7 Lego Projects You Can Help Make a Reality

[ad_1]

There’s something about a Lego set that brings out the tinkerer in everyone, no matter their age. The natural way that the bricks click together and start forming structures generates ideas. For some, that’s Lego Ideas, capitalized.

Lego Ideas(Opens in a new window) is a crowdsourcing site where Lego enthusiasts can post their set suggestions and others can vote on them. Sets that have 10,000 supporters get an official review by Lego and a board chooses which ones the company will produce.

The latest Lego Ideas set to become a reality is Voltron(Opens in a new window). It stands over a foot high and all five lions that comprise this mech are separately posable. At over 2,000 pieces, it’s sure to keep you busy for weeks. But Voltron doesn’t ship until next month so if you’ve got some spare time on your hands, go to the Lego Ideas site and vote on some of these other sets.

1. Aggretsuko

Aggretsuko

At about 15 minutes each, Aggretsuko episodes go by fast on Netflix(Opens in a new window). But that’s about all the time you need to change Retsuko’s mood each day with this set(Opens in a new window). The Retsuko figure, her desk, and the karaoke setup where she lets out her death-metal scream are the creation of Iain Heath(Opens in a new window), a builder-in-residence at The Brothers Brick, a site for adult fans of Lego.

2. Bob Ross

Bob Ross

Nothing is more relaxing than watching Bob Ross painting his happy little clouds. Though Ross is no longer with us, you can stream his shows on Twitch(Opens in a new window) and Netflix(Opens in a new window). If painting is not your thing, you can get creative by building a BrickHeadz-style homage(Opens in a new window) complete with “iconic Bob Ross appearance,” by which the creator can only mean the hair(Opens in a new window).

3. KITT

KITT

Self-driving cars are now real but they don’t talk like KITT did. The faithful smart car was the companion to the less smart Michael Knight on Knight Rider. This Lego reproduction(Opens in a new window) is driven largely by the nostalgia of its creator and even Lego Ideas, since it was a staff pick.

4. Megazord

Megazord

Megazord(Opens in a new window) might face a mighty battle getting made because it’s so close to the Voltron project that’s about to hit shelves but if you back it, you have the Lego staff on your side. It’s been a staff pick because nostalgia dies hard(Opens in a new window). If you’ve been rewatching the series on Netflix, go vote because it’s supportin’ time.

5. Podcast Studio

Podcast Studio

You probably have a favorite podcast or two. If the hosts are lucky, they have access to a podcast studio as nice as this one(Opens in a new window). It transforms for different formats and has snacks for guests, a whiteboard for ideas, and even a dog.

6. SpaceX

SpaceX

You’d need plenty of space and time to finish this SpaceX kit(Opens in a new window). It’s made up of over 1,500 bricks to construct the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets as well as the TEL (transporter/erector/launcher). The project has a lot of supporters but creator Matthew Nolan is looking for a boost(Opens in a new window) from Elon Musk himself.

7. Typewriter

Typewriter

Go old-school with this typewriter(Opens in a new window). It’s a solidly built piece of gadgetry that has a working hand-cranked mechanism. The attention to detail is because its creator Steve Guinness is the winner of the UK’s Lego Masters TV show(Opens in a new window).
