92 LEGO Ideas Projects Enter the Second 2026 Review

The second LEGO Ideas review of 2026 closed with 92 projects reaching the 10,000-supporter threshold. That is a crowded field, spanning licensed subjects, mechanical models, character builds, architecture, and ideas drawn from everyday objects.

just2good’s overview makes the round easier to scan, but the larger lesson sits in the diversity of pitches. A review group can contain a PlayStation 1, a Sony Walkman, Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, the Pink Palace from Coraline, a rotating tornado, and a Green Iguana Mecha without any one category defining the field.

The queue mixes recognition with demonstrable ideas

Licensed concepts such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, ThunderCats, Gilmore Girls, and Paddington arrive with an instant visual vocabulary. Original projects have to earn the same quick recognition through form or function. A spinning tornado, an emergency kit, or a bookend inspired by Interstellar can explain itself through a single strong image and one memorable action.

For aspiring Ideas designers, that contrast is useful. Familiar subject matter can attract attention, but the model still needs a clear physical proposition.

A review image must do more than document the build

With 92 projects competing for attention, presentation becomes part of the design. The best pitch images establish scale, show the dominant silhouette, and make a play function or display angle understandable without a long caption. Secondary images can then prove interior access, alternate positions, or modular sections.

Final Thoughts

This review round is a snapshot of how broad LEGO Ideas has become. Whatever the final results, the shortlist rewards builders who can reduce a complex concept to a model whose subject and purpose are immediately legible.
