A few years ago, Lego began offering a set called Lego Ideas that allowed fans to submit ideas for new sets. The best ideas are then put through a rigorous process to turn them into official releases. These new designs allow fans to design extremely detailed models that aren’t in other sets. This led to the creation of the Voltron set. This set lets you create all five mechanical Lions and then assemble them into the renowned Voltron.
Other fan-created sets include this tribute to Japan’s most renowned mountain. This set is massive and packed with cool details that you won’t see in any other set. It’s also a great way to show off your love for Japan.
Another amazing creation is this ode to the Star Wars franchise. The set includes all the iconic weapons of the Star Wars series, and a lot more than you normally find in an assortment. It’s the best set we’ve seen in some time.
Professional Lego artists have been creating impressive Lego creations for quite a while now. One of them is Mariann Nathan, who has been working as an independent Lego designer for several years and is currently. Her portfolio is diverse, from replicas of landmarks to a 4-foot ladybug and a life-size Pirate.
Another notable Lego artist is David Hughes, who recreates famous paintings in brick form. He has a piece of Afternoon of a Faun on sale, but be warned, it is not cheap.
