It’s a very unique day for LEGO® Ideas as the results of the first product review of 2022 are revealed and of the 39 fan-created projects, 4 of them have been chosen to become future sets. They include a nice mix of interests including buildable insects, a legendary train, an iconic camera and a dash of space. Check out the 4 projects which will become future LEGO Ideas sets below and a big congratulations to each of the fan creators.
LEGO Ideas First 2022 Review Results
Over the past months, the LEGO Review Board evaluated 39 wonderful product ideas that reached 10,000 supporters between early January 2022 and early May 2022.
A big congratulations to all our 10K members for managing to get to this challenging milestone and becoming eligible for review. Our review board really enjoyed reviewing the wide variety of submissions but as always had to make some tough decisions.
We currently have 4 fan creations that are in development, launching at different points in the future. We’re delighted to add several new LEGO Ideas creations to that list today!
LEGO Insects
A huge congratulations to Fan Designer José María (aka hachiroku24). José María has hit a homerun with his small builds inspired by 5 different insects found around the world. He has captured the colours, shapes and overall details so well that it’s hard to tell they are brick-built! We think they will be a great way to bring a piece of nature into your home without bugging you!

The Orient Express, a Legendary Train
Big congratulations to Fan Designer Thomas Lajon (aka LEt.sGO). We’re so excited to finally give our fans a train set! There are a few trains as famous as the Orient Express but none of them can rival the elegance, luxury and history that comes with it. Thomas has poured a lot of love into capturing the details from the locomotive and coal car to the restaurant car to make sure this is the perfect tribute to such a legendary train. It’s a special privilege to bring this creation to life in LEGO bricks!

Tales of the Space Age
A huge congratulations to our first Polish Fan Designer Jan Woźnica (aka john_carter). Jan’s 3-piece product idea intrigued our review board and we’re certain it also caught the fascination of the community overall. He’s managed to create stunning poster style sci-fi scenes filled with action and serenity, showing you don’t need a lot of bricks or loads of details to create awe-inspiring LEGO models.

Polaroid OneStep SX-70
A huge congratulations to Fan Designer Marc (aka Minibrick Productions) for being selected with his incredible tribute to the iconic Polaroid OneStep SX-70 camera. Using his mechanical engineering background, Marc not only made this creation look flawless but also added hidden functionality that mimics the development of film as it slides out of the camera. We can’t wait to see the memories created with this Polaroid camera.

We’re still working out the final product design, pricing and availability for this set. We’ll share more on the LEGO Ideas blog when we get closer to launch. You can always stay updated on product launches and much more via the LEGO Ideas newsletter. Subscribe via your profile settings.
