"Lego is asking Yu-Gi-Oh fans to design its first potential set based on the card game anime, meaning 30 years after the manga originally launched, -pilled millennials might finally be get to duel in Lego form. Anime could end up being the next lucrative frontier for the company's licensed brick empire. The toy company has announced a contest for fans to submit ideas for a buildable set, but it has a few rules and regulations that will narrow down the eligible designs."
"The examples Lego gives include models of characters and their trademark monsters, such as Yugi and the Dark Magician or Kaiba and his Blue-Eyes White Dragon. Dioramas of iconic duels from the anime, or a standalone monster, are also allowed. Lego is specifically looking for ideas based on the Battle City and Duelist Kingdom tournament arcs from the original anime."
"That's all well and good, but I'm surprised Lego isn't taking an obvious route and releasing a Millennium Puzzle Lego set when Yugi literally builds his signature pyramid pendant that he wears around his neck like an actual Lego. Maybe if this contest takes off Lego will consider other Yu-Gi-Oh models. That one seems like a no-brainer. Still, the focus on the original anime series does make it sound like Lego is targeting older fans who grew up with the classic cards and characters."
Lego has announced a contest inviting fans to submit buildable Yu-Gi-Oh set designs focused on the Battle City and Duelist Kingdom arcs. Eligible ideas can include character models with their trademark monsters, dioramas of iconic duels, or standalone monsters. Each submission must contain between 400 and 2000 pieces. The contest includes rules and regulations that will narrow eligible designs. The move targets older fans of the original anime and could expand Lego’s licensed offerings in anime. Some fans suggest a Millennium Puzzle set as an obvious release option, noting Yugi builds the pendant like Lego. These large, elaborate sets tend to be expensive and targeted at adult collectors. Submissions are open until March 10.
