LEGO Ideas Second 2020 Review Results
Vincent van Gogh: The Starry Night
A huge congratulations to Truman Cheng (aka legotruman) as his Vincent van Gogh: The Starry Night recreation has been selected as one of the next LEGO Ideas sets. Truman's fan concept of one of the most famous paintings and painters illustrates a whole new way to think about LEGO art, which is truly remarkable.
If you'd like to learn more about Truman then make sure to check out his 10K Club Interview.

Sonic Mania: Green Hill Zone
The review board has given Viv Grannell's (aka toastergrl on LEGO Ideas) Sonic Mania - Green Hill Zone the green light. We're excited to collaborate with SEGA and Viv to bring one of the most iconic game characters and brands to life via LEGO bricks on the basis of Viv's colourful and fun creation. Congrats Viv!

Design, pricing, and availability
We’re still working out the final product design, pricing and availability for these 2 sets. We'll share more on the LEGO Ideas blog when we get closer to launch.
Next review results coming in Summer 2021
The next batch of LEGO Ideas projects are already in review. And we've got yet another big group of submissions that reached 10,000 supporters. This time around it was 25 submissions that hit 10K between early September 2020 and early January 2021 and the review board is currently evaluating these. We’ll share results of the Third 2020 LEGO review period in Summer 2021.
Another large round of submissions reaching the 10K Club
Over the past year, we've seen a large increase in the number of members both submitting creations and voting on LEGO Ideas as a result of global lockdowns, which has led to a significant uptick in the number of submissions reaching the 10,000 supporter milestone. Naturally, this has certainly also presented a challenge for us as we can only produce so many LEGO Ideas sets each year.
We initially addressed this back in September last year, importantly emphasising that we will not make any hasty decision about changing the fundamental nature of how LEGO Ideas works.
Our desire to realise more fan creativity has however led to a pilot project together with BrickLink where we will inviting select non-IP 10K creations to participate in the BrickLink Designer Program. We are still finalising the details of this, but hope to be able to start reaching out to selected fan designers soon as well as share more broadly with all of you. Stay tuned.
