LEGO Ideas second 2020 review results at 14:00 GMT today

If Naruto doesn't make it through, I will be quite sad. I've been wanting Naruto sets ever since the anime first aired in the US.

Aside from that, I'm really hoping for the Exploratorium. Steampunk is far too neglected when it comes to official sets.

Oh my, I can't decide which one I want most! I'm dying for a LEGO GLaDOS, all the Pirate stuff is great! And freaking ATLA.

Seasons of time seems a good fit for Ideas. Personally I love Community, and it would be the first 'tv series' set I'd buy

My guesses are the house from Up, the safe, the calendar and Starry Night.

discworld Discworld DISCWORLD!

(...and while on the subject of niche, I'd order that sadly-no-hoper HQ set in less time than it takes to say "Morcar's mentor: Mentor")

I'd love to get the BMW, but it will never be made. And I think the safe is pretty clever and a nice display model; I wouldn't mind this neither. The rest I don't really care about, but I guess it will be some random set linked to some license once again...

Nothing here that I'm particularly passionate about, one way or the other; although, for me, the Temple of Hermit is very much the standout model of this review phase, so I'd not be disappointed if that one got a pass! ^^

We'll see, I guess. We'll see.

As always, all the models are very nice. However, for me
• The Mountain Windmill
• Portal 2
• Caribbean Clipper
• Starry Night
are the models I would want to purchase !

Quite a few good ideas, unfortunately I don't see the pirates ones or the medieval ones to be made because of the theme already has one pirates set and one medieval set. Bonsai seems highly unlikely to pass, although it is a good model.Personally, I would like the Brickwest Studios, house from Up,Night at the museum, roller coaster, Ratatouille, the dogs, and Starry night are the ones I would want to pass. The dogs would be a cool set, especially if it was a multibuild/customizable set with multiple different options

Not thrilled about these, too many licensed sets, modulars or sets too close to existing products.

The dogs are cute, though.

I mean, Animal Crossing is insanely popular and would be a good fit, but I feel if Animal Crossing Lego are happening then it's probably already in the works.

EDIT: Glados wouldn't make much sense, IMO. They already had Portal Ideas that went through review, and they've even had the portal license. The series hasn't had a new entry in years.

Modulars can be ruled out, as has already been mentioned. I don't see most of the pirates or castle sets making it as they'd be repetitive of Pirates of Barracuda Bay and the Medieval Blacksmith, plus could interfere with the 90th anniversary results. Bonsai is out for obvious reasons.

That seems like a lot more “set of a TV show” entries than normal. I guess the last few ones are encouraging people. Lot of licensed stuff too, always thought they’re probably a bit too niche unless they’re something overwhelmingly iconic like previous winners Sesame Street and Steamboat Willy. So as much as my heart goes out to the Discworld entry, I think my favourite has to be Starry Night. Always liked Van Gogh’s highly textured work and had never really considered how much of an excellent fit Lego was for it

- The mountain windmill would be great but unfortunately similar to the medieval blacksmith.
- Love the modular, but it's a modular on ideas.
- The sherrif's safe is likely imho, the combination lock would be fun to build.
- The seasons calendar would be fun to build, but unfortunately unlikely imho.
- Hopefully the van Gogh set will get through, the building techniques would be very interesting.
- The fortress might get through, if they go in the vein of pirates of barracuda bay and the medieval blacksmith.
- I would LOVE to see the temple of hermit, but it's similarity to Ninjago might lessen its chances.

It'll be interesting to see the results...

Hello everyone, I hope and wish that this time you do not make a fool of yourself, what a shame was the result in the previous election. I expect three big 4, one without a doubt from Naruto, another Ocean house, another The baquery and another to the taste of the designers. (I would add the Vincent Van Gogh painting )

Lego Doggo!

Easily would want Avatar the most, though i'm scared bc that awesome spongebob design was rejected last time... The temple and Vincent Van Gogh are the coolest otherwise imo

I'd love to see an imperial fortress, but that seems unlikely as a follow-up to Barracuda Bay (or is it a shoe-in to adequately provide a foil to Barracuda Bay?). I'd also be happy with the clipper, naturally.

Starry Night is what I had imagined the Art line was going to be (and still hold out hope it will become), I'd be very interested in a series of 'recreated' artwork across different eras, regions, and styles.

Alright, gimme the ship, the 737, the BMW M1, and the Starry Night.

As many other commenters have mentioned, there are quite a few sets that have zero or very low chances from the get go (bonsai, modulars, pirate stuff). I would also think that quite a few of the licensed IP sets have an equally low chance of success because their property is just too niche or unsuitable for LEGO (fall guys, portal, 31 minutos, rosebud etc). And with another few (market, temple, cars, roller coaster, ocean house etc) that are quite similar to existing sets and the low chance that implies, the field narrows further.

Based on this and past experience with Ideas, I think the likely candidates (in order) are: Community, Safe, House from Up.

