Six Projects Hit LEGO Ideas Review Including Howl's Moving Castle and Monty Python

Six projects cleared the 10,000-supporter threshold in LEGO Ideas' Third 2026 Review Stage this week - a notably busy stretch for the programme.

The one that's caught my attention is Howl's Moving Castle from builder butterbarr. Studio Ghibli would be new territory for LEGO, but a walking castle built from brick has obvious visual appeal - the kind of thing you'd display properly rather than shove in a cupboard.

Krackenator4's Monty Python and the Holy Grail: French Encounter is the other standout. Monty Python has a natural crossover with the adult LEGO fan demographic, and licensed comedy sets can work brilliantly when the humour transfers to the medium.

The Coral Reef Diorama from Winterfresh_2 and The Clocktower Art Gallery from mandrak fit the display-piece mould that Ideas does well. Both look polished in concept.

Mike_the_Brickanic's Cessna 172 and Nomad_2024's Nomad Yurt are more specific in their appeal, but that's no bad thing - some of the best Ideas sets have been the unexpected ones.

None of these become products automatically. Reaching 10,000 gets your submission into the review queue; LEGO's team then decides which, if any, move forward. Most don't. This batch feels more varied than some recent review windows, which at least makes the waiting more interesting.
