Percy Jackson: Welcome to Camp Half-Blood! by J.K.Brick is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The build is based on Camp Half-Blood from the Disney+ series Percy Jackson and the Olympians. The left side has the arena, the middle is Poseidon’s Cabin, and the right one is Hermes’ Cabin. This is the project 117 to reach the LEGO Ideas Second 2025 Review Stage.
Working LEGO Pendulum Clock by Brickjesbuilder is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The build features a fully functional clock that uses a gear system to move the pendulum. With this, we are now up to 116 projects that have reached the LEGO Ideas Second 2025 Review Stage.
The SDCC Unofficial Blog last week started voting on their annual Shruggie Awards for the best panel, offsite, booth, etc. The votes are now in and the winners have been announced with LEGO being The Best Booth at San Diego Comic-Con 2025.
This year’s booth, LEGO decided to make a miniature version of San Diego Comic Con with a recreation of the San Diego Convention Center. It was made from over 200,000 LEGO elements and had over 8,000 minifigures. The back side featured panels and booths as well as the exhibit floor where fans could build their own booth and some lucky ones were placed inside the display.
Note that the voting process was write-ins and not multiple choice so fans had to actually write in their favorite booths. Although it’s nothing official, it’s nice to see that the LEGO booth was recognized by fans as the best one of the entire show even though there were some impressive ones like Star Wars, VIZ, and Tamashii Nations. LEGO annually goes all out at SDCC and we’ll just have to wait and see what they have in store for next year.
Two more LEGO Ideas projects overnight have reached the 10,000 supporters mark to reach the Second 2025 Review Stage. As of this post, we’re up to 115 projects that have hit the goal this period with a few more within a day or so. Looking at all the projects, there’s a good mix of licensed and non-licensed projects so it’ll be very interesting to see what LEGO chooses to become an official LEGO Ideas set.
Ta&Ta Red Barn Winter Tree Shop. by TaeTa bricks is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The 3,000 piece build features a winter scene that has a Christmas tree shop that was once a barn. There’s also a snowy driveway surrounding it. I will say that it does look better than some of the Winter Village sets that LEGO has released in the past few years.
If you’re one to get your holiday shopping done early, LEGO has put up pre-orders for all their 2025 Advent Calendars. There are six of them this year for various LEGO themes and all of them will be available on September 1.
