lego bricklink designer program second wave boxes

If you have an iPhone or iPad, LEGO has updated its dedicated app to the assembly instructions of its products by adding the five boxes from the second crowdfunding phase of the Bricklink Designer Program 2021. We therefore discover the packaging of these different sets all stamped 18+ with their respective boxes:

Nothing to say, it's still 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 very high.

Those who pre-ordered a copy of the set 910027 Mountain View Observatory as part of the third crowdfunding phase of the Bricklink Designer Program had inevitably found that the product was initially announced at 269.99 € but that it actually went to 209.99 € in the basket when ordering via the official online store. Others paid for the product at the expected rate as soon as the error was corrected.

bricklink react today by the voice of one of its managers to reassure all those who took advantage of this error but who fear a possible subsequent cancellation of their order:

Dear all,

Just a brief update to let you know that during BDP Round 3, a technical error caused Mountain View Observatory to sell at a lower than intended price for some customers and full price for others.

The initial amount charged was a temporary hold which will be returned. When we are ready to ship in Spring 2023, all customers will be charged the lower of the two prices displayed.

In short, the amount collected during the pre-order will be refunded when shipping is imminent, the actual invoicing will take place in the spring of 2023 and all purchasers of the product will then benefit from the lowest price offered on the official online store, i.e. 209.99 €.

Let's go for the third wave of sets from the Bricklink Designer Program with nine references whose retail prices range between €109.99 and €339.99. As with the two previous funding phases, only the first five of the nine proposed projects to reach 3000 pre-orders will go into production with a quantity capped at 10.000 copies per reference.

Pre-orders go through the official online store, you accumulate VIP points but you do not take advantage of the current promotional offers and the links below allow you to add the chosen reference directly to your basket:

Update: the five validated products are those above, those that are crossed out are therefore thrown out.

We now know the theoretical public prices of the nine sets that will be in contention on the occasion of the third phase of crowdfunding of the Bricklink Designer Program. As with the two previous crowdfunding phases, only the first five of the nine proposed projects to reach 3000 pre-orders will go into the production phase with a quantity capped at 10.000 copies per reference.

We find in this selection the set Brickwest Studios (3928 pieces) which had been withdrawn from the second round of financing due to the theme of the product which could have been associated with the incident which occurred in the USA on the set of the western Rust. The set has therefore been ready to go into production for many months, it is only waiting to reach the required threshold of 3000 pre-orders.

No date for the opening of pre-orders that will go through the official online store, we have to wait for Bricklink to make an official announcement on this subject.
