Earlier this month, LEGO Ideas unveiled the 35 product ideas that reached the 10,000 supporter milestone to qualify for the Third 2022 LEGO, which will be considered for being turned into future LEGO sets. Among the ideas qualifying for consideration are “Castle Dracula,” “Jaws,” and “Jack Skellington’s House.”
Castle Dracula
Castle Dracula was designed by Iyan Ha and is an original creation inspired by the iconic vampire and not based on Bran Castle in Transylvania, which is often referred to as Dracula’s Castle. The ornate two-story design features hinged rear walls that expose the castle’s interior, composed of four rooms.
Jaws
LEGO Ideas has been an incredible source for bringing some of our favorite movie moments to life in LEGO form. For instance, LEGO Ideas is bringing us an official Hocus Pocus set. Now LEGO builder Diving Faces is hoping to give Steven Spielberg’s 1975 classic film “Jaws” the LEGO treatment. At the heart of the set are an accurately detailed ORCA and the star of the film (Bruce), the shark. The set also includes Minifigures of the characters Martin Brody, Matt Hooper, and Quint.
Jack Skellington’s House
Another movie-inspired set that made it to review is from LEGO builder Laurgo23, whose set is inspired by Jack Skellington’s home in the movie “The Nightmare Before Christmas.” This LEGO build is built to Minifigure scale and features iconic characters and locations from the film. In addition to Jack’s house, the set features the iconic spiral hill from the film, complete with a moon backdrop and Minifigures of Jack, Sally, Lock, Shock, Barrel, and Zero. The house stands over two feet tall, and while not very noticeable from the image, one of the impressive features of this set is that it features a light-up element that illuminates the house.
The next phase for these LEGO Ideas 10K Club members is to go through an interview series, which will kick off as soon as LEGO Ideas announces its Second 2022 review results. During this phase, LEGO Ideas interviews the creators who made it to this round and ultimately decides which sets, if any, will be turned into an actual LEGO product. When selecting a product, LEGO considers the quality of the set and the viability of the set based on licensing, sales projections, and the like. You can view all 35 qualifying submissions from this round on the LEGO Ideas website.
