| | 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

Thank you.
May I ask here too, to move the daily ten minutes downtime to an earlier hour?
We here in Israel are getting it every morning at 9am.
Maybe randomize it a bit so we all share it...

That's why we don't care too much about the World Cup ... we already
got one!
Plus we know we'll never get another.

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.
|
I guess it makes sense to have the larger sets all competing against each other?
That way a set wouldn't miss the goal only because of the $ tag. Just a thought...

I don't think they are really competing against each other as you can buy
more than one of the projects.
I think the price points will make people hesitant to back as many projects as
earlier rounds because if they all get funded that's a lot of cash to dole
out all at once. So where someone may have backed 3 or 4 projects last round
(expecting maybe 2 or 3 to get funded), they may only back 1 or 2 this round.
I'm just guessing it will take more unique buyers to fund 5 projects. There
may be enough demand for that, but I wouldn't be surprised if the 5 aren't
fully funded.

They had previously announced that they would be three rounds for this designer
program. My guess is that there won't be another one for some time based
on how this went and the fact that the previous one was in 2019

Yes, “final” does not mean “last ever,” it just means “last round for this designer
program.”
They selected 32 projects (at first) and, with this final round, all the projects
will have been presented (or dropped).
There may be other DP and the rules may change (which designs? how many? how
many rounds? limits (3k/5k/10k)? etc.).
Hey, we only got 2 letters so far, A(FOL)DP & B(L)DP, there’s lots
of letters to use yet

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

Why is this the "final" round? Will there be another set of rounds for 2022???

I agree, I just wanted to confirm BrickLink's stance on it.
They don't show up very often on BrickLink but every now and then when I
need my Grangemouth fix I would to be able to know I get get them on BrickLink.

8.07¢
| | 3rd round
Average number of pieces - 3089
Average price - $272 USD
Average price/piece - 9¢
|
8.81¢
| | So the third round sets are marginally more expensive, but not by a lot.

It’s even closer if you consider a few more decimals
