BrickLink is thrilled to announce the MOC Pop-Up Store pilot
https://www.bricklink.com/v3/moc-pop-up-store/about.page

Going live in late August! This is a test program that allows BrickLink
members to purchase digital building instructions and loose elements of select
BrickLink Designer Program submissions. Buyers will have the choice of ordering
exclusively through BrickLink Marketplace sellers or a combination of Marketplace
sellers and LEGO Pick a Brick. The program will run from August 29th through
mid-November, 2023, after which we will evaluate it and consider next steps.



With the MOC Pop-Up Store, members will be able to purchase the building instructions
and loose parts to build fan designs submitted to BDP Series 1 & Series 2 that
were not selected among the five Finalists for crowdfunding. MOC stands for “My
Own Creation,” a popular acronym for one’s own custom LEGO models popular in
the adult fan of LEGO (AFOL) community.



This creates a win-win-win situation for buyers that have fallen in love with
these designs during BDP crowd validation, BrickLink Marketplace sellers, and
fan designers that have put a huge effort in to their BDP designs. Designers
will receive 80 percent of the sale price of building instructions. The MOC Pop-Up
Store will reach new audiences and drive new sales to Marketplace sellers, while
offering new distribution and monetization opportunities for LEGO fan designers
on the BrickLink platform.



The MOC Pop-Up store is a pilot, so we are only inviting a select group of ~50
BDP fan designers to participate. Select fan designers will receive invitations
throughout July and early August. For questions (and we know you have them),
please visit the MOC Pop-Up Store FAQ
https://www.bricklink.com/v3/moc-pop-up-store/faq.page



Stay tuned for the launch in late August. We’re excited about bringing more fan
designs to life through the BrickLink Marketplace and LEGO Pick a Brick!
