When you’re a Mac fan who’s at all times needed Lego to commemorate Apple’s most iconic Mac, your dream might quickly develop into a actuality. Lego just lately introduced that the proposal for an iMac G3 Lego brick set has formally moved to “Parking Lot” standing, the place the corporate is giving additional thought to its implementation earlier than deciding on manufacturing.
In August 2025, a fan named Terauma submitted a mock-up of the 1998 Bondi Blue iMac constituted of Lego bricks to Lego’s Concepts web site, the place followers might vote for the mission to maneuver ahead. Lego critiques concepts if a minimum of 10,000 followers vote for it.
The proposed set would include 700 items and wouldn’t solely recreate the turquoise-blue all-in-one (whose elements are clearly seen by the clear casing), but additionally the important equipment such because the round mouse, matching keyboard, and cables.
Lego’s overview board will now consider the proposal. Based on Lego, “Any Product Concept that wants further time after a overview spherical, for no matter cause, will probably be positioned into the Parking Lot till we are able to make a remaining determination.” On this case, the overview will doubtless embrace discussions with Apple, who would wish to grant Lego permission to do the mission.
Two years in the past, a proposed Apple Retailer Lego set made it to the Parking Lot however was finally dropped. Lego didn’t disclose why, however contemplating Apple’s historical past with the way it handles its model picture, the consensus that Apple denied a license in all probability isn’t far off. Primarily based on historical past, it doesn’t look good for the Lego iMac, however maybe a new incoming Apple CEO can have a change of coronary heart.
Within the mid-Nineties, Apple had fallen right into a disaster that threatened its very existence. The iMac is credited with saving the corporate. Though the ill-fated CEO Gil Amelio had initiated the iMac mission, it was accomplished by Steve Jobs upon his return to the corporate, and a younger British designer named Jony Ive. It was no coincidence that the iMac harkened to the 1984 Macintosh.
Lego is not any stranger to technology-based units, having just lately launched Nintendo, Sport Boy, and Tremendous Mario Bros. themed units.
