LEGO today unveils the winning creation of the competition entitled "Design a Vendor Cart" recently organized on the LEGO IDEAS platform and aimed to determine which proposal would one day end up as a promotional product offered under the condition of purchase on the official online store as well as in LEGO Stores.

It is therefore the creation Urban Face Sketcher submitted by ArchGian7 which wins against fourteen other proposals following the public vote and the scene in question will now go through the LEGO process to end up in an official product bearing the logo of the range.

As usual, we do not yet know when, how and for how much it will be possible to get this promotional product; we will have to wait for an official announcement of the final version of the set to find out more.

The team in charge of selecting the ideas that will become official products still has as much work to do: 75 projects have gathered the 10.000 supporters needed to move them into the review phase between September 2025 and today on the LEGO IDEAS platform.

As usual, the selection consists of ideas of varying interest, some rather far-fetched projects that have no chance of passing, various and sundry licenses, modulars, more or less lifestyle objects, projects that are somewhat redundant with what is selected as part of the Bricklink Designer Program, ideas that have already been used by LEGO, etc....

All is not lost for those whose projects are ultimately rejected; they will receive a consolation prize of $500 worth of LEGO products. In my opinion, this will be a very generous reward for some of them... I repeat this because I am convinced of it: I think it's safe to assume that LEGO prefers to maintain a high number of accepted projects to suggest the unwavering popularity of its platform, rather than raising the validation threshold currently set at 10.000 votes and tightening the rules, at the risk of ending up with far fewer validated ideas and yet less waste in the end.

If you want to find out more about all these projects, head over to the LEGO IDEAS blogThey are all listed there. Results are expected later in 2026, with no further details provided.

While we wait to find out which of these 75 projects will see their idea become an official product, we will soon have the announcement of the results of the second phase of the 2025 review. 146 projects in competition :

The traditional January 1st release of LEGO sets is here, with a plethora of products now available across numerous ranges.
