On Reddit, a user named FourBricksTall created a series of concept renderings and builds for a “LEGOStardew ValleyFarmhouse” kit, with the player character and some of the game’s NPCs being featured as LEGO figurines. The pitch was posted on the r/StardewValley subreddit as well as on the LEGO Ideas forum for fan submissions. FourBricksTall stated that LEGO kits based on TV shows such asSeinfeldand even the Korean pop group BTS were pitched originally on LEGO Ideas before becoming a reality. Other games such asGenshin Impacthave recently received LEGO pitchesfrom fans as well.
With support from otherStardew Valleyfans, and the support of ConcernedApe himself, the “LEGOStardew ValleyFarmhouse” concept received over 10,000 supporters on March 28. As a result, it proceeded to the next step, which is an official review by LEGO kit developers and executives. The review period is tentatively scheduled to begin in May 2023 and could take several months, according to LEGO. Given the fact that the farmhouse isthe starting point for allStardew Valleyplayers, it seems to be the perfect starting point for a potential series of LEGOStardew Valleykits.
Though ConcernedApe remains busy withthe development ofHaunted Chocolatier, the fact that he supported the project may help towards its potential approval. FourBricksTall stated that approval of the initialStardew Valleykit has to take place before any add-ons could be made to it, including figurines of Juminos and other characters. Only time will tell if the project gets the green light from LEGO.
Stardew Valleyis available now for Android, iOS, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
