Three brand-new LEGO Ideas sets have just been approved, meaning they’ll be in consumers’ hands in the near future. These three fan-submitted LEGO sets include a Netherlands-inspired windmill, a Chinese-inspired cork carving art piece, and a set inspired by Christopher Nolan’s sci-fi epic Interstellar.
For those unaware, the LEGO Ideas program allows fan-submitted projects to potentially become official sets made and produced by LEGO. Essentially, every LEGO Ideas project that reaches 10,000 supporters on the website is then reviewed by LEGO to see if it could become an official set. Of course, not every LEGO Ideas set passes the review process. LEGO looks at things like licensing possibilities, originality, and build potential to determine if a LEGO Ideas set is worth pursuing.
3 New LEGO Ideas Sets Approved
Of the 97 LEGO Ideas projects submitted for review this year, just three have been approved and are now on their way to becoming official LEGO sets. The first of these is Minibrick41587’s Interstellar, a set directly inspired by Christopher Nolan’s 2014 sci-fi movie starring Matthew McConaughey. This project was first uploaded to the LEGO Ideas site in December 2024, and its original concept features a 561-piece recreation of Interstellar‘s Ranger craft, buildable TARS and CASE figures, and minifigures of McConaughey’s Cooper and Anne Hathaway’s Dr. Brand.

The second set officially approved by LEGO is GenericBrix’s Chinese Cork Carving Art. Uploaded in December 2025, this set’s original design features 1,273 pieces to recreate a traditional Chinese cork diorama, one depicting a tranquil house and adjoining garden. The third and final set to make it through this round of LEGO Ideas approvals is HisBrickMaterials’ Tulip Field Windmill. Uploaded in October 2025, this set features a tall, rotating windmill surrounded by a field of colorful tulips, all inspired by the iconic landscapes of the Netherlands.
While LEGO has confirmed that these three fan-submitted designs will become official LEGO sets, there’s no word yet on when fans can expect to see them on store shelves. Additionally, these designs could change between their original concepts and the final product, with LEGO being the ultimate deciding factor in how many pieces each set will have, which minifigures are included, and the overall look of the final build.
Along with confirming that these three sets have been officially approved, LEGO has announced that two new Ideas sets are heading to the LEGO ‘Parking Lot.’ This term refers to the handful of LEGO Ideas sets that have been approved but need a little longer to work through the review process. A total of seven sets are now in the LEGO Parking Lot, including a Hollow Knight-inspired LEGO set, a Bob’s Burgers set, and a Naruto set. The two most recent additions are a LEGO Ideas set inspired by The Fifth Element, and a Plants Vs. Zombies Peashooter set.
