A LEGO Gachapon Machine and Western River Steamboat are your next LEGO Ideas sets!

May 2, 2024 | 12

LEGO Ideas has just announced the results for the Second 2023 Review and two sets have been greenlit for production!

Goosestore‘s Minifigure Prize Machine and CTDpower‘s Western River Steamboat have both been selected as the next LEGO Ideas sets!

I really like how unique these choices are – the Minifigure Prize Machine (aka Gashapon) is a fun dispenser of minifigures in plastic capsules. It’s based on design by Bandai and incredibly popular in Japan.

The Western River Steamboat on the other hand is a highly detailed steam-powered ship that should appeal to fans of boats. This looks to be an incredible display piece and I am looking forward to see what LEGO goes with this.

Interestingly, Disney Pixar’s Luxo Jr Lamp also impressed the LEGO Ideas judging panel, but more time is required to see whether this will be a future LEGO Ideas set. Highly likely more negotiations need to be done with Disney. I sure hope they don’t Snow White’s Cottage this model as it’ll be a really fun model especially for Pixar fans!

Do note that these are not finalised designs, and LEGO will unveil the models after they’ve been finished by the LEGO Ideas Design team!
