The five finalist projects of the reboot du Bricklink Designer Program, entitled Series 1, were selected from among the 375 proposals in the running following the vote launched last March.

As expected, the pre-order phase for these five products will not begin before February 2024. The sets which will collect at least 3000 pre-orders will be produced in 20.000 copies and will be deliverable in the third quarter of 2024. It will therefore be necessary to demonstrate a lot of patience. In the meantime, the creators of these various projects will have plenty of time to revise them to make them comply with LEGO requirements.

Let's go for the voting phase of the reboot du Bricklink Designer Program, entitled Series 1, with 375 proposals in the running that are just waiting for your support to hope to one day become a quasi-official set.

The methodology is simple, all you have to do is show your more or less supported support or your indifference for one or more of the proposals using one of the three available smileys. You have until March 31 to support your favorite creations, but keep in mind that this public vote will not be the only one to influence the choice of creations that will go further in the process, "internal" selection criteria will be at work to sort out the various proposals with the most support before moving on to the crowdfunding phase.

The five selected creations will be announced at the end of May 2023 and the pre-order phase will not begin before February 2024. The sets which will collect at least 3000 pre-orders will be produced in 20.000 copies and will be deliverable in the third quarter of 2024. it will therefore be necessary to demonstrate a lot of patience.

If you want to take part in the selection of the competing projects, it's at this address that it happens. At this stage, your clicks do not commit you, you can go frankly.

Otherwise, I am also hosting live all of the instructions available so far via the links below:

The instructions for the five products resulting from the third wave of crowdfunding of the Bricklink Designer Program are now available for download in PDF format. If it is the assembly of these different creations that interests you more than the fact of owning the products in your collection, you can now retrieve the files that will allow you to build these five proposals. Note that there are no ""official" paper versions of these instructions, even those who have purchased these different sets must go through the download or be satisfied with the digital version integrated into the official application.

Even if you don't plan to get started right away, feel free to download and store the affected files, it's unclear how long Bricklink expects to keep them available and they're not live. on the service which usually allows you to recover the instructions for the official sets.

Instructions are available digitally in the official LEGO app. The most courageous will perhaps try to have these files printed by an online service, several brands offer this type of service, even individually, with a nice paperback booklet on arrival.

You can click directly on the links below to retrieve the PDF files concerned:

Nothing to say, it is once again visually very successful and those who participated in the financing of these different sets and who are waiting to receive their copy(s) should not be disappointed. For the others, it will eventually be necessary to go through the secondary market and the note may be really very high.

It was predictable: LEGO decided that the invitational pilot initiative around the Bricklink Designer Program 2021 was convincing enough to perpetuate it and make it a sustainable business tool.

The manufacturer is therefore launching the 1st series of what must become a regular program on the Bricklink platform with a defined schedule as indicated below and some subtle modifications compared to the previous edition:
