Overview
- The LEGO Group announced the challenge at New York Comic Con on Saturday and opened submissions on the LEGO Ideas platform immediately.
- Builders may enter across three categories — vehicles, characters, and scenes — with submissions accepted through the campaign page on ideas.lego.com.
- Reports disagree on the community voting start date, with some outlets saying voting begins December 8 and PR Newswire stating December 15, and one outlet noted the official contest page briefly returned a 404 during initial reporting.
- Winners and Grand Prize selections will be revealed in early 2027, and fan favorites that progress through LEGO Ideas may be refined by LEGO designers and turned into commercial products with creator compensation.
- The challenge ties directly to the Star Wars/Marvel: Hope Assembles comic (launching in January) and to Star Wars’ 50th anniversary events, giving fans a way to shape cross‑franchise merchandise linked to that rollout.
