Overview

  • The LEGO Ideas Minifigure Vending Machine, designed by fan Rob Vangansewinkel, will be available for early access to LEGO Insiders starting June 1, 2025, with a public release on June 4.
  • The set includes 1,343 pieces and features a working vending machine mechanism that dispenses one of 16 collectible minifigures when a LEGO coin is inserted and the handle is turned.
  • The minifigures draw on nostalgic LEGO themes such as Castle, Paradisa, Fabuland, and Classic Space, with one figure representing the fan-designer himself.
  • Priced at $180 USD, the set highlights LEGO’s focus on interactive builds and community-driven product development through its LEGO Ideas platform.
  • The vending machine design was refined over months of testing by Vangansewinkel, who drew inspiration from a real vending machine he owned as a child.
