Take A Stroll Down LEGO Ideas Sesame Street!

We first shared Ivan Guerrero's Lego Sesame Street idea way back 2017 and it's finally a reality as today Lego officially announced LEGO Ideas 21324 Sesame Street!



Below are Ivan's , who goes by the builder name "bulldoozer", original concepts for the LEGO Sesame Street playset. 

Ivan attributes Jim Henson and his creations for shaping his creative career in the film industry. You can learn more about Ivan Guerrero in his 10K Club Interview.




While LEGO went with a slimmed down and modern look of the street, and opted for no humans we still delighted to see Ivan's idea come to fruition. 

Ivan's nostalgic and playful concept model was brought to life as an official LEGO Ideas set by LEGO Model Designer Ollie Gregory with graphic design by Crystal Marie Fontan. In addition, the new LEGO moulds for the minifigures were created by Jaime Sanchez, Stewart Whitehead & Ann Chen.


From Bert and Ernie’s apartment to Big Bird’s nest and Hooper's Store, many of our favorite sesame Street locals have been incorporated into this set... even if Ernie and Bert's' apartment isn't in the right place (they live in the basement, not the penthouse).




The Elmo, Cookie Monster, Oscar the Grouch, Bert, Ernie and Big Bird figures were created specifically for this LEGO Ideas set and they represent the first time in LEGO Ideas history that new LEGO elements have been created specifically for one of their sets. 


Once built, the 1,367-piece LEGO 123 Sesame Street measures 9” (24cm) high, 13.5” (35cm) wide and 8.2” (21cm) deep.


Official Product Description:

Sesame Street has been a family-favorite TV show for more than 50 years. Now you can create a colorful, LEGO® brick version of 123 Sesame Street and relive classic scenes with this awesome LEGO Ideas (21324) build-and-display set for adults.

Instantly recognizable details: 
The 123 Sesame Street building features Bert and Ernie’s apartment, Elmo’s bedroom and Bert’s rooftop bird house, and is packed with authentic details and accessories to delight fans. To complete the iconic street corner scene, there is Hooper’s Store, Big Bird’s nest, Oscar the Grouch’s trash can and much more. This set includes Sesame Street character minifigures Elmo, Cookie Monster, Oscar the Grouch, Bert and Ernie, plus a Big Bird figure, to spark imaginative fun.



Hopefully the release of this Sesame Street LEGO set will bring attention to Ivan's other Henson related sets including Labyrinth and The Muppet Show and they'll be made into official LEGO products as well.
