Fan LEGO iMac G3 Tops 5,000 Supporters, Faces Apple Licensing Hurdle

Passing LEGO's 10,000‑supporter review threshold would still require Apple's approval to become a retail set.

Overview

  • Submitted by fan designer terauma, the Bondi Blue iMac G3 concept uses about 700 pieces with translucent elements, a CRT and board inside, plus the matching keyboard and hockey‑puck mouse.
  • Support has climbed past 5,000 on LEGO Ideas, with recent tallies reported around 5,000 to 5,700 as the project gains visibility.
  • The project now has roughly 320 days remaining to reach 10,000 supporters, the benchmark for LEGO’s formal review.
  • Even at 10,000 supporters, production would depend on Apple granting a license and on LEGO’s evaluation of brand fit, demand, build quality and overlap with existing or in‑development products.
  • The nostalgia‑driven tribute follows other Apple‑themed submissions like an Apple Store concept that reached review, illustrating the pathway but not guaranteeing approval.
