One of the fun things about Lego is its Ideas initiative, which allows fans to submit concepts for sets that could eventually be turned into official products. Arguably one of the neatest suggestions last year was for none other than the iMac G3, which was produced by a user named terauma.
The roughly 700-piece set was praised by fans for its slick and faithful recreation of the late ’90s computer, which includes a mouse and keyboard, a macOS boot screen and visible cathode ray tubes and circuit boards.
Now, several months later, this Mac concept is one step closer to becoming reality. As part of its third round of 2025 Ideas, Lego revealed that terauma’s iMac G3 proposal secured at least 10,000 votes to move to the “Parking Lot” stage, which means it is now under a more intensive review from Lego to determine if it will become an actual product.
Of course, there’s no guarantee that this will happen, especially since Lego would have to negotiate a deal with Apple. Still, the fact that terauma’s concept has already gotten this far is promising. Lego’s success in working out arrangements with the likes of Nintendo (a company that has historically been decidedly restrained in licensing its properties) is also noteworthy.
