Well, maybe having a wider range of prices may even help have more orders overall.
I don’t know, I’m not in LEGO marketing, I’m only a buyer 
But I tend to think it’s not intentional. It’s just that bigger sets take longer
to prepare and most ended in the last round.
And, of course, we will never know. BL & LEGO won’t ever tell us… or we’ll never
be able to tell if it’s the truth (“we purposefully did it by accident!”).

Have you looked a the piece count for these sets vs the 1st round?
1st round:
Smallest set - 540 pieces
Largest set - 1948 pieces
3rd round:
Smallest set - 1377 pieces
Largest set - 4062 pieces
That's a pretty big difference right there alone to justify a price gap.

We’re pleased to announce the third round of crowdfunding for the BrickLink Designer Program will open May 17th at 10:00am Pacific / 7:00pm CET / 6:00pm UTC. We invite LEGO fans to pre-order their favorites among nine fan projects on the BrickLink Designer Program page.
The first five projects to reach the goal of 3,000 pre-orders will be produced as a limited edition set. Up to 10,000 of each will be produced based on pre-orders received from registered BrickLink members. Round 3 crowdfunding will close at 10:00am Pacific on June 21.
Here are the candidates for the third and final round of crowdfunding, along with their prices:
Mountain View Observatory by ThomasW_BL for $319.99
Space Troopers by nickroyer for $199.99
1950s Diner by pix027 for $129.99
Studgate Train Station by BrickyBricks82 for $399.99
Working Waterfall by TheKingOfLego for $229.99
Steam Powered Science by EndlessAges for $299.99
Winter Chalet by sdrnet for $199.99
Modular Construction Site by ryantaggart for $319.99
Brickwest Studios by BrickyBricks82 for $349.99
Round 1 of crowdfunding was held during the summer of 2021 and Round 2 in fall 2021. This third and final round of crowdfunding concludes the BrickLink Designer Program invitational where up to 15 out of 26 projects will ultimately be realized across the three rounds.
Designer Program sets will feature digital building instructions provided by the LEGO Building Instructions mobile app. Digital instructions help us fulfill our Planet Promise by using less paper and saving on shipping weight, which in turn reduces emissions while delivering your set to you. The app lets you zoom, rotate, and view your model in 3D and ghost view mode to see how far you’ve come and what part you’re in the process of building. The LEGO Building Instructions app is great at keeping track of complex builds and makes it easy to save your building steps online so you can recycle instruction books.
PDF building instructions will also be made publicly available when sets begin shipping.
Sincerely,
The BrickLink Designer Program Team

Do you really believe all donated funds will be received by Ukrainian refuges\war
affected families? People be reasonable, all collected money will be spent on
gathering more military power, more weapons.. to continue the war. If you really
want to help those affected by war families, make your EU\US\RU government to
stop support this war, by sending soldiers, weapon, sanctions and so on. Messing
politics with LEGO won't help, this is ridiculous..

Dear Bricklink Administration,
Please, answer about seller's fees. Will you terminate all accounts of sellers
from Russia? Is there any solution? Sellers from Russia can still send direct
bank transfer to european IBAN accounts. We can pay you if you have IBAN in some
european bank.
Best Regards, MIhail.

Hi Mlhail,
We are not terminating accounts. We explored a range of options, including whether
it was possible to keep stores open, but decided the best approach for now, given
that global payment platforms are unavailable, was to temporarily deactivate
stores.

PayPal, VISA, Mastercard and Western Union closed their services in Russia. UnionPay
don't work also. Russian Bricklink stores can't work properly and russian
buyers can't pay. There is only a way to pay by Bank Transfer but it is too

