Turn Back Time with the Retro-Inspired LEGO® Ideas Minifigure Vending Machine Set

The LEGO Group announces the launch of the LEGO® Ideas Minifigure Vending Machine set; a retro-inspired building set that brings a blast from the past to life in brick form. Designed for adults who love vintage style, creative design, and classic LEGO charm, this buildable vending machine is a conversation-starting display piece.

With 1,343 pieces, this collectible set invites fans to take a trip down memory lane. Simply insert the included LEGO coin, turn the handle, and release one of 16 colorful capsules, each containing bricks to build a minifigure. Each figure is a delightful surprise, featuring nostalgic themes like Castle, Paradisa, and Fabuland, as well as Classic Space explorers and even the LEGO Ideas Fan Designer who uploaded the product idea to www.ideas.LEGO.com

This functional brick-built vending machine enhances the excitement of the blind bag concept, captivating audiences with the thrill of discovery. It offers dedicated collectors exclusive, nostalgic minifigures while providing an engaging building experience, making it an ideal gift for both passionate enthusiasts and casual builders.

The LEGO Ideas Minifigure Vending Machine set was submitted by Belgium-based Fan Designer, Rob Vangansewinkel, as part of the LEGO Ideas programme. LEGO Ideas allows fans to submit product ideas, which are then voted for by the community before being considered to be made into a real LEGO set. Talking about his design, Rob said, “As a kid, I had a real vending machine at home and loved it - so the idea of creating a working LEGO brick version that dispenses minifigures just clicked. I started with a digital version of the model and posted it on LEGO Ideas. But I wasn’t sure if the dispensing mechanism would really work, so I spent about two months testing and refining the design with actual LEGO bricks. I even took apart my old vending machine to understand the mechanics and make it work, and I’m so proud of the final product”.

The set blends clever LEGO building techniques with a true-to-life vending mechanism, complete with a satisfying click as you turn the knob. Builders can enjoy recreating every detail of this miniature machine, from its rounded glass-top styling to its playful functionality. Its immersive building experience combines retro charm with nostalgic appeal - perfect for display in any home or office setting.
