Star Wars meets Marvel: In the LEGO Ideas contest “Hope Assembles, ” fans can design their own crossover models. The LEGO Ideas team has published additional answers to questions from the community and shared a recording of a Q&A session. For anyone who wants to participate, one date is especially important: November 12, 2026.
Three Categories and a Chance to Win an Official Set
The campaign includes three contests: Characters, Scenes, and Vehicles. The call is for building ideas that creatively combine motifs from Marvel and Star Wars: A New Hope. Not every character in a design has to be a blend of both worlds. What matters is that the entire submission features a recognizable crossover.
Of particular interest: According to the LEGO Ideas team, submissions that make it to the fan voting round in the three contests are generally eligible to be produced as official LEGO sets. This is by no means a guarantee that every finalist model will be produced.
LEGO Ideas has clarified these details
- A reference to the Arc Reactor is permitted.
- The well-known Avengers Tower must be treated as Stark Tower in the contest entry.
- Banthas and the Hulkbuster count as characters under the contest rules, not as vehicles.
- Individual, unmodified characters from Marvel or Star Wars may also appear, as long as the submission as a whole connects both universes.
These details are especially important for participants who want to categorize their idea under a specific category. Be sure to read the complete official rules before submitting your entry.
When is the deadline for entries?
According to the published schedule, the submission deadline is November 12, 2026. The official LEGO Ideas website provides competition information and a recording of the Q&A session. Participants should also check there to see which technical requirements and terms and conditions apply to their design.

What does this mean for LEGO collectors?
The contest is primarily a creative fan initiative, not an announcement of finished Star Wars or Marvel sets. Whether—and which—model will actually be released later remains to be seen. If you want to keep track of existing sets from both themes, you can find current Deals in the Brick-Tracker Deal Overview and manage your Wishlist via the Brick-Tracker app.
