Make a mini LEGO BrickLink Designer Program model and win the set

A new competition has started on BrickLink that could win you a set worth up to £299.99 / $379.99 / €339.99 by making it on a much smaller scale.

Anyone who is tempted by one of the new LEGO BrickLink Designer Series 1 sets, that go up for pre-order on February 7, may be able to score one for free by winning a competition that has just started. That’s a hefty prize considering the size and cost of most of these builds.

The contest is open until January 31 and is asking entrants to submit a model using 10 to 300 pieces that recreates one of the five Series 1 sets. The models that can take inspiration from are DistractedBldr’s Snack Shack, llucky’s General Store, Mind_The_Brick’s Old Train Engine Shed, NicolasCarlier’s Parisian Street and SleeplessNight’s Mountain Fortress.

Of these models, the Snack Shack is the smallest at 539 pieces for £39.99 / $49.99 / €49.99. By using the competition’s maximum piece count, your submission could be around half the size of the actual set – something that can’t quite be said for the other four models. That’s only as long as you can fit it in an eight-stud by eight-stud space though – which will provide an extra challenge.

At the time of writing, six models have been submitted on the contest page covering the Snack Shack, General Store, Old Train Engine Shed and Parisian Street. You’ve got until January 31 at 12:00pm PT to submit your entry and keep in mind that there will be five winners – one for each of the Series 1 sets – and you’ll only have the chance to win the model that you’ve depicted. More rules are available to look through on the contest page.
