A few years ago, Lego began offering a set called Lego Ideas that allowed fans to submit ideas for new sets. The top ideas are tested through a rigorous process before they are officially released. The new designs allow fans to create models that are extremely intricate and aren’t available in other sets. It was through this process that the fantastic Voltron set was born. This set allows users to build all five of the mechanical Lions, then assemble them into the legendary Voltron.
Other fan-created sets include this tribute to Japan’s most well-known mountain range. This set is massive in size and comes with lots of cool detail that you won’t find in any other sets. It’s an ideal way to show your love for Japan.
Another stunning creation is this tribute to the Star Wars franchise. The set comes with all the iconic weapons of the Star Wars universe, plus a lot more than you’d typically find in an assortment. It’s one of the most impressive sets that we’ve seen in many official source years.
Since quite a while, professional Lego artists have created impressive Lego creations. One of these artists is Mariann Nathan, who has been a freelance Lego designer for many years now. Her portfolio includes everything from replicas of famous landmarks to a life-size pirate and four-foot ladybug.
David Hughes is another notable Lego artist who recreates famous pieces of art in bricks. He even has a copy of Afternoon of a Faun for sale, although be warned that it’s not cheap.
