LEGO Ideas First 2021 Review Stage Contestants!

Thursday, October 14th, 2021 by Brickfinder

A record breaking 57 entries are vying for a spot on the LEGO store shelves this season and it begs the question, do we need to refine the criteria for inclusion.

Don’t get me wrong, I believe that all the projects above deserve the recognition based on the merit of their design and concept but I also do feel that since LEGO usually selects only one or two finalists per review, there are a LOT of deserving projects that do not get selected for production.

There was one more project that made it to 10,000 supporters but had to be removed due to the intellectual properties guidelines.

What would your picks be? If I had to pick two, it would be The X-Files by Brent Waller and The Violin by Samuel Ho but honestly, I would love for more projects to make it to the store shelves.
