It’s Christmas in February as festive LEGO Ideas project reaches 10K again
The builder behind 21322 Pirates of Barracuda Bay is back with a festive LEGO Ideas project, which has just cracked the 10K mark for the second time.
Prolific LEGO Ideas user Pablo Sánchez Jiménez’s Claus Toys gives jolly St. Nick his very own modular building, which incorporates Santa’s workshop, a toy shop (without a cash register) and a winter sports store. Built using 3,000 pieces, Claus Toys is set over three storeys and includes seven minifigures.
It’s also not the first time Jiménez has successfully brought this concept to the LEGO Ideas review stage: an earlier model achieved the same feat in April 2021, but was rejected in the first 2021 review. For this latest attempt, the designer has added two extra characters, refined certain details and revamped the model’s colour scheme.
Those changes – which result in a more muted building than the previous iteration – clearly haven’t deterred the Ideas community from once again propelling Claus Toys to 10,000 votes. It will now advance to the first 2023 review, and the LEGO Ideas team will once more have the chance to green light the seasonal modular building.
Given not one modular building has made it out of the review phase, though, it would be quite the Christmas miracle…

- I like to think of myself as a journalist first, LEGO fan second, but we all know that’s not really the case. Journalism does run through my veins, though, like some kind of weird literary blood – the sort that will no doubt one day lead to a stress-induced heart malfunction. It’s like smoking, only worse. Thankfully, I get to write about LEGO until then.
