I think the Lego Ideas designers (or whatever group chooses the winners) are
to blame, they shoot down and deny so many good sets & always end up choosing
the same mundane crap that ends up being discounted a month into its release
At this point Ideas has become a pop culture theme, almost half of the sets are
based on movies/TV/video games - why they still call it "Ideas" is beyond
me as they seem to hate original designs 95% of the time

I do really like this one though I admit my tastes are unusual:

I was going to post about that when it came out. It's simple yet impressive.
Reminds me of some of the t-shirts from the 80's. Can't remember if
they were Ocean Pacific or not, but they had horizontal color bar similar to
these.

Ocean Pacific/Trapper Keeper vibes for sure.

| I like the Old Train Engine Shed. I would really have loved to see some more
variety here like vehicles or art/sculptures. However, I understand that buildings
are a solid choice. With the next round coming up so soon, I am hopeful to see
what's next.
In the past programs, I got a fire truck, a fish tank, and a train station. I
think the Clockwork Aquarium is my favorite so far.
Oh, I forgot about the Science Tower! Okay, I have two favorites.

Any guesses on the price?
Mountain Fortress, 3986 pcs, 0 stickers, my guess $429.99 USD
Parisian Street, 3465 pcs, 16 stickers, my guess $399.99 USD
The Old Train Engine Shed, 2298 pcs, 10 stickers, my guess $279.99 USD
The Snack Shack, 548 pcs, 3 stickers, my guess $59.99 USD
General Store – Wild West, 1848 pcs, 4 stickers, my guess $199.99 USD

Parisian Street looks nice.
Tired of all the castles. Very boring.

As a railroad enthusiast (or 'railfan' as we're referred to here
in the USA), the Old Train Engine Shed would be the set I would want for my LEGO
collection so I could display my 10277 Crocodile Locomotive next to it... but
even if it does sell for $279.99 USD, that is way too much for me.

Ensure you've got decorated parts showing in the palette - I made this mistake
too (I don't tend to use decortated parts and they slow down my searches.
Click the Lego brick next to the "Thumbnail Size" icon (next to the Search
Parts box) above the palette. It should be striped to see the decorated parts.
Horse, Cow, Dog, Cat, Squirrel etc. etc. are all there.

Thank you so much!

Yep. This is why I don't like all these "ideas" things and copycat
programs. It is just more of the same over and over and over. The community really
doesn't like variety, and I am glad that LEGO itself provides more of it.
Can't wait for DREAMZzz.

| There needs to be an easier way to vote (either up vote or down vote) EVERY
design for Series 2. You either need to be able to do a slideshow-type navigation
where you go from one design to the next without having to go back to the main
page, or you need to be able to vote for each design from the thumbnail page.
There were too many designs to click and down-vote all the ones I didn't
like and then go back to the list and click on the next one and vote and go back
to the list and so on and so forth. So I only clicked on the ones I liked enough
to up-vote them and didn't vote on any of the others.

Especially since in the rules they encouraged you to stay away from things that
have already been done and we got another castle build and another train themed
set. They are both cool, just not sure what the take away is.

Use BrickStore to make your palette (free, open source).
Then you can build this:

Are the bags numbered like regular sets? If so, flick through the instructions

opened larger sets.

They are, and some numbers match several bags. I'll check the instructions.

All you are left with is going through the instructions. They show 25 numbered
bags. You will need to check the first page of each bag's instructions to
see if additional items are indicated. Check that you have all that and you are

Yes.
And what’s said on the Program’s page is “We produce the sets in the factory”
(my emphasis).
I guess it’s because the very first program, the ADP /AFOL Designer Program,
in 2018, was made before BrickLink entered the LEGO Group. It also used LEGO
parts, but the sets were packed by BrickLink (by hand).
“The factory” is a bit weird though, as there’s multiple LEGO factories.
Anyway, LEGO BrickLink, LEGO parts, LEGO sets

I can't answer your question as I didn't get that set, but my sets recently
arrived and the deliver service destroyed my sets as well. Nothing like getting
limited edition sets and having punctured boxes. I call Lego and they gave me
point to my account which didn't amount to much, but since they can't
replace the sets at least it was something.
|
Yes, they added 3k points to my account, better than nothing but I can't
stand damaged boxes, all the more when the parcel isn't damaged.

Don't know, but maybe you can weigh the box with content. Should be 4332gr

Thanks for this idea. My scale measured 4342g, that's a good point.

