A few years back, Lego began offering a set called Lego Ideas that allowed fans to submit ideas for new sets. The top ideas are put through a rigorous test procedure before becoming official releases. These new designs let fans create models that are exceptionally detailed and not available in other sets. This led to the creation of the Voltron set. This set lets you build all five mechanical Lions, and then assemble them into the renowned Voltron.
This tribute to Japan’s most well-known mountain also includes a fan-created set. The set is huge in size and features a lot of amazing details that you won’t find in any other sets. It’s an ideal way to show your love of Japan.
This ode to Star Wars is another impressive creation. The set contains all the iconic weapons of the Star Wars series, and much more than you’d typically find in sets. It’s the best set we’ve seen for a long time.
Professional Lego artists have been making impressive Lego creations for a long time. Mariann Nathan is one such artist, who has worked as an Lego designer on a freelance basis for a number of years. Her portfolio covers everything from replicas of famous landmarks to a 4-foot ladybug and an actual-sized Pirate.
Another noteworthy Lego artist is David Hughes, who recreates famous artworks in brick form. He even has a piece of Afternoon of a Faun for auction, but beware that it’s not cheap.