And what I really, really would like to get (but don't see happening): Exploratorium, HeroQuest and of course Naruto.

I hope for the gold mine rollercoaster, Starry Night and Nook's Cranny. Please more Nintendo themed sets!

I really hope for it, it would be strange if they didn't make a lineup for one of the most known videogame series, who has now the best selling title on the Switch (New Horizons is at 33 million units sold, for 80 million Switch units sold)

Starry night is the best in my opinion even if maybe a little bit boring to assemble. It is quite an evolution of Lego ART. Perfect to display.
Doggo are so cute! much better of new dog and cat brickheads.
Naruto also is nice.
Modular are always interesting but I don't see any chance for them

Brickwest Studio.

I think the safe, ratatouille, up, starry night, ocean house, and brickwest studios are the most likely. Wouldn’t be surprised if we got 2-3 of those.

I'd guess they do the house from Up. It ticks all the boxes:
- licenced
- Disney
- cute
- could appeal to all ages
- oh and did I mention, DISNEY

As for my personal 2 cents, I like several of the projects, but as none of them would end up looking anything like the submission, I'm not as excited as I used to be.
Having said that, my love for anything Medieval and nice GWPs got the better of me and I did order the Blacksmith after all. It arrived today including the Year of the Ox and Flower and Chocolate GWPs. Having used a 20 Euro VIP point voucher helped as well. Plus, perhaps if I dig really deep into the box, I might be lucky enough to find a goat... ;-)

I could see them doing the Mountain Windmill or the rollercoaster, and maybe one of the two pirate-themed builds.

I don't see anything else happening.

Not so many that appeal to me in this bunch. Kind of hoping that Discworld makes it through.

Discworld would be so much fun to build!

"No more sitcoms please! More original ideas and non-licensed themes would be best. Fingers crossed."

I’d normally agree, but Community would be a day-one buy for me. And Friends was a bestseller. Community’s more of a cult classic than Friends, so it’d be a different kind of success, but it’d still be a solid choice from LEGO’s perspective (and mine).

I hadn't heard of Community until this project came up in Ideas, so I'm really not sure how it would do as a global release. I doubt that it's well known enough around the world to be made into an official set.

I actually think there's a good mix of Ideas here (which is what matters, the submitted model is only a suggestion and the potential is a lot of what matters). Some are very conventional (buildings, cars) and some not (Starry Night). Because there's so many I don't want to get my hopes up about any specific ones because nearly all of them won't pass.

HeroQuest please! Anybody?

I really think that something gone wrong with the Ideas...
However, I would be happy with Trabant with Calendar and Safe in the trunk.

I hope The Starty Night gets picked. Beautiful concept and execution. Amazing displaypiece.

As is usually the case with Ideas projects, there are some really nice MOC's in here, but not many that would actually make a good Lego set to mass produce...at least not without some significant changes.

I hope to revive the series castle or pirates, if there will be a set on a film license, also ok (they keep the value of such sets)
People working for Lego have never seen a Trabant with their own eyes, it will definitely not pass :(

Starry Night is a standout for me!
Portal set would be great as well.
I also like the Night at the Museum set, but mostly because I am too lazy to dig out my sand brown pieces and design a museum of my own for the dinosaur fossils Ideas set.

I'm interested to see what LEGO does with Avatar. It's guaranteed to sell like hot cakes so there's a high likelihood that they'll get the license, but there are two other approved projects with the exact same concept.

Maybe they'll approve this entry since it's the first. Or, there might be too many other entries from this round that they want to approve, so they save Avatar for the next one. Maybe, they'll give credit to all three designers and use each of their entries as influences on the final set.

...Or maybe none of them win. Who knows?

Too many projects, too many modulars, too many that, while nice, have no realistic chance of passing. I think the Trebant is ironically good and the BMW is beautiful, especially the livery version, but neither have any chance.

I like the rollercoaster, safe and the Avatar set. But we'll know soon enough.

Does the threshold need to be raised from 10k? 35 options is silly, and it's either that or release more Ideas sets by either doing more regular reviews, or passing multiple things from the same review

I’m not sure I understand the theory that Barracuda Bay precludes anything “Pirates” form being made again. After all, how many NASA-themed Ideas sets have been produced?

There's a high number of contenders this round. The safe, Starry Night, and calendar all seem likely, and some of the smaller buildings or Community definitely have a chance. It's gonna be interesting to see how many and which are chosen.

Go Imperials! The Pirates of the Barracuda Bay need a challenge!
Love the Bakery and Rollercoaster, too.

I'd buy the Medieval, Pixar or videogame Ideas

Medieval Market, Ocean House, and Exploratorium are my picks. We need a steampunk set, the Ocean House is beautiful, and we could always use more castle.

What I hope for: Seagull Bay. Fab Imperials fort.

Hope for but no chance; the Exploratorium. Mammoth, monolithic build but too big and a bit undefined

What I think: Schitt's Creek: adult themed, comedy, in a similar vein to Friends and Big Bang. Van Gogh; original idea.

