The LEGO Ideas 2026 Review winners have been announced, so Blocks is rounding up the next LEGO Ideas sets that are coming to shelves – and the ones in the Parking Lot waiting for approval.
LEGO Ideas is the platform where fans can submit their builds to see if they will become official sets. Those that reach 10,000 votes are reviewed by the LEGO Group.
The first 2026 Review phase has wrapped up. A total of 97 submissions reached the threshold to be considered during this round. As always, there was a wide variety of contenders, from dioramas and spaceships to dinosaurs and a giant brick-built brick separator.
Now the results are in and three projects have been officially approved to become LEGO Ideas sets, then another two submissions have been placed in the Parking Lot for further consideration.
The successful fan builds that will become official sets are…
Tulip Field Windmill by HisBrickMaterials
Inspired by the iconic windmills found in The Netherlands, Tulip Field Windmill recreates one of these historical landmarks surrounded by a meadow of tulips. It has been approved as an upcoming LEGO Ideas set.
Maximilian Lambrecht’s model includes a working mechanism within the windmill that allows you to use the crank to rotate the blades, which powers the little millstones inside. There’s also a small kitchen with utensils and an oven to get baking after the flour has been freshly milled. Hopefully the official set will retain the working mechanism and it will be interesting to see if it features the suggested recoloured tulip elements that create rows of brightly coloured blooms.
It’s more success for Maximilian, who saw his concept become 21366 Floating Sea Otters earlier this year.

Chinese Cork Art Carving by GenericBrix
Chinese Cork Art Carving has also been officially approved to go forward as a LEGO set. This build is inspired by the fan designer’s love of the art style, which is an intricate type of wood carving where idyllic scenes or realistic animals are made from individual carved cork pieces glued together.
Nougat and tan elements are combined to give the impression of wood, with a lot of different parts adding texture to a scene of two pagodas next to a little stream. Then everything is encased in a sleek black display stand with geometric patterns.
Interstellar by Minibrick41587
One of the three submissions inspired by the dystopian sci-fi movie, Interstellar, it’s the Ranger that is coming to planet Earth as a LEGO Ideas model. This is the ship that carries Cooper, Amelia, Doyle, Romilly, CASE and TARS on their journey to another galaxy.
Its sleek silhouette and use of multiple angled bricks captures the unique shape of the ship and comes with little brick-built versions of the loveable robots CASE and TARS. The fan designer also suggests minifigures of Cooper and Dr. Brand, but let’s hope that the official version will include the whole crew.
Then here are the models that will go into the Parking Lot…
Peashooter by DistinguishedCrow
The smallest submission that could potentially pass this review is the Peashooter based on the Plants vs. Zombies video game. The Peashooter is the first plant that players can grow in the game to defend their home from a zombie horde. As its name suggests, it literally shoots peas, though the range and combat strength of the little plant is quite weak (and upgrades as you progress through the levels). In the fan concept, lots of curved shell elements and macaroni tubes recreate the slanted stem and leaves, while the printed eyes and oversized mouth add personality to the Peashooter.
The 5th Element – Korben Dallas Taxi by MarinBrickDesign
The 5th Element – Korben Dallas Taxi is another submission based on a classic sci-fi movie. it has not been issued a multi pass, so is hovering in the Parking Lot for now. The flying yellow taxi uses a myriad of curved yellow and grey pieces to capture its iconic shape, along with its horseshoe-shaped grille and the chequered stripe running along its sides. MarinBrickDesign suggests Korben Dallas and Leeloo minifigures that can fit inside, though these characters could be changed by the LEGO Group if the submission is later approved.
The LEGO Group recently announced 21375 Godzilla, the largest ever LEGO Ideas set.
