New Challenge - If We Could Turn Back Time

We’re talking leg warmers and big hair: this challenge is all about the 80s! 

Regardless of if you were around in the 80s or not, there are so many iconic TV shows and films from that era. With a huge amount of nostalgia and the chance to become a LEGO Ideas Fan Designer, could you build submissions that celebrate these shows and films using good old LEGO bricks? 

There must be a retro show or film you love from that era that inspires you. A cult classic, something from your childhood, or an old-school action-packed adventure! 

Your submissions should: 

Only reference approved intellectual properties (IPs) as disclosed in our IP checking tool. 

  • If an IP is not listed in our IP tool, then you may submit the creation, after which our evaluation team will evaluate the suitability of the IP. It may therefore be either approved or denied. You can find the IP checking tool by visiting https://ideas.lego.com/projects/create and clicking “Submit Idea”. 

Choosing to base your submission on any current or previous LEGO set with an appropriate IP (Indiana Jones, Seinfeld, TRON) will not be accepted. 

Your submission must be either entirely new creations or expired Product Ideas. Active Product Ideas will not be accepted. 

 

A judging panel consisting of members of the LEGO Ideas Review Board will select all the entries that participate in the Fan Vote.  

Just like the ‘What does family mean to you?’ challenge, all entries that reach the Fan Vote phase could be a new LEGO Ideas Product! 

For full details on what the judges are looking for, see the ‘Judging’ section of this contest page. 

A maximum of five (5) entries will be part of the fan vote following the judging process. 

The winning entry in the Fan Vote will be compensated as a Product Idea prize winner as outlined in the Product Idea guidelines and Terms of Service. Meaning, they will receive the following:

  • 1% of the total net sales of the product  
  • 10 complimentary copies of your LEGO Ideas set 
  • Credit and bio in set materials as the LEGO Ideas Fan Designer 

Entries that are selected to participate in the Fan Vote will receive the following: 

  • 21314 Tron: LEGACY 
  • 21328 Seinfeld 
  • 10300 Back to the Future Time Machine 

ENTRY DEADLINE: Submit your entry no later than the 9th of April, 2024 at 6:00 a.m. EST.  If you’re not sure what time zone you’re in, here’s a time zone converter.

What are you waiting for?

Jump back into the 80's and submit your best projects right here! Best of luck to everyone :)
