• Incorporate customization, with the elements for customization included in your entry
• Accommodate at least 4 Minifigures
• Be compatible with both Minifigures and Minidolls

LEGO Ideas Test Lab, first launched in 2017 and revived in 2022, is an experimental platform where new features, functionalities, designs, and experiences intended for LEGO Ideas are tested.

Participants must be at least 18 years old. Legal restrictions prohibit residents of certain countries from participating. Eligible individuals will have access to the Test Lab platform.

Starting today, you can view the BrickLink Studio palette and begin building! Submissions will be accepted from May 9th to May 23rd, 2023. A public vote between May 25th and June 8th will assist the judging team in understanding the community’s preferences, with the judging process commencing on June 8th.

If your design is chosen, it will be available for purchase through the Pick and Build hub on LEGO.com. Selected users will receive $1,500 USD (pre-tax). You can also explore the winning designs from the first Pick a Brick pilot challenge, now available for purchase through the Pick a Brick Hub.
