Two more LEGO Ideas projects have gained 10,000 supporters, getting them one step closer to becoming a real LEGO set.
The first LEGO Ideas review round of 2026 has grown by two, following a steady flow of qualifying projects over the last few days. One project recreates a retro object in LEGO bricks, while another returns to a franchise that has featured on the Ideas platform before.
That brings the total number of projects in the review up to 11. Read on for all the details of the latest two 10K projects, plus a summary of everything qualified so far at the end of the article.
Bring Back the Retro Hype: Vinyl!
First up is brickmotionID's Bring Back the Retro Hype: Vinyl!, a set that features two vinyl record players. One has a transparent lid and one an opaque lid, with seemingly interactive features like a needle that appears to move and elements designed to look like buttons.
My Neighbor Totoro - Studio Ghibli 40th Anniversary Tribute
My Neighbor Totoro - Studio Ghibli 40th Anniversary Tribute, designed by On The Brickside, is the latestv in a relatively long line of Totoro-themed Ideas projects, this time using around 1,600 pieces to recreate Totoro himself, Satsuki and Mei minifigures, and a forest backdrop that mimic Totoro's world. There are also smaller details featured, such as the blue bus stop sign, rain effect elements, and a custom base with the engraved title 'My Neighbor Totoro'.
