A Lego Metroid set has been uploaded to Lego Ideas and, if enough people vote for it, could become a reality. 

This Metroid inspired build features Samus, her gunship, and a fully constructible and poseable Ridley. It also includes two moveable stud shooters, a secret door that Samus can drop out of as a Morph Ball, and so much more.

Several popular Nintendo IPs have been proposed on the ideas platform since the official Super Mario Lego was launched in August 2020. This includes an “Animal Crossing: New Horizons Paradise”, Hyrule Castle from The Legend of Zelda, and Kirby’s Dreamland Kingdom which gives the famously round pink blob a blockier build. 

Even fans of Untitled Goose Game had previously attempted to get a themed set developed, however, despite getting the attention it needed to succeed, Lego decided to pass on the idea. 

When asked in the FAQ’s section of the product idea page if this project was a response to the Super Mario Lego, the ‘Metroid: Samus Aran's Gunship’ creator known as L-DI-EGO responded: “It was never intended to be an Ideas project, actually. I have no idea if the Super Mario licensed theme may have a positive or negative impact in the evaluation, performance or outcome of this project.”

Here's hoping it gets the votes needed to come to fruition.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
