The design of the Voltron: Legendary Defender set originated as a fan-petitioned product on the company's platform for sharing ideas. The detailed collectible LEGO is based on the iconic animated series, the first episode of which aired back in September of 1984. A [Netflix](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-x-stranger-things) remake has been launched, however, the rich nostalgia of the show could not be communicated had the design of the collectible LEGO been informed by the 2016 version. The Voltron: Legendary Defender set stands 15 inches tall and offers avid collectors a challenge with a whopping number of 2,321 pieces, making it "one of the biggest mech-based sets LEGO has ever produced." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/toys) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Crowd-sourced Collectibles:** There is an opportunity for businesses to engage with their audience and create unique products through crowd-sourced design. - **Nostalgia-driven Design:** Creating products that tap into nostalgic feelings can resonate with consumers and drive sales. - **Complex Construction:** Developing intricate and challenging construction sets can attract avid collectors and enthusiasts. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Toy Manufacturing:** The toy manufacturing industry can benefit from crowd-sourced ideas to produce collectible items. - **Animation and Entertainment:** Animation and entertainment companies can explore leveraging nostalgic properties to create product collaborations. - **Online Platforms and Communities:** Building online platforms and communities that allow for crowd engagement and idea sharing can foster innovation in various industries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fandom-Honoring Building Block Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fandomhonoring-building-block-sets.md) - [Building Block Art Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-project-create-together.md) - [Medieval Building Block Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lion-knights-castle.md) - [Sci-Fi Large-Scale Block Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ucs-death-star.md) - [Sophisticated Sci-Fi Toy Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-ultimate-collectors-series-atat.md) - [Sci-Fi Series Toy Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-x-stranger-things.md) - [Hero-Inspired Armored Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hulkbuster.md) - [Detailed Superhero Building Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-marvel-avengers-tower.md) - [Oversized Superhero Statue Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-iron-man-hulkbuster.md)
