LEGO Ideas Blog posted the First 2021 review cycle with a whopping 58 57 projects to be considered.
The One Project LEGO Doesn’t Want You To See or Acknowledge It Ever Existed
Before we get to the scroll-a-thon list of projects that are being considered, there is one project that achieved support but was immediately disqualified. At the very bottom of the Ideas blog post was a note about “Stadium Tour” being immediately disqualified. Not only was the project disqualified, it is being actively removed from the website and LEGO.com is trying to scrub its existence entirely. Here’s the reason given why it was removed for consideration:
Unfortunately, we’ve had to remove one of the submissions titled “Stadium Tour” that had reached 10,000 supporters.
When submitting creations based on intellectual properties it is imperative that members follow the guidelines for intellectual properties that we have, including listing whether or not a submission is based on such if that is the case.
There’s a cached version of the page from Google. Except when you try and view it, LEGO.com forces you to a 404 page. If you hit the escape at the right time though, you can get the page to load before being forwarded. Here’s the description of the project from the cache:
Stadium Tour
Rock concert scene consisting of 6 members 2 guitarists 1 bassist 1 keyboardist 1 drummer and 1 singer the es made up of 1493 coins
The scenes can be modulated according to your taste and there is a functional elevator to say goodbye to the public at the end of the concert.
I create them to remind me of the good times spent at the concert when we didn’t have this disease hanging around hoping that soon all this will be behind us.
I hope many of you will like it and that you will vote for my project to title Stadium Tour thank you in advance.
And a screenshot of the actual page.
I can’t find anything about it that violates the rules. The reference to 1493 coins is a bit confusing though. Googling it doesn’t bring up anything music related. Nothing about it screams red flag to me. There is something about this project that LEGO really doesn’t like enough to try and make sure you don’t see it. I can’t figure it out but if you can, let me know.

The Stadium Tour set was based off Rammstein’s 2019 stage setup, seen here:
https://www.loudersound.com/features/the-10-most-ott-rock-and-metal-stage-sets-ever
The so-called Stadium Tour was based on Rammstein https://loudwire.com/rammstein-massive-stage-could-become-lego-set/ however recently they release a VERY explicit video which no doubt led to the disqualification.
I guess not mentioning it was inspired by Rammstein caused its erasure? I don’t know why it couldn’t still live on as a rejected project page.
