First Godzilla LEGO Ideas Set Roars To Life
The third round of LEGO's Ideas selection has concluded, with two new fan-made designs officially chosen to be made into real sets: A hulking Godzilla build and a Rocket based on the classic 1950 Tintin comic series, Destination Moon . Announced via a LEGO Ideas blog post, the two sets were chosen out of 54 qualifying product ideas, with the Godzilla build originally submitted by Matthew Esposito (aka MattE720) in December 2023, while the Tintin Rocket set was submitted by Alexis Dos Santos (aka TKEL86). This will mark the first ever Godzilla set released by LEGO, an while its exact design, part count, pricing and release date has not been announced yet, fans can get a decent idea of what the final set might look like based on the original fan-made design, which will serve as the basis for the official build. According to MattE720, his design was based on recent films like Godzilla vs. Kong and Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire , and considering that the LEGO Ideas line is primarily targeted at adult collectors, the final design should be appropriately large in scale, befitting of the King of the Monsters himself. The Tintin rocket, on the other hand, features a faithful recreation of the iconic ship that appeared in the Destination Moon comic series, the sixteenth volume of The Adventures of Tintin , which was serialised weekly from March to September 1950 and April to October 1952 in Belgium's Tintin magazine. These two approved sets mark the newest additions to the LEGO Ideas co-creation platform, which began in 2008 as LEGO Cuusoo and eventually relaunched as LEGO Ideas in 2014. Each set in the line begins as a fan submission, and upon reaching 10,000 supporters on LEGO's website, it enters the review stage, an extensive process to gain the final approval to be turned into an official set. The LEGO Ideas Review Board is already hard at work on the next round of fan design reviews, a new batch of 57 product ideas that amassed 10,000 supporters each, with the final results due in September this year.
