Lego Ideas is how common individuals get their “my very own creations” (MOCs) became official units. The platform lets anybody add an authentic set thought and the neighborhood votes on them. Any set that reaches 10,000 votes will then be thought of for manufacturing within the firm’s well-liked Concepts theme. Some well-liked previous Concepts units embrace Medieval Blacksmith (21325), Tree House (21318), and Globe (21332).
It is not simple for an Concepts submission to achieve manufacturing even when it does garner 10,000 votes.

These sorts of units typically have a neater time getting by way of all of Lego’s hoops. That stated, some units that do require licensing get authorised as a result of Lego already has a longtime relationship with that firm. Disney’s Steamboat Willie (21317) set, which is now discontinued, involves thoughts. Sadly, Lego has no formal relationship with Tesla at the moment and even rejected a Cybertruck set that reached 10,000 votes prior to now.

His Tesla-themed set, although, is his hottest, having simply handed his Springfield Elementary School from The Simpsons set in votes with 2,685 to 2,614. Sure, French’s Tesla set nonetheless has an extended technique to go to achieve 10,000 votes, however the sort of publicity ought to assist.
