39 LEGO Ideas projects rejected in third 2023 review
Thirty-nine different LEGO Ideas projects have been rejected in the third 2023 review, including potential sets inspired by Billie Eilish, Phineas and Ferb and The Simpsons.
LEGO Ideas has just announced the results of the third 2023 review, in which a total of 41 projects were hoping to get the green light to become official products. Just two have earned that honour in this round though, including Roberto Ceruti and Jody Padulano’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory – Here We Go Again and Alex Sahli’s Italian Riviera.
That means 39 other projects have fallen at the final hurdle on their LEGO Ideas journey, including Truman Cheng’s Moon Palace, Vaicko’s Wreck-It Ralph 10th Anniversary, FastBrickStudios’ The Simpsons: The Krusty Burger and many more. You can check out all the projects that were in the running in this round (but didn’t make the cut) in the table below.

Other key projects that haven’t made the cut this time are two different builds inspired by Coraline, a pair of projects tied to musicians Billie Eilish and Harry Styles respectively, and Greygo’s Phineas and Ferb model.
All is not lost, though: per LEGO Ideas’ terms and conditions, each of these creators will receive a consolation prize of up to three LEGO products totalling $500 in value (subject to availability). That’s a cool $19,500 in product the LEGO Group will be giving away in this review round alone.
The results of the first 2024 review will be announced in autumn this year. A total of 48 projects reached 10,000 votes within the qualifying window for that review.

Journalism does run through my veins, though, like some kind of weird literary blood – the sort that will no doubt one day lead to a stress-induced heart malfunction. It’s like smoking, only worse. Thankfully, I get to write about LEGO until then.
