The BrickLink Designer Program is a crowdfunding program ran through BrickLink where a selection of sets designed by Lego fans are produced for a limited time.

Contents

Builders use BrickLink Studio to create models which are then submitted. After a voting process and review, five designs are selected, which are then crowdfunded into production and pre-ordered for a limited period of time. [1]

History and production

In December 2022, BrickLink announced that the program would begin with Series 1 in 2023. Builders use BrickLink Studio to create models which are then submitted. After a voting process and review, five designs are selected, which are then crowdfunded into production and pre-ordered for a limited period of time. Pre-order for the first series began in 2024. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] Some designs rejected from Series 1 had their instructions sold as part of a program called the MOC Pop-Up Store. [10]

In 2025, production numbers for Series 5 saw a capacity increase beyond the usual 30,000. [11] [12] The program has become notable for the popularity of medieval and Lego Castle-themed builds within it. [13] [14]