Outside chance: Heroquest

No chance: all of the modular-style buildings/houses/temples

Too old to know what these are: Doggo, Fall Guys

anything as long as it's not another sitcom set

Thinking of past selections & the published criteria used, I'd reckon there are only a few ideas likely:
Exploratorium
Van Gogh
Temple of Hermit
Brickwest studios
Safe

All look like interesting, stand-alone sets that don't interfere with current offerings and have play & display value.

I mean, Animal Crossing and Lego is an incredible fit, but I can't help but feel if it is going to happen Lego and Nintendo are already in talks.

It seems ripe for some incredible sets. A villager house with Tom Nook, some villager parts, and a customizable house. Nook's Cranny with the twins. The airport with a plane. Redd's treasure ship. The Able Sisters. The Campsite. Town center and the museum, one as a direct to consumer set.

Then of course a collectible minifigure series and a few houses of other villagers that offer more furniture and customization options for your house. Maybe even a couple $10-12 sets that have a couple matching villagers and a set of themed furniture.

Run the theme over a year with two waves. It would be hugely successful.

I think Van Gogh is almost certain. Hoping for Avatar given the boom in its popularity this year, but unsure so we'll have to see on that one. Also hoping for the beautiful Ocean House, which would compliment the Old Fishing Store very well. I think Brickwest Studios has a small chance too. The only one I'm nearly 100% certain will pass though is Van Gogh.

I mean the Saturn V was insanely popular. It's the only Ideas set to get another production, isn't it? Additionally the second set, the Lunar Lander, was not an Ideas set, and the third one, the ISS, was an Ideas set but it was chosen entirely by user votes, whereas in this case it would have to be the team deciding specifically that they want to make another Pirates themed Ideas set.

I don't think Pirates is impossible, but it seems unlikely when they just launched a Pirates themed Ideas set and they have a vote currently running that could result in another Pirates set.

Ideas just seems to be a place for people to show off MOCs and get a bit of an ego boost.

OK - this isn't true for everything. But I think it's quite pertinent still.

Definitely agree with other commenters about let's focus on original ideas rather than other IPs.

My personal favourites are the Van Gogh and the Clipper.
I completely agree with the comments on modulars and castles. They never get built, which is a shame, They got near to it with the Fishermans Store, but its not the same, and there are so many good ones that get the 10k count.
Anyway, I think Portal 2 is a shoe in.
Please no more additional icenses, of film based sets. And what on earth is 31 Minutos all about!!??
I have a LOT of Ideas sets, so still looking forward to the announcement !

BTW, Bionicle top of the list on that fan vote. I just don't get it!!!!!!!!!!

Hope to see either Starry Night or the Clipper make it.

And I hope they continue to use the Ideas and Creator lines for Castle and Pirate themed sets. Mountain Windmill or Medieval Market would make a good companion to the Blacksmith. Either of the Imperials sets would make a good companion to Barracuda Bay.

wow lots of great new ideas on this round. geez 35! people have been busy.
Love a lot of these sets, but would love to see the plane built. Lego hasn't done a likeness of a Boeing, besides the really bad blocky one back in early Expert series.

My guess are always wrong so I'll just say that I'd like to see Lego have a go at the windmill and Wild West Studios. The rest are either too large, to IP dependant or too close to existing lego themes.
But I'm ready to be surprised.

EDIT: Starry Night. So not surprised.

I’d buy Seasons in Time, the roller coaster, Caribbean Clipper, Medieval Market and the Lighthouse.

Hero Quest! One of my old games my kids still like to play! To try and recreate this in Lego one day (as the original components are rather worn by now and replacements don't come cheap...) I've been buying Heroica game sets whenever I found a good deal on them but this seems rather more impressive! I do doubt this would be cheaper than just buying the game again though... maybe I should get started on that microscale Hero Quest :-)

Wow, Lego really stole quite a few of these ideas for themselves. The doggos, and bonsai from this wave and more in the next one with the coliseum and the police station.

In any case, my hope is for the Nook’s Cranny, Night at the Museum, Sheriff’s Safe, and Seasons in Time. I also wouldn’t mind the Ratatouille, Portal 2, or Brickwest Studios. So a decent selection in my opinion.

So Van Gogh won!? I thought they might have at least selected two... When they have 35 to chose from. That sucks to see so many fall to the cutting room floor... but this is where Bricklink comes in so you can buy the parts to the ones that didn't make it...

- Discworld, DiscWorld, DISCWORLD

- Starry Night
- Hero Quest

Without considering what is likely or not due to previous sets, I like the Clipper, the Seagull Bay (exactly to go with a previous set), the roller coaster and Starry Nights. But the one I'd really like to see being made is the Exploratorium - just because we never quite had anything like that - its huge - and the diaphragm opening mechanism is cool. The results should be out any minutes now.
