Change language:
The popular Danish toy manufacturer is making an official set to be sold worldwide based on a young Hungarian boy’s idea. This is the second time that a Hungarian’s design wins the famous online competition.
According to 24.hu, Donát Fehérvári’s idea was revealed to be the winner of the LEGO Ideas competition named We love sports! on LEGO CON, an event held for the first time this year. Competitors could upload their sports-related ideas from December 2020 to February 2021.
LEGO Ideas is a website where anyone can submit their ideas that can then become official LEGO kits with a bit of luck and support. If the submitted work gets 10,000 supporting votes from registered users within a given period of time, it is a winner, and LEGO will consider whether it is worthwhile to design a commercially available set from the submitted idea.

Donát designed a foosball table from LEGO parts that you can actually play with, and he won both the professional jury’s and the audience’s vote.
He has not only won the competition, but the Danish company has also decided to launch an official set within the LEGO Ideas product family, based on Donát’s idea. The set will be designed by the company’s designers based on the submitted idea. They usually change the design in order to perfectly comply with the company’s standards, for example, considering factors like the building experience.
