4 months in the past, a Lego fan earned round half 1,000,000 {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 like fantastic 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 Road so I’d in all probability 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.

Certainly one of my British colleagues says: “It’s so cute! Captures lots of the fitting vibes to me, not less than having incessantly handed by all of London’s main stations.” I like it.
I can not have a look at this and never consider Again to the Future Half III. I must 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 in particular BrickLink containers 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 staff select the 5 winners of every fan competitors after fan voting is over.
Anybody can enter the BrickLink Designer Program, in contrast to 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 lots. You’ll be able to learn my characteristic story about how that works.
