LEGO BrickLink Designer Program Series 1 instructions and inventories out now

The building instructions and part inventories for the five LEGO sets in the first series of the BrickLink Designer Program are now available to everyone free of charge.

Whether you scored all those you were looking for or missed out on your faves during crowdfunding, you can now download the digital instruction manuals for each and every one of the finalists in Series 1. The sets are said to be shipping to successful backers from the beginning of July, so this is a timely upload from the LEGO Group (which owns BrickLink).

Thanks to the publicly available instructions, those of us who didn’t manage to secure sets during that limited crowdfunding window in February can now piece together our own copies using the inventories in the back of each manual. It’s a more painstaking process for sure, and doesn’t include the physical packaging of the official BDP set, but it’s still the next best thing.

The instructions look to be on a par with regular LEGO sets, meanwhile, opening with a short foreword from the builder responsible for the design before moving into the step-by-step assembly. The sets will apparently come with numbered bags to make the build process a little smoother, but BrickLink Designer Program models don’t include physical manuals, so you’ll need the digital versions to get going.

Hit the links in the table below to go directly to the PDF instructions for each set. Fair warning: some of these file sizes are fairly substantial, given some of these sets are also pretty big.

Crowdfunding is still open for Series 2 of the BrickLink Designer Program, with three of the five finalists available to pre-order.
