Speaking about the creative journey, Ivan Guerrero said:
As a long-time fan of the LEGO Group and Sesame Street, it has been a dream come true to be able to merge my two passions into a memorable set for fellow builders to enjoy.
LEGO bricks and Sesame Street shaped both my childhood and adult years, and the opportunity to work with the LEGO Ideas team to bring this quintessential New York street to life has been thrilling.
Federico Begher, VP of Global Marketing at The LEGO Group added:
We were instantly drawn to Ivan’s idea, as we had never created an official LEGO product with Sesame Street before. It was clear from the submission that Ivan is passionate about Sesame Street and he really brought it to life with the wide array of characters and bright, classic colours.
For the first time in the history of LEGO Ideas, we also had the opportunity to create brand new minifigures for a set – bringing something new and exciting to our LEGO fans.
Knowing the impact Sesame Street has had on the world for decades, sharing similar values with generations past and present, this felt like an exciting way to blend novelty with nostalgia, and pay homage to the truly iconic 123 Sesame Street through LEGO Ideas.
I absolutely adored this set but you’ll certainly have to becareful as there are a few loose items in this set that aren’t bricked together.
Surpised by this I was extra careful not to lose anything!
Overall the build took just over 3 hours of my time so not too bad for a set such as this and the vibrant detailing throughout has this set standing out a mile in whichever area it is displayed in.
