LEGO’s BTS Set Is Finally Out, But The In-Store Decorations Are Even Better
LEGO has been teasing that BTS would be the company’s next great collaboration.
Previously, it was reported that Josh (JBBrickFanatic) and Jacob (BangtanBricks) submitted their design for a LEGO set inspired by BTS’s hit “Dynamite” a couple of years ago via LEGO IDEAS. With ARMYs’ support, it was chosen, and now their vision is a reality.
At first, for the first 27 days or so I had a lot of trouble gaining traction on social media to get the attention of the BTS fandom (Called ARMY) and it was a real struggle to get to 81 supporters. But then one night Josh made a Tik Tok video to promote the set and it went semi-viral. We hit 700 supporters by the next morning and within 24 hours of that, we hit 7K. I believe our project has the largest growth spurt of any ideas project ever. After that, it only took a day or two to get the rest. So it’s hard to say if it took a month or 3 days.

BTS Dynamite (fan made design) has been selected by Lego Ideas to go into production
(Not sure if this means Hybe has already given/sold the permission for use of the IP to Lego Ideas or if that is a step that will come later during the production process) https://t.co/oh1luyvJHL pic.twitter.com/jWCK2H7NAq

I finished the Dynamite Lego.😅 it's really well detailed. There are records in the store that RM was in and drinks and donuts 🍩 inside the donut shop. If you turn it around, you have spotlights and speakers for the concert.😭😭😭😭😭#BTSLEGODynamite #BTS #dynamitelego pic.twitter.com/PRdPdbRimW
