LEGO Ideas The Neverending Story (40th Anniversary) Removed from Third 2022 Review Stage Due to Copyright Takedown

January 22, 2023 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

At the beginning of the month, LEGO announced the projects that moved on to the LEGO Ideas Third 2022 Review Stage but it looks like another project has been removed. This time, The Neverending Story (40th Anniversary) by FACEBRICKUP was removed due to a copyright takedown request from the license holder a few days after the announcement. LEGO didn’t mention who submitted the copyright takedown. It’s safe to say that we’ll probably never see another project based on The Neverending Story again.

This was the second project that reached the 10k but later had to be removed due to certain reasons, the first being the Holiday Village w/Train (Working). LEGO didn’t give a reason for that one. The LEGO Ideas blog post has been updated to show that 35 submissions will be moving on in the Review Stage.
