Fan hopes for Lego<\/strong> sets based on Zelda and Metroid are dashed today as the latest Lego Ideas review decisions are unveiled – and several video game related sets are among those rejected.<\/p>\n

These sets have been in review for quite some time – we reported on them way back in January of this year<\/a>. Since then, teams of decision-makers at Lego have been analysing and considering each of the proposed sets, deciding which will become real products. The designs were submitted as part of the Lego Ideas program, where fans can design potential Lego sets and put them up for a public vote – those that get enough votes then go to the experts at Lego for review, and some of those become actual products that you can buy.<\/p>\n

Many more were rejected, however, including several video game pitches: a Legend of Zelda Hyrule Castle, an Animal Crossing New Horizons playset, Samus Aran’s Gunship from Metroid, and a detailed replica of an Among Us map. <\/p>\n
