First of all, happy new year 2025!
Second, with the release if a Narnia film coming closer and closer, do you think there is a possibility for there to be Lego Narnia sets to help with advertising. I feel like it is the right demographic for Narnia and am surprised they were not done for the Walden films
@dufflepuduk We've had a couple of previous discussions about Narnia Lego sets, including one person who created one as a potential Lego Ideas set — unfortunately it didn't get produced. I'm also surprised there has never been an official set, considering they've done Lego LOTR, Harry Potter and Star Wars!
I've just had a look for the previous threads:

The Wardrobe Set set on that link has been resubmitted to the current round of the Lego Ideas competition again. Last time it picked up the necessary 10,000.votes required to make it through to the selection round, and seemed to be popular with both the fans and the staff on the website. However, ultimately it didn't get picked up, and only one set from that round got selected - therefore its either an idea which doesn't interest the company all that much, or there is a legal issue standing in the way.
Either way, if you felt like backing the set again, you can find the new link here:

I'm surprised there hasn't already been any Narnia Lego sets! I can picture it now, the various characters and scenes for LWW. I don't collect Lego, but I'd be a little tempted by that set. Shame the one mentioned above didn't get picked up. (Edit: Actually looked at the link and the set looks great!)
Perhaps it can happen this time around...?

Ooh, great to know! I'm surprised the creator of it, @reepicheep900, didn't come back here and tell us he was submitting it again (he started one of the threads that I posted a link to earlier).
Anyway, I've given it my vote.

Thank you all for your support for a 2nd attempt! I haven't had time to share the project many places, so I was excited to see it already mentioned here!
I didn't receive any type of detailed reason from LEGO as to why the first version wasn't selected, so I thought it would be worth trying one more time. That and many project supporters reached out asking me to resubmit. Thanks again!

I'm kind of surprised (but also not surprised) that Lego don't provide feedback - in particular I think they should be much more upfront about licensing issues.
For example, every time I ever look on Lego Ideas there are at least 4 or 5 "Skrek's Swamp" sets that have made it through to the selection round - Lego should just put the poor old Shrek fans out of their misery and level with them about why they can't acquire the rights or whatever it is that means they never pick it up.
Also for what is worth, I've seen a few previews of the final design for the "Twilight Cullen House" (the idea that was the sole winner in your round) kicking around on Instagram, and I am still just as baffled as to why that got picked up. I thought perhaps they were going to really lean in on the whole Architecture thing, however if anything they've made it look even more like a regular boring contemporary house. I don't really see it appealing to either fans of houses, or fans of Twilight, but maybe that's just me.
