But tell me what you think in the comments! [Read more…] about NEW! LEGO Icons Arcade Pinball Machine – It’s missing something big! (set 11374)

LEGO IDEAS Bluey hits 10k supporters and I want it for real life!

September 1, 2022 By GJBricks Leave a Comment

Reading Time: 2 minutes

I honestly can’t believe I missed this Bluey LEGO Ideas submission during the voting stage! One of my favourite cartoons realised in LEGO! Bluey! Ok, there are several Bluey submissions on LEGO Ideas, and this is not the first to hit 10k. But damn is it good! This is my favourite and here’s why! My question is, how do we influence @LEGO to make this a reality like the Simpsons – assuming they aren’t already planning it?
