The LEGO Ideas theme, which started in 2008 as an offshoot of the Japanese website Cuusoo, then formally known as LEGO Cuusoo, is based around a website which allows users to submit ideas for LEGO products to be turned into potential sets available commercially. If fellow users in the LEGO Ideas community up vote the project to 10000 then LEGO Group has a committee which votes on whether to build the set and release it. If the project is approved and cleared for production, it is developed and later released as an official set under the "LEGO Ideas" banner and the original designer receives 1% of the royalties and a number of free sets. Typically, a few projects are approved a year and most are rejected due to various restrictions.
2022 LEGO Sets
In 2022, LEGO maintained its strong financial performance, with revenue growth fueled by popular themes like Star Wars, Technic, and City, which continued to see high demand from collectors and general audiences alike. The company also marked a major milestone—its 90th anniversary, celebrating nearly a century of innovation, creativity, and global impact.
