Almost all of us here are used to buying our LEGO licensed books in English, either because we master this language sufficiently to benefit from the content offered or because we only want the exclusive minifig associated with the book and the language matters to us. little.

But if you want to offer one of these books to a young fan, know that some of these works are translated into French, sometimes as soon as the English version is released but often a few months after the publication of the reference edition, and that you You can therefore please with content that can be easily used by anyone who has a little difficulty with the language of Shakespeare.

The five finalist projects of the third wave (Series 3) of the Bricklink Designer Program reboot were selected from more than 180 competing proposals following the vote launched last October.

As with each wave, you will have to show a lot of patience if some of these products interest you: the pre-order phase for these five products will not begin before October 2024 and the sets which collect at least 3000 pre-orders will be produced in 20.000 copies and will be produced in March 2025.

Bricklink announces a delay of approximately six months between the pre-order phase and delivery of the products to buyers, we can therefore envisage having the sets in our hands at the beginning of June 2025 if all goes well. No reissue planned, two sets maximum per household and per reference.

In the meantime, the creators of these different projects will have plenty of time to rework them to make them comply with LEGO requirements, Bricklink indicating that this adaptation phase will last between December 1, 2023 and September 1, 2024.

If you find what you are looking for in fan creations and you like to reproduce the designs proposed, know that 9 new creations have just been integrated into what is now called the Bricklink MOC Pop-up Store, a temporary initiative which allows those who have failed in the different phases of the Bricklink Designer Program to make a little money by selling their works via the platform. There are now 50 models available in this pop-up store since the announcement of the first 41 products to be available on the shelves last September.

You can choose to purchase only the instructions in digital format for your favorite creations or pay for the entire inventory needed to assemble them with a mix of Bricklink stores and parts supplied directly by LEGO via its Pick a Brick service. The ordering process is necessarily a little laborious, it begins with the automatic selection of Bricklink stores having the parts necessary for the assembly of the construction in question depending on your geographical location and the system then possibly combines the purchase in certain of these stores with an additional order of parts from the LEGO Shop via the Pick a Brick service.

LEGO specifies that the selected creations have been checked to ensure that all of the inventory necessary for their assembly is available via Bricklink or the Pick a Brick service but adds that these constructions have not been controlled by the designers of the brand to adapt them to LEGO quality standards as is the case for the products of the Bricklink Designer Program.

This temporary offer, which has a test value, will be available until mid-November 2023.

LEGO continues to recycle rejected creations as part of the Bricklink Designer Program by inventing the MOC Pop-up Store, a virtual store which allows you to purchase some of these constructions obviously by prioritizing the stock of the platform's parts sellers.

On the program for this test phase, 41 creations selected from among the entries which had not been selected during the first two phases of the reboot of the Bricklink Designer Program and which are therefore now available for purchase, instructions in PDF format included, with a mix of Bricklink stores and parts supplied directly by LEGO through its Pick a Brick service.

You then have the choice of the least expensive combination or the one that requires placing fewer separate orders to bring together the entire inventory of the product. In all cases, the bill is rather steep from the start with big price fluctuations depending on your choice of stores and that's without taking into account the shipping costs invoiced by the different sellers which will be estimated before ordering and adjusted After validation. These creations are obviously delivered in bulk, without box or paper instruction booklet.
