All five LEGO BrickLink Series 5 sets funded in minutes
Crowdfunding for the fifth series of the LEGO BrickLink Designer Program is barely underway, but all five sets are funded enough to be produced.
It’s only been 20 minutes since the latest round of LEGO BrickLink Designer Program pre-orders went live (at the time of writing), but already, there’s no worries about any of the models not getting funded enough to be produced.
Everything from Adventure in Transylvania to the Popcorn Wagon has been funded at their minimum level of 3,000 orders, meaning they will be made into real sets as they continue their crowdfunding journey to their maximum number of pre-orders.
Usually that maximum would be 30,000 sets, but this time the capacity has been increased to unknown levels. For now, it’s worth noting that Adventure in Transylvania and The Thieves of Tortuga are around 33% on their way to being fully funded and no longer available.
Popcorn Wagon is behind them at around 20% of its maximum orders, and both Antique Shop and Mushroom Village have plenty of stock still available. Here’s a guide to how the first few minutes of crowdfunding went for Series 5, and what was funded to the minimum level first.
| LEGO BDP Series 5 set | Minutes to be minimum-funded |
|---|---|
| Adventure in Transylvania | 6 minutes |
| The Thieves of Tortuga | 8 minutes |
| Popcorn Wagon | 9 minutes |
| Mushroom Village | 11 minutes |
| Antique Shop | 15 minutes |
There’s still time to secure your copies of all five Series 5 sets now that crowdfunding is open, but you might want to act fast for at least a few of the models.

More Series 5 Sets? You Got It!
The love for Series 5 has blown us away! We know it’s tough when sets sell out before you can get your hands on them, so we teamed up with our manufacturing friends to make more sets available. This may not be the case for future series, so don’t miss your chance to get in on the fun.
Hopefully LEGO realized that they can make more than 30,000 of a set.
Well as they increase the number of sets they make them worth less. The reason that I buy them is definitely the limited quantity. It should be easy for everyone to buy on the first day. Is Lego just getting greedy?