That's as maybe although whilst I anticipated my own posts inevitably ending
up being cancelled they were in response to this statement which still remains?
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1334327
It only reads one way to me?
|
The most surreal aspect of this whole situation is that the we, the global BrickLink
community, are observing sellers from one country report on disruptions to their
businesses and we just have to pretend like we don't know the real reason
that these sellers are experiencing difficultly. Contrast this to the fact that
no one feels the need to tread lightly while talking about disruptions cause
by natural disasters. Meanwhile, I don't think we've seen a single post
from anyone in an adjacent country that is experiencing actual life-or-death
disruptions. The reason for that silence is morbidly obvious and it speaks volumes.
I understand the reasoning behind carefully moderating political topics but in
this instance the consequences of such moderation is troubling. Sanctions are
political and, by extension, so are their results. To be truly fair, any discussion
about the difficulties sellers in any sanctioned country are experiencing should
be taken up directly with BL admins/management and not discussed in the forum
at all. I realize this is an unprecedented situation (at least as far as BrickLink
is concerned), but this feels like it would be a more equitable reading of the
"no political discussion" rule. To continue to allow such posts normalizes a
situation that is far from normal and adds insult to injury by giving a platform
to comfortable, peripheral victims who are likely posting from a couch or a desk
while completely ignoring victims in actual, physical danger who probably have
much graver concerns right now.
|
You raise a valid point, but it needs some backstory clarification. There appear
to be a viable (for lack of a better word) number of sellers in Russia. BrickLink
is a USA company, and is owned by a Danish multi-national company. The conflict
has caused sanctions, which as you say are political. One of the parties to the
conflict appears (based on reports) to be censoring information which is counter
to their narrative. Sellers in that country, perhaps buyers too, do not see the
situation with the fullness that the rest of us see it, they see/hear/read a
specifically curated narrative. The administrators (and moderators) here are
walking a fine line between taking sides, and trying to cleanly explain why these
actions have been applied, and doing so in a fashion that does not promote negative
dialog. BL is very likely in a difficult position which does not permit their
acceptance of fee payments, without triggering a violation of sanctions (albeit
on a small scale). There are many fine lines being walked to try to hold the
community together, while we all hope for an end to this madness.

People in western countries do not hate Russians. Currently, most people seem
to feel sorry for them. We just really, really want the war to stop. That is
why there are sanctions. Bricklink stores are just collateral damage in this
effort.

| Why was it necessary to disconnect Russian stores from Bricklink? Russian buyers
could buy in Russian stores directly paying for orders not through PayPal, but
on the seller’s card, and you have deprived everyone of this opportunity, thereby
setting people up only against yourself.
Do you also support Russophobia? Why are you interfering politics with constructor
sales?

Strictly it is the checkout function that is disabled rather than payment. They
don't want new orders generated (that could be paid some other way).

They said they would inform you, so presumably you will get an email. Did they
send it already? I imagine they will just allow balances on Russian accounts
to remain until payments can be made again. You cannot add to the overall amount
owed if you cannot sell. It would be wrong to suspend accounts when they know

"Hello,
Thank you for your message.
Please refer to our announcement regarding the matter.
Thank you for your understanding.
Sincerely,
Anastasia
BrickLink Customer Support". Nothing more. That's why I'm asking about
the fees.

Hi, what about seller's fees? PayPal , VISA and Mastercard alredy blocked
russian users. I've tried newly made UnionPay credit card to pay the fees
and the card doesn't worked out also. What happens with unpaid fees now?

They said they would inform you, so presumably you will get an email. Did they
send it already? I imagine they will just allow balances on Russian accounts
to remain until payments can be made again. You cannot add to the overall amount
owed if you cannot sell. It would be wrong to suspend accounts when they know
payments are not possible.

| | Dear BrickLink members,
The LEGO Group released the following statement regarding the war in Ukraine.
Our thoughts are with all the children and families suffering as a result of
the war in Ukraine.
Our priority is the safety of all our colleagues. We are in contact with our
Ukrainian team and are providing ongoing support to ensure their safety. We are
also working to support other colleagues around the world impacted by the escalating
crisis including our team in Russia.
We have paused shipments of products to Russia given the extensive disruption
to the operating environment.
We care deeply about the lasting impact on children and together with the LEGO
Foundation and Ole Kirk’s Fond, we will donate DKK 110 million (approx. USD 16.5
million) to emergency relief efforts, with a focus on providing support for children
and families. The donation will be made to existing partners, including the United
Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), Save the Children, and the Danish Red Cross.
This is a volatile and constantly evolving situation which we are monitoring
closely.
What does this mean for BrickLink?
The global payment platforms we use on BrickLink are currently not available
in Russia and deliveries to and from the country are severely disrupted. Given
this, buying and selling activities in Russia will be temporarily deactivated.
Members impacted by this will be informed individually.
We are grateful for everyone in our community and never imagined we would face
a situation such as this or witness the heartbreak and devastation we’re seeing
in Ukraine.
Please continue to adhere to our community guidelines and show each other respect
and support.
Thank you for your understanding.
The BrickLink team
