Apple Faces Backlash Over Blocked Lego iMac 2024

Apple Faces Backlash Over Blocked Lego iMac 2024

Lego has placed the proposed iMac G3 set into a review stage, indicating that the company is still evaluating the idea before deciding whether to move forward with production.

In August 2025, a fan named Terauma submitted a mock‑up of the 1998 Bondi Blue iMac to the Lego Ideas platform, where community members can vote for projects to advance.

To qualify for development, a proposal must receive at least 10,000 votes. The envisioned set would contain 700 pieces and would replicate the turquoise‑blue all‑in‑one computer, its transparent casing, and essential accessories such as a circular mouse, matching keyboard, and cables.

Lego’s review board will assess the proposal, and the decision may involve discussions with Apple to secure the necessary licensing rights.

A similar Apple Store set was previously placed on hold and ultimately dropped, a move that experts believe was due to licensing challenges with Apple.

The iMac played a pivotal role in revitalizing Apple during a period of crisis in the mid‑1990s. Its design, completed by Steve Jobs and Jony Ive, echoed the legacy of the 1984 Macintosh.

Lego has a history of producing technology‑themed sets, including recent releases based on Nintendo, Game Boy, and Super Mario Bros.

At present, the iMac G3 set remains under review, and the final outcome has not yet been announced.
