Lego iMac? Please don’t block it, Apple

If you’re a Mac fan who’s always wanted Lego to commemorate Apple’s most iconic Mac, your dream may soon become a reality. Lego recently announced that the proposal for an iMac G3 Lego brick set has officially moved to “Parking Lot” status, where the company is giving further thought to its implementation before deciding on production.

In August 2025, a fan named Terauma submitted a mock-up of the 1998 Bondi Blue iMac made from Lego bricks to Lego’s Ideas website, where fans could vote for the project to move forward. Lego reviews ideas if at least 10,000 fans vote for it.

The proposed set would consist of 700 pieces and would not only recreate the turquoise-blue all-in-one (whose components are clearly visible through the transparent casing), but also the essential accessories such as the circular mouse, matching keyboard, and cables.

Lego’s review board will now evaluate the proposal. According to Lego, “Any Product Idea that needs additional time after a review round, for whatever reason, will be placed into the Parking Lot until we can make a final decision.” In this case, the review will likely include discussions with Apple, who would need to grant Lego permission to do the project.

Two years ago, a proposed Apple Store Lego set made it to the Parking Lot but was eventually dropped. Lego did not disclose why, but considering Apple’s history with how it handles its brand image, the consensus that Apple denied a license probably isn’t far off. Based on history, it doesn’t look good for the Lego iMac, but perhaps a new incoming Apple CEO will have a change of heart.

In the mid-1990s, Apple had fallen into a crisis that threatened its very existence. The iMac is credited with saving the company. Although the ill-fated CEO Gil Amelio had initiated the iMac project, it was completed by Steve Jobs upon his return to the company, and a young British designer named Jony Ive. It was no coincidence that the iMac harkened to the 1984 Macintosh.

Lego is no stranger to technology-based sets, having recently released Nintendo, Game Boy, and Super Mario Bros. themed sets.
