Thankfully, unofficial LEGO site Brickfinder came up with a "Feel Guide" to help.

Rumor: LEGO Muppet Minifigures Coming This Summer!

There have been some rumors swirling on social media for a couple months about Lego introducing Muppet minifigures. Well, the rumors appear to be true as the following packaging images have leaked online...

No official word from Lego yet, and no, it's not the IDEA set we've been hoping for, but if these rumors pan out they way they've been going, we should expect to see LEGO's Muppets Minifigures Series (71033) Summer 2022!

We'll keep you posted.

Coming Soon: Sesame Street LEGO Set!

LEGO announced that Ivan Guerrero's fan-pitched Sesame Street playset will be coming to a store near you!

His set was one of 9 revealed by LEGO Ideas engagement manager Hasan Jensen and LEGO Ideas creative lead Sam Johnson.

“LEGO Ideas is where your dream of being a LEGO designer can come true. All you have to do is build a model, submit it to LEGO Ideas, and then you have the big task ahead of you of actually getting 10,000 supporters to vote for your project,” Jensen said. “After the process of gaining 10,000 supporters, we take it internally. We have a review board that evaluates all the projects.”

We've showcased Ivan's incredible LEGO ideas numerous times including his Labyrinth, The Muppet Show, and Muppet performers sets. 

Ivan gave us a shout-out in his official thank you post, but to Ivan, we say thank you for your great ideas and dedication to bringing the world of Jim Henson to LEGO!

No word on the price or release date, but we'll keep you posted.

Tell LEGO How to Get to Sesame Street!

Muppet fan Ivan Guerrero recently designed a LEGO set based on Sesame Street for "LEGO Ideas." 

If his design gets over 10,000 votes on the LEGO Ideas page, it stands the chance of being produced as an official LEGO product. It would still need approval from Sesame Workshop, of course but when you see his designs, and all the details he put into it, it would be hard for them not to.

Previous fan-made sets based on Back to the Future, Ghostbusters, The Big Bang Theory, Doctor Who, The Beatles, Voltron, NASA, have all been produced so Ivan's Sesame Street design has a good shot.

You can check out his design and vote by visiting the LEGO Ideas page.

Thanks for sharing this Ivan, now let's make sure he idea gets all the votes he can get.
