Have your say in a future LEGO Ideas gift-with-purchase
The LEGO Ideas team has opened up the fan vote to decide a future gift-with-purchase inspired by a childhood memory.
Fan voting is now open for the Twist of Nostalgia challenge, where the LEGO Ideas team invited the community to dive into their childhood memories and reimagine their favourite LEGO set with a modern update. Whether it’s a classic theme or a beloved set, the idea was to transform it into something fresh and new. The design would then become a future gift-with-purchase.
With over 750 entries, it’s now time for the LEGO Ideas community to choose their favourites out of the 13 finalists. We’ve listed all of them below, with links to click through and vote.
