LEGO Designer James May Teases Four 2023 LEGO Ideas Sets

LEGO Designer James May a few hours ago has teased what LEGO Ideas sets we can expect to see in 2023. In his Twitter post, he shows off some projects he’s been working on since he moved to the LEGO Ideas team which includes BTS – Dynamite, Hocus Pocus – The Sanderson Sisters’ Cottage, and the Polaroid OneStep SX-70. He’s also teases another mystery set that should be coming next year.

There are some possibilities on what that fourth set could be. Note that it takes roughly about one and half years of production time from the announcement to release date. One is the Tribute to Galileo Galilei GWP from the Ready, Set, Go STEM! building contest which was announced back in June so it could be a late 2023 release. Another set could be the Viking Village from the Target Fan Vote which was announced in August. This would also be a late 2023 release as well. I doubt that it would be something from the Second 2022 Review since those winner(s) haven’t even been announced yet and that would really push the production time up quite a bit but we’ll see.

Unwind and find your flow while building LEGO® Art Hokusai: The Great Wave. A creative tribute to a global icon and masterpiece with a long history of cultural relevance in Japan and around the world.

Billund, December 28, 2022: Easily one of the most recognizable and influential Japanese artworks of all time continues to make creative waves around the world: Hokusai – The Great Wave. The LEGO Group is paying tribute to this global masterpiece and its almost two-century long history by re-imagining the iconic masterpiece in LEGO Art form, giving lovers of art and Japanese culture the opportunity to immerse themselves into a relaxing build, perfect for displaying at home.

Since Katsushika Hokusai created the original woodblock print of The Great Wave in the early 1830’s, the image has decorated the walls of museums, inspired music, and been recreated as street art and merchandise around the world. The image portrays Mount FUJI, Japan’s iconic mountain, behind a large wave covering a group of small boats.

The artwork has now been re-imagined by LEGO
