bricklink designer program series 1 lego

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:

  • February 1 -> 28, 2023 : Project submission phase
  • March 7 -> 31, 2023 : Opening of the public voting phase
  • April - May 2023 : Review phase of selected projects
  • End of May 2023 : Announcement of the selected projects
  • February 2024 : Opening of the pre-order phase
  • Summer / Fall 2024 : Production and shipment of products

As you will have understood, it will be necessary to show a lot of patience before being able to have one or more of the projects proposed and validated delivered.

Also be aware that each set that will have to be assembled at least 3000 votes will be produced at 20.000 products and that it will only be possible to buy two copies maximum of the same product.

The presence of stickers will be limited to a maximum of 1 sticker per 250 elements for all sets that will be produced with a limitation of a maximum of 25 unique stickers per product.

Instruction booklets will still be provided digitally and creators will collect royalties of 5% of sales volume. The percentage has therefore halved but the quantity of sets produced per project has doubled.

This series of crowdfunding products, which is therefore set up in a sustainable way, is not intended to one day replace the LEGO Ideas initiative. The Bricklink Designer Program is also and above all a promotional tool for the Studio software, which serves both as a support for digital creation and as a tool for generating the essential assembly instructions.

A one-hour information session will be organized on December 14 at 17:00 p.m. so that all those who wish to embark on this long adventure can discover the rules and take into account the new requirements of the manufacturer concerning the quality of the projects. It is necessary to register in advance at this address but if you cannot attend this Webinar, a recap video will be posted afterwards.
