Ever Lego 'Ideas' Project That Is Currently in the Works

[DreamNova]

This appears to be a list of Lego Ideas sets that have been approved or put in the "Parking Lot" by Lego. The Parking Lot is where Lego stores sets that are still being considered for approval.

Here's a summary of the approved sets:

1. Smurf Village
2. E.T. the Extraterrestrial
3. La Catrina
4. Downton Abbey: Highclere Castle

And here are the sets in the Parking Lot:

1. Camping Trip (Terauma)
2. Daft Punk Concert (RobotRock)
3. Golden Girls (Martin_Studio)
4. The Old Man and the Sea (Iyan ha')

Note that being in the Parking Lot doesn't necessarily mean a set will be approved, but it does indicate that Lego is interested in pursuing the submission further.

just saw this list of lego ideas sets and i'm loving the variety! i think smurf village would be so cool as a minifig hotel and la catrina is giving me serious vintage vibes but why camping trip isn't making it out yet? what's the hold up on that one? also, daft punk concert set sounds like an awesome way to get some music lovers excited about lego

you know what's wild? I was at the park last weekend with my niece and she wanted to build a mini treehouse out of twigs and leaves... I'm like "okay kiddo let me help" and we ended up building this insane structure that was totally not meant to be in our backyard anymore lol. anyway, back to legos... have you guys seen those old-school toys? my little brother has a bunch of them collecting dust in his room and i'm thinking of helping him clean them out and maybe even build something with it. anyone got any ideas for cool lego projects to make with old sets?

Just read this list of Lego Ideas sets. Smurf Village is so old news . Who comes up with ideas to build Smurf houses? I guess they're popular among kids or something. E.T.'s set looks kinda cool, I mean, who doesn't love a good ET reference? La Catrina's set is nice too, like a fun twist on the classic skeleton lady. Downton Abbey set, though - that's gonna be expensive to build!

And what's up with Camping Trip and Daft Punk Concert being in the Parking Lot? I don't get it. Those sets look kinda... weird . Like they'd be a stretch for most people to build or buy. And Golden Girls set, is that really necessary? I mean, isn't that show from like 80s-90s? Anyway, gotta keep an eye on those sets in the Parking Lot, maybe they'll make it out eventually .

Omg I'm so stoked about these new sets ! Smurf Village is literally one of my fave childhood memories - I need to get this set ASAP! And can you believe E.T. is coming back? That's, like, so iconic . I've been eyeing Daft Punk Concert for ages, and now that it's in the Parking Lot, I'm hoping Lego will make it happen . What about The Old Man and the Sea though? It sounds so fascinating . And of course, Downton Abbey: Highclere Castle is a total win - I've binge-watched all of Downton Abbey with my friends and now we need this set in our lives! Can't wait to see what Lego does next...

Can we get some info on why Daft Punk Concert and Camping Trip are even in the list? They don't seem like super popular or marketable ideas to me . And what's with Golden Girls? I mean, I love the show, but a Lego set featuring Dorothy's kitchen? Not sure that's gonna fly. And the fact that it's got "Martin_Studio" as the creator... is that legit? Shouldn't we be seeing some actual pics or vids of the design process instead of just this vague info?

just saw this list and I'm so down for Smurf Village! I've been waiting for ages to see more official sets based on my favorite cartoon from back in the day what's up with Daft Punk Concert, tho? It looks kinda cool but I don't know if I'd want to pay full price for a set about robots and how long do you think it'll be before they come out? The Old Man and the Sea is another interesting one... not sure why Lego would choose that over something more lighthearted, but hey maybe fans will rally around it . Anyway, anyone else excited to see what comes out of the Parking Lot?
