Lego Ideas has been on a roll lately, both in terms of what it’s been actually releasing and what’s made it through the review process to go from a crowd-supported fan idea to an actual Lego set. But we’ve seen a lot of the latter lately, to the point there’s actually quite a sizeable list of what’s in the pipeline… meaning it might be a while before we see a good few of these sets. Here’s a rundown of every approved Ideas project that’s currently not yet made it to shelves quite yet.
N.B.: All the imagery below is of the original designs submitted by Lego Ideas users and not necessarily reflective of exactly how the final approved Lego set will eventually look.
Love Birds

The oldest approved set on the list, this design, by Ideas user Modular Maniac, won the “Build from the Heart” contest in February 2025 to create a Valentine’s-inspired set.
Floating Sea Otter

This adorable critter from Ideas user HisBrickMaterials was one of two sets to receive approval in March 2025 for the *Second* 2024 Review Stage, which shows you how long this process actually takes!
Snoopy Campfire

Ideas user Bossofdos64‘s set marks our first licensed crossover on the list of in-development sets, depicting the iconic dog and his bird pal Woodstock enjoying some campfire treats. This was the second set approved in the Second 2024 Review stage in March 2025.
Sea Serpent

HallowedBrick02’s Lego Castle-inspired boat is another competition winner, from May 2025’s “A Twist of Nostalgia,” which asked Ideas users to create a small-scale set inspired by iconic classic Lego themes.
Godzilla

Two more licensed sets joined the party in June 2025 from the Third 2024 Review Stage candidates. First up is Ideas user MattE720’s meaty Godzilla, complete with his own jet of heat ray energy to attach to his mouth.
Tintin Space Rocket

The other approved set from the Third 2024 Review stage was from Ideas user tkel86, inspired by the buckwild classic Tintin story “Destination Moon.”
The X-Files: The Truth Is Out There

Two winners, one large-scale and one smaller-scale, were confirmed in June 2025 for the “Build Your Nostalgia—90s Throwback!” competition. Unsurprisingly, two licensed sets hailing from the decade were picked, and in the large-scale category, Wetwired‘s replica of Mulder and Scully’s office and an iconic alien encounter scene was the winner.
Wallace & Gromit

The winner of the smaller-scale entries for the competition was Ideas user Pidelium’s thoroughly British entry, depicting Aardman’s beloved inventor and his canine pal on their motorbike as seen in the classic Wallace & Gromit short film, A Close Shave.
Build, Paint, and Play!

Although distinctly not a Warhammer collaboration, Ideas user Doomslizer’s entry for the “Build Your Favorite Hobby” contest in September 2025 certainly feels inspired, with this fun mini replica of building and painting a small tabletop miniature.
Vintage Sewing Machine

Created by Ideas user BrickStability, this was also approved in September 2025 for another competition, “Timeless Creations.”
Go Go Power Rangers Megazord
© Lego
One of a whopping six sets approved from last week’s announcement for the First 2025 Review stage, and the first of four licensed approvals, this whopping Power Rangers Megazord build by TrumanBricks can even break down into the Mighty Morphin’ team’s individual zords.
Ramen

Sometimes you just need a big bowl of something nice, nutritious, and comforting… except this one, by Ideas user Micdud, is very plastic and very inedible.
E.T. the Extraterrestrial
© Lego
Another licensed set from October 2025’s First 2025 Review Stage, Ideas user lafabrick’s replica model of the iconic movie alien even comes with a flowerpot nestled in his arms.
Smurf Village
© Lego
The dramatically named Half Blood Baron developed this Smurfs-themed set, depicting various fungal houses from the diminutive blue creatures’ hometown.
La Catrina
© Lego
The most thematically appropriately timed approval of the First 2025 Review Stage, Ideas user yop1172‘s Mexican Day of the Dead model is inspired by José Guadalupe Posada’s La Calavera Catrina, which has become a symbol of the holiday.
Downton Abbey: Highclere Castle

The final approved set from the First 2025 Review Stage, Ideas user BRO3 celebrates the beloved British drama series, featuring a whopping 15 minifigures representing Downton Abbey‘s vast ensemble cast, alongside a pretty detailed build of a manor facade.
When Lego likes a submission but still wants more time to consider it—which can happen for myriad reasons, such as trying to find more time to negotiate with a license holder, among others—it will occasionally punt making a decision just yet by moving a set to “The Parking Lot.” Being put in the lot doesn’t necessarily mean a set is guaranteed to be approved eventually, but it does mean that Lego is at least interested in pursuing the potential for the submission to enter development.
Camping Trip

This set by Terauma was the first among the four sets currently in the Parking Lot. It was moved there in June 2025 and was initially part of the Third 2024 Review Stage.
Daft Punk Concert
© Lego
The appropriately named Ideas user RobotRock developed this set, which was one of three sets moved to the Parking Lot as part of last week’s announcements for the First 2025 Review Stage.
Golden Girls
© Lego
This vignette featuring Blanche, Rose, Dorothy, and Sophia on the kitchen “set” from the classic sitcom by Ideas user Martin_Studio was also moved to the Parking Lot from the First 2025 Review Stage.
The Old Man and the Sea

Iyan ha’s set inspired by the events of the 1952 Ernest Hemingway novella was the last of the three sets moved to the Parking Lot from the First 2025 Review Stage.
