The fan-built Miraculous Miracle Box had 2,274 pieces and a lid that opens like the show's. LEGO passed on it, along with 91 other projects, and approved just three.
LEGO won't be making the Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir set that fans pushed past 10,000 votes this spring.
The LEGO Ideas team posted results from its First 2026 Review on Monday, Nov. 9, The Brick Fan reported. Only three of the 97 qualifying fan projects passed. CBR followed Tuesday with LEGO's message to the Miraculous builder.
The project, called Chinese Miracle Box, came from a fan designer who goes by Munzel. LEGO's note was short. The Review Board "decided that we will not produce this Product Idea as a set."
The build was a brick version of the Miracle Box that Marinette guards in the show. It used 2,274 pieces, opened from the lid like the cartoon version, and hid tiny Miraculous jewels in sliding drawers, CBR and brick.news reported. It joined the review in April, right after hitting 10,000 supporters.
Which LEGO Ideas sets were approved?
Three projects will become real LEGO Ideas sets, per The Brick Fan:
Tulip Field Windmill by HisBrickMaterials
Interstellar by Minibrick41587, based on the 2014 Christopher Nolan movie
Chinese Cork Carving Art by GenericBrix
Brickset's tracker already slots all three into the third quarter of 2027. LEGO hasn't set prices or dates.
Two more went to LEGO's "Parking Lot," which means no yes and no no yet. Those are The 5th Element Korben Dallas Taxi by MarinBrickDesign and a Plants vs. Zombies Peashooter by DistinguishedCrow. Parking Lot projects usually wait on licensing or timing.
Brick Fanatics counted 92 rejections. That's every other project in the round.
Which Disney projects did LEGO turn down?
Miraculous fans aren't alone in the sad corner. Several Disney fan builds were in this same review and didn't make the cut:
Gravity Falls: The Mystery Shack by On The Brickside, about 2,900 pieces and 11 minifigures, per StoneWars
Kim Possible by teljesnegyzet, about 1,165 pieces
Muppet Theatre: The Complete Playset by LEE40, about 4,000 pieces and 18 minifigures
Kingdom Hearts: Hollow Bastion by Twilight Brix
Two separate My Neighbor Totoro builds, a Chihiro and No-Face piggy bank, Thomas the Tank Engine, The Polar Express and Pusheen With Pizza also got passed over. Rough day for the cozy crowd.
Where can you watch Miraculous Ladybug?
Disney is the show's U.S. home. New Season 6 episodes of Miraculous returned Feb. 28, 2026, on Disney Channel and Disney XD, BSCkids reported. The first 13 Season 6 episodes stream on Disney+, along with the special Miraculous World: Tokyo, Stellar Force.
So there's plenty of Ladybug to watch. You just can't build her box.
Fans do have one more shot. A separate fan project, Marinette's House, is listed as "In Review" on the LEGO Ideas site right now. LEGO hasn't said which review round it's in.
How does LEGO Ideas work?
Anyone 16 or older can post a fan design on LEGO Ideas. It needs 10,000 supporters to qualify for review, and it has to hit milestones along the way: 100 supporters in 60 days, then 1,000 within a year, then 5,000 and 10,000 within about six months each, per LEGO's guidelines.
LEGO reviews qualified projects three times a year. If a project wins, the fan designer gets credit on the box, 1% of net sales and 10 free copies. If it loses, LEGO sends a gift of up to three products worth up to $500. Not bad for a rejection letter.
What's next for LEGO Ideas?
The Second 2026 Review closed in September with 92 qualifying projects, Brickset reported. That round includes two Disney builds: The Emperor's New Groove: Kuzco's Palace and Treasure Planet: The RLS Legacy. A Ratatouille-inspired "Remy the Little Chef" build is in there, too.
Earlier winners are still on the way. Brickset lists Power Rangers and a Smurf Village among the approved sets due in early 2027, with Edward Scissorhands and Jumanji later in the year. LEGO also announced its LEGO Ideas Godzilla set on Nov. 3, The Brick Fan reported.
Miraculous fans, take heart. Kwamis don't give up, and neither do LEGO Ideas builders.
