LEGO Wants You to Mash Up Marvel and Star Wars

By Tyler, Portal Master Studios · From Issue #2, October 13, 2026

Hope Assembles: Build the Ultimate Mash-Up. LEGO minifigure art of Darth Vader, Thanos, Doctor Doom, Venom, Ultron and stormtroopers

LEGO Ideas just launched Hope Assembles, a fan design contest that crosses Star Wars with Marvel Comics to celebrate 50 years of A New Hope. There are three challenges (characters, vehicles and scenes), and the winning design from each becomes an official LEGO Ideas set. The catch: the Star Wars side has to come from A New Hope only, and the Marvel side has to come from the comics, not the movies. Builds need to be 400 to 3,000 pieces, no AI-made images, and entries close November 12. Doctor Doom running the Death Star feels like a lock. If you enter, post your build in the Discord and I might feature it here. Source
