LEGO Ideas posted the qualifying projects of the Third 2021 review cycle a couple of days ago. A total of 36 projects made the cut, which I’ve shamelessly copied and pasted below. There are a couple of them that I like: the SR-71 Blackbird, Pirate Tavern, and Sheriff’s Office. I can see the Magic Bookends being selected, but I can also see them being reworked with the final product looking completely different than the submitted idea. This is a pretty nice idea and flexible, meaning that LEGO can make themed bookends for castle, space, octan, or what have you. The only stumbling block I can think of is that they may too close of a product to the Harry Potter Hogwarts Moment sets. I’d be interested to see how that one pans out. Full list below:
