The details of the “BrickLink Designer Program” Series 3, a project where fan creations are packaged and sold through crowdfunding, hosted by “BrickLink,” a parts trading and database site operated by the LEGO® Group, have been announced on the official homepage.
A wide range of works, from grand pieces to heartwarming creations, are lined up, including medieval works, a chocolate factory, and family camping, so be sure to check them out.
BrickLink Designer Program Series 3
The crowdfunding schedule and prices for the BrickLink Designer Program Series 3, where you can purchase LEGO® fan creations, have been announced on the BrickLink official homepage.
Here’s the English translation of the provided text, maintaining the HTML tags:
This time, five creations will be put up for crowdfunding, and if the number of orders exceeds 3,000, they will be packaged and sold under the BrickLink brand.
If the number of orders is less than 3,000, the set won’t be sold, but this is unlikely to happen, so you can be almost certain that whichever creation you order will be available for purchase.
Crowdfunding Schedule
The crowdfunding start time is 8:00 AM Pacific Time on October 8, 2024.
The order limit for each creation is 30,000 units, but there may be regional allocations, so it’s recommended to purchase immediately upon release if you definitely want one.
Recent trends show that there’s a considerable difference in how quickly popular creations sell out compared to less popular ones, but it’s best to purchase the creation you’re interested in without worrying about that.
