LEGO fans can build a vending machine that dispenses Minifigures
The LEGO Group has announced the launch of the LEGO Ideas Minifigure Vending Machine set; a retro-inspired building set designed for adults - with 1,343 pieces. I insert the included LEGO coin, turn the handle, and release one of 16 capsules, each containing bricks to build a minifigure. Each figure is a 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 The functional brick-built vending machine offers collectors exclusive, nostalgic minifigures. 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. 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 LEGO building techniques with a true-to-life vending mechanism, complete with a click as you turn the knob. The LEGO Ideas Minifigure Vending Machine set is available for LEGO Insiders early access from June 1, 2025, and for all from June 6, via and LEGO Stores, priced at € 169.99 / £ 149.99 / $ 179.99.
