The first 2017 LEGO Ideas Review qualifying period has ended, with 11 projects now in contention to hit shelves.
LEGO Ideas is a platform for LEGO fans to submit ideas for new sets. If a set reaches 10,000 supporters, it moves into a Review stage where it stands a chance to be turned into an actual LEGO set available at retail.
The projects to have reached the first LEGO Ideas Review stage of 2017 (by reaching 10,000 supporters between January 2017 and early May 2017) are:
The Bluesmobile
SEGA Classic Arcade Machines
Quest Builder
Red Arrows Hawk
Venetian Houses
Jeep Wrangler Rubicon
NBC’s The Office
Tron Legacy Life Cycle
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
Surf Rescue
Medieval Watermill
A review board of set designers and marketing representatives from LEGO will now evaluate each project before hand-picking some to become new LEGO sets.
