is a luxury these days.

I like it and will buy it, but for me a static model struggles to convey the fun, cheeky personality of Luxor. Without the movement, lighting and sounds of the animation it just loses something, for me anyway.

Is it perfect? It's a good model, but the fact that none of the joints have any movement probably won't fly for the final set. It'll also need some kind of modifications on the base for balance, I think if it was built IRL and not digitally it wouldn't be able to stand like that.

I wonder what changes will the proposal be subjected by both LEGO and Disney.

It would be great if the light part actually worked!

I mean did anyone see the Disney+ dropped the Bricktoons today which is a mashup of Lego and Pixar films? And what is featured on the front of each one but Luxo the lamp jumping on the I in Pixar and smashing the bricks. Nice day to also approve this!

This is cute but not something I'd buy. Since I'm trying to divorce myself from almost all things Disney it's an easy pass for me. Fully expect the Disney tax to double the price of what this set should realistically cost.

Took them a while, but cool! Don't change too much and keep the price reasonable and this will be a sure buy!

I bet it's 60 or 70"

They'll try to make it life-sized and throw in a few Pixar Minifigures and make it $100+

Just kidding, I hope . . . "

If it’s minifigs from Brave, Onward, and Elemental, I’m cool with that.

That's cool, but I'm not sure how recognisable it will be on a shelf to other people.

""I would guess this set will be released in late 2024"

??? It's pretty much late 2024 now!"

Sorry, I should be accustomed to it being 2024 by some time in November!"

You had me doubting what year it was.

Yessssssss, just yessssss, so much history and emotion in that simple lamp by now ... just make it big enough to have my Wall-E look up at it :)

"curious what they gonna do to make the base of the lamp heavy, or I guess cheat by inserting coins or some other heavy objects into the base"

According to Bricklink weight bricks (73090b) were being produced as recently as 2021, so those could be an option.

"C'mon people, where are all the "it's cheaper to buy a real lamp" comments?

Ahem. Really pleased this got approved and will definitely be getting one."

If it's just any lamp sure, but on a glance a real Luxo lamp starts around a price of $200, so this should come in somewhat cheaper. Granted, that would be a functional and high quality lamp light which you could use for many years, but still. Though models not from that specific brand are of course much cheaper.

I can hear the sound of Luxo hopping along then jumping on the I in Pixar.

But other than that no idea who'd want this. Indeed I'd guess more people would want it is a lego table lamp then anything to do with Pixar. (it also doesnt work so its still pretty silly as a lifesize object idea as well)

As someone who's been a huge Pixar fan since the first Toy Story (which was actually the first movie I saw in the theater), I am definitely getting this, unless the designers really screw it up.

""A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one."

I thought these usually get confirmed in the following reviews? This seems kind of random but I'm not complaining, Ideas needed a (hopefully) cheaper and simple set like this."

That's for regular Lego sets; Ideas works differently.

Yawn, another boring licensed Ideas set.

"But other than that no idea who'd want this."

_I_ want this! I’ve seen every Pixar feature film (including the three pandemic films) on the big screen. I own a physical copy of every film (except Inside Out 2…for now), plus all three short film collections. I’ve built 6-wide Pizza Planet trucks from Toy Story 1 & 2, as well as a Tiny Turbos version, and Todd was the first of seven Cars characters I’ve built. Luxo Jr. and the yellow ball? I’ll buy a second copy to keep sealed.

@TheOtherMike:
Even Star Wars Just Star Wars wasn’t the first film I remember watching in the theater. And ironically, Toy Story is far from the first Pixar film I’ve seen in the theater. My first was A Bug’s Life, but after they added the “outtakes” during the end credits, because Toy Story was already out on home video before I heard of it. So the first time I watched it on the big screen was a sneak preview marathon of Toy Story 1-4 the day before TS4 officially released. And then I saw Onward on opening day. And then Disney very nearly screwed it up by sending the next three straight to streaming. I did manage to catch all of those during their token release windows the first three months of this year, so I guess I can stop boycotting Disney Studios films.

@Ridgeheart: Wreck-it Ralph wasn't Pixar, it was Disney. Which isn't to say that I wouldn't love a Wreck-it Ralph set. There was one on Lego Ideas a while back, I don't know how many votes it ended up with.

Congrats to the winners, but still no Mystery Shack set? It's a Disney property, they already have a license. And Mystery Shack sets have been in the finals for years now, so what's stopping them?

I was purely judging it by its aesthetics, not by its build. The base indeed looks like it won't be able to support the weight, but it looks really close to the source material.

That much is easy. Just build it a big, black base that uses as many parts as the lamp!

Disney licensing is VERY complex. To my knowledge, any time one of their songs is played, the artist has to be paid, and they're tough to work with. I thought they'd be mad when I mixed Marvel and Toy Story to promote Disney Infinity 2.0, years ago. There were nervous glances in the room...

Lego Ideas has really churned out some duds lately.
On the plus side, money saved.

While I agree with your first sentence (Twilight? Really?), I heartily disagree with you that this is one of them.

And yet, Hirsch has gone on record to state that to his dismay, Gravity Falls is wholly the property of Disney, for all intents and executive meddling.

I would do terrible things to some very fine people for a Gravity Falls-set."

Same @Ridgeheart , same

"I love lamp!

Again, I would like to reiterate, I am weird, not…whatever that other thing is.
