4 months in the past, a Lego fan earned round half one million {dollars} when Lego put his limited-edition set on sale. Now, Lego is opening orders for spherical two of the BrickLink Designer Program at 8am PT / 11am ET on Thursday, June sixth — that includes 5 extra limited-edition units, every a fan’s dream come true.
They’re charming, quaint, appear to be great playsets, and the fan designers will get 5 p.c of the proceeds from every sale! My eye’s on the extremely detailed Brick Cross Practice Station… however spouse and I already splurged on final time’s Parisian Avenue so I’d most likely greatest not!
Prepared for high-res photographs, costs, and designer video interviews round every new set? Right here you go:
I’m in awe of what number of Lego scorching canines have been used within the making of the Ominous Isle’s railings. Wouldn’t need any pirates to fall into the drink! There’s a dial to make that cranium gate open, too.

One in every of my British colleagues says: “It’s so cute! Captures loads of the appropriate vibes to me, at the very least having continuously handed by means of all of London’s main stations.” I am keen on it.
I can not take a look at this and never consider Again to the Future Half III. I have to put the Lego Cuusoo DeLorean on this railway.
As I present you in my video under for an earlier BrickLink set, these units are available particular BrickLink bins with out paper directions, and Lego’s personal designers don’t have a lot of a job — however they’re produced in a Lego manufacturing facility, shipped by Lego, fabricated from official Lego bricks, and Lego workers select the 5 winners of every fan competitors after fan voting is over.
Anybody can enter the BrickLink Designer Program, not like some earlier Lego challenges!
The Lego Concepts program, by comparability, does put fan designs on sale at retail, paper directions and all, however Lego’s designers choose far fewer units — every of which undergo a painstaking course of to revise these units for the plenty. You may learn my function story about how that works.
