A few years ago, Lego began offering a set called Lego Ideas that allowed users to submit ideas for new sets. The best ones then go through an exhaustive process to transform them into official releases. These new designs allow fans create models that are incredibly detailed and not available in other sets. It was because of this process that the fantastic Voltron set was born. This set allows users to build all five mechanical Lions, and then put them to form the legendary Voltron.
This homage to Japan’s most renowned mountain comes with a fan-created items. This set is massive in size and has a lot of interesting details that won’t find in any other sets. It’s an ideal way to show your appreciation for Japan.
Another amazing creation is this tribute to the Star Wars franchise. The set contains all the iconic weapons of the Star Wars franchise plus a lot more than you normally find in the typical set. It’s one of the most impressive sets that we’ve seen in many years.
Since a while, professional Lego artists have been creating impressive Lego creations. One of them is Mariann Nathan, who has been working as an independent Lego designer for quite a while now. Her portfolio is diverse from replicas of landmarks to a four-foot ladybug, and the life-size Pirate.
David Hughes is another notable Lego artist who has recreated famous artworks in brick format. There’s even a piece of Afternoon of a Faun for sale, though be aware that it’s not inexpensive.
