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 extensive process to make them into official releases. The new designs allow fans to design incredible models that aren’t available in any other sets. Through this process that the fantastic Voltron set was born. The set lets players build the five lions mechanically and then – with a bit of reassembling – connect them to form the legendary Voltron.
Other fan-created sets include this homage to Japan’s most renowned mountain. The set is a massive size and has a lot of cool detail that you won’t find in any other sets. It’s an excellent way to show your love for Japan.
This ode to Star Wars is another impressive creation. The set contains the most iconic weapons from the Star Wars franchise as well as a lot more than you would normally get in a set. It’s one of the most impressive sets we’ve seen for a long time.
Professional Lego artists have been creating impressive Lego creations for quite a while now. Mariann Nathan is one of these artists, who has been an Lego designer freelance for many years. Her portfolio covers everything from replicas of landmarks to a four-foot ladybug, and a life-size Pirate.
David Hughes is another notable Lego artist who has recreated famous works of art in bricks. He has a sculpture of Afternoon of a Faun on sale, but take note that it’s not cheap.
