Every LEGO BrickLink Designer Program finalist so far – November 2023

The finalists for the LEGO BrickLink Designer Program Series 3 have been announced, becoming five of the 15 total finalists from all three series.

The LEGO BrickLink Designer Program is another way for fan designers to get their ideas turned into reality, in a similar way to LEGO Ideas. However, instead of a few sets getting instantly confirmed to become LEGO sets, the finalists for the program rely on a minimum of 3,000 people to support them through crowdfunding for the set to officially go into production.

With 15 finalists now confirmed, here’s a reminder of all of the sets that will open up for crowdfunding, with Series 1 starting in February, 2024, Series 2 in June, 2024, and Series through in October, 2024.

Series 1: The Old Train Engine Shed

Pieces: 2,298 Minifigures: 6 Stickers: 10 Designer: Mind_the_Brick

Series 2: Logging Railway

Pieces: 2,706 Minifigures: 3 Stickers: 2 Designer: ties25

Beachy charm is the name of the game for this stilted house, covered in colourful tiles, greenery, and with a cosy interior full of treasures from its inhabitants’ adventures.

Series 2: Mushroom House
