The LEGO Motorised Lighthouse will be the next LEGO Ideas set!

June 22, 2021 | 5

The LEGO Ideas team have just announced the results of the Third 2020 Review Results, where 25 product ideas that reached 10,000 supporters between early September 2020 and early January 2021 were vying to become the next LEGO Ideas set and…

The sole winning set out of this round is Sandro Quattrini’s (aka Roses Must Build) Motorized Lighthouse!

Sandro’s lighthouse is a timeless beacon that evokes a sense of adventure and mystery. To top it off the LEGO Group has never created one with such incredible details and at such a scale!

Check out more photos of his Ideas submission, and you can also learn more from this 10k club interview.

The inspiration for the set came his mother, who loves lighthouses, and was telling himto build one for years. 

He once took a trip around the Gaspé Peninsula, a region of the province of Quebec, which is host to lighthouses of all shapes and sizes. We visited enormous stone lighthouses on rocky beaches and small, abandoned wooden lighthouses hidden behind the trees.

I guess these structures have always been in some corner of my mind since that trip many years ago. Seeing how different one lighthouse could be from another was impressive. 

They’re sometimes titanic things that tower over every other building in the town they’re in, and sometimes they’re cosy little houses that calmly sit far away from civilization, in places where all you hear is the sound of waves crashing against rocks. For this project, I wanted to capture that towering essence of tall lighthouses, while also keeping with their solitary nature.

The LEGO Ideas team are now working to finalise the design of the product, and there isn’t any more details on price, piece count, or availability to share right now.

NEXT REVIEW RESULTS COMING FALL 2021

The next batch of LEGO Ideas projects are already in review. And we’ve got a record-breaking review containing a mammoth 57 projects in review, which hit 10K between early January 2021 and early May 2021. We’ll share results of the First 2021 LEGO review period in the Fall of 2021. 

This makes me dizzy thinking about it, but I’d love to see the Succulents, Animal Crossing or Tutankhamun make the cut!

WE LOVE SPORTS CONTEST REVIEW RESULTS
