BIONICLE BrickLink fan designer joins the LEGO Group
The fan designer behind the 910007 BIONICLE Legends BrickLink model has started the year by joining the LEGO Group full-time.
The fan designer behind 910007 BIONICLE Legends, which didn’t manage to become a funded BrickLink Designer Program set in the 2021 invitational, has announced on X that they will no longer be just a fan designer starting this year.
After years of custom creations inspired by BIONICLE and NINJAGO especially, Sokoda will be joining the LEGO Group as a LEGO designer in 2025, likely one day bringing an official LEGO set to shelves as they tried to with BIONICLE in 2021.
Given the consistent popularity of BrickLink Designer Program builds – especially in the last couple of years – it’s not surprising to see the LEGO Group looking through the fan designers to find the next generation of their design teams.
It will be interesting to follow Sokoda’s career from this point onwards, though they note that there will be custom creations from them as they devote time towards the new job, which is understandable.
