Lucy Maud Montgomery’s red-haired dreamer has officially entered the brick-built spotlight. A LEGO® Ideas project inspired by Anne of Green Gables just hit the magical 10,000 supporter mark, securing its spot in the next review round. That’s no small feat in the Ideas ecosystem, where competition is fierce and nostalgia is practically its own currency.
A Story in Bricks
Fan designer Iyan ha packed 2,935 pieces into a faithful recreation of Green Gables, the farmhouse where Anne Shirley spun daydreams and accidentally dyed her hair green. It’s more than walls and roofs though. Surrounding the home are iconic moments pulled straight from the novel, letting the model double as a stage for storytelling.
Minifigures With Depth
Of course, no proper LEGO® Ideas pitch skips the minifigures. Here we get Anne Shirley herself alongside Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert, Diana Barry, and Gilbert Blythe. Each character grounds the set in the novel’s universe while adding that collectible minifigure magic that keeps fans hitting the support button.
From Avonlea to Billund
This build is now under review at LEGO® HQ in Billund. Will it become an official set? Hard to say. Literary adaptations can be tricky, but Ideas has proven before that if you combine timeless IP with a dedicated fanbase, strange things happen. Remember Winnie the Pooh? Exactly.
Final Thought
A book once bound by ink now sits on a different shelf entirely: the LEGO® shelf. If the review gods smile, Anne’s world might soon stand next to Winnie the Pooh and Peter Pan in brick form. Until then, it’s a waiting game.
Would you buy a LEGO® Anne of Green Gables set if it passed review, or does literature belong in libraries, not on shelves of bricks?
