Bring Back the Past With The LEGO IDEAS Timeless Creations Challenge – Final Vote
Go back in time with the latest LEGO IDEAS challenge. These Timeless Creations just need your vote to become a reality.
The latest LEGO IDEAS challenge tasks builders with creating a set inspired by everyday objects that hold a special place in time. Five finalists have been chosen; make sure to cast your vote before June 10th.
Look around your home – we bet you’ll spot an iconic object or two. From vintage cameras and typewriters to classic bicycles and modern-day tech objects that are instantly recognizable and are destined to stand the test of time.
Now, imagine those classics in LEGO® brick form! That’s where you come in. In this exciting challenge, we’re asking you to create a brick-built celebration of a timeless object that you think is a timeless piece that we all know and love.
Vintage Sewing Machine
I can hear this Singer sewing machine inspired set. This vintage sewing machine has a working balance wheel, needle, and spool holder. It even comes with extra bobbins of thread and sewing scissors that your mom will yell at you for using.
Carousel Music Box
Carousels bring up memories of childhood (also horror movies and Nicolas Cage, but this is not that kind of nostalgia). This 694-piece set is inspired by the magical rides with decorated horses and festive organ music. It features a bejeweled canopy adorned with golden details, horses with ornate bridles, and a decorated rotating platform. There is also a compartment to conceal a music source.
Classic Retro Television
This brick-built TV comes from the era when the youngest kid in the room was the remote control and the changing the channel made a thunking noise. I really appreciate all of the details included in this set.
The model is designed to be as faithful a replica as possible — not just on the outside, but also inside. Behind the rounded screen and wooden-style casing, you’ll find a detailed interior with a stylized cathode ray tube, magnetic deflection coils, vacuum tubes, a speaker unit, and colorful wiring simulating analog circuitry, including capacitors and transformers. The “rabbit ears” antenna and classic test pattern complete the nostalgic feel, celebrating both the form and function of vintage TVs.
Rocking Horse
This ornate rocking horse harks back to toys used by generations past. A gem you’d find in your grandmother’s attic. This steed has a golden saddle and bridle, a flowing mane, and ornate details It includes existing pieces—brooms serve as decorative fringes, a bicycle frame forms part of the stirrup, and even a bunch of bananas is used as the horse’s mane.
Rustic Barn Lantern
You’ve seen this rustic lantern in dozens of movies and games… and if it get’s enough votes, you’ll be able to build it. It features an LED light brick that’s turned on and off by a mechanism on the bottom. The creator has done a fantastic job hiding pegs and it looks like you can hang this from a hook for a unique display option.