I can't answer your question as I didn't get that set, but my sets recently
arrived and the deliver service destroyed my sets as well. Nothing like getting
limited edition sets and having punctured boxes. I call Lego and they gave me
point to my account which didn't amount to much, but since they can't
replace the sets at least it was something.

I just received the Observatory and the box is damaged and opened on both sides.

Don't know, but maybe you can weigh the box with content. Should be 4332gr
total

Sounds like a few pieces whose color are not used in BDP. Color validator I
believe only checks against known sources and not limited to BDP source

I read that Lego needs to be sure it can source parts for the builds i.e. so
excluded things they don't actually make themselves, eg rubber bands etc.
Something like the motor will contain parts that Lego may not be able to procure
or produce themselves. Hence, I guess, why it's not in the BDP1 list. Maybe.
Dunno.

TBH, I don't know. The simplest way to find out is to try it!
If there's a part with a colour that's not in the catalog (including
BDP) a yellow exclamation mark is displayed on the Step List. Maybe it does something
similar with a part that's not in the BDP catalog.
Please let us know

I think the BDP part limitation is based on what LEGO is currently producing
so not all parts or colors can be offered. So no dragon head part for BDP sorry

I downloaded the latest version of studio 2.23.1 (1) and imported a few LDD files

they are not available in Studio. Which is frustrating because they are available
in LDD and LDRAW
I left a post in the studio forum with the brick IDs 25380 and 24232 but I can't
imagine they will update the software before the submission deadline.
Can I still submit it without those pieces? I have pdf instructions, images,
everything I need to submit... but it will not look right in studio until those
bricks are added.
Help! What do I do?

If you are entering the current BrickLink Designer Program, then you cannot use
parts (or part colours) that are not in the BDP1 catalog.
The catalog consists of parts, based on predicted/expected Lego production for
at least the next year. Older, or historic parts from limited sets are not accessible
and won't be allowed or available in the BDP. You are going to have to look
at other parts, or create one from parts that are available in the BDP1 catalog.
However, if it's not for the recent contest, then you can of course use every
part available in Studio. Unfortunately, as you have discovered, not every Lego
part is available in Studio.

Thanks Wilykat,
I really appreciate your help! It appears however I misspoke... The part is
available in LDD and listed on Bricklink, but I don't see it in LDRAW (or
Studio). I also searched through some files on Github looking for the part ID
and I'm not having a lot of luck there either... But I'm new to this
so maybe I'm not looking in the right spot.
The parts are a dragon head and jaw. Actually, it says Creature, not dragon...
but it's from the ninjago dragon set 70612. The part IDs in LDD AND Bricklink
is 24232 and 25380.
What's up with that Github list??? Are those parts that have been designed...
but have not been officially added to LDraw or Studio??? I'm kind of confused
on this whole thing.
|
Ah I see what you mean. That 2 parts were only used in 1 set and that was about
6 years ago. If it's not available in LDraw or Studio, it means no one has
created the part data yet. LDD was maintained by LEGO before it was discontinued
a couple years ago so LEGO did produce the detail and made it available in LDD.
LDraw and all of its related programs were maintained by volunteers.
It may be possible to hack LDD and extract raw data for this 2 parts, then format
it for LDraw data form and post it in LDraw forum to get it checked and approved
for final release. AFAIK LDD were mostly encrypted so it'd be difficult
to extract it, it might be faster to create data from scratch. If you got a 3D
scanner, that would help a lot since it's odd shaped with lots of curves.
|
I was wondering if that was possible... to somehow extract it from LDD. But
I wouldn't know how to do it? Or how convert the code.
I don't have a 3d scanner. Is that how some of these new parts get added?
If I were to find a scanner somehow... What file type does the scan need to
be in to make it work for LDRAW (and studio)
Also... I downloaded the "part designer" app that goes along with Studio,
but it appears that creating parts like those are not really possible with that
software.

Also, I am getting a number of yellow exclamation points by certain parts in
studio. They show up on the list of parts (and steps) on the right side of the
studio app after I imported the LDD file. Some of them also say (needs work).
No idea what that means...
Most of these seem to be fairly common parts... Is this an issue with an older
LDD ID? The parts do show and are in the correct spot but its giving that yellow
warning indicator.
Should I just swap them out for the same part in studio?
|
2 possibilities:
1: Could be the part is not available in specific color? Far left side of Studio
at about mid point, look for Color Validator. Click on the part that shows up
and you should be able to see drop down menu with list of available color then
apply fix. You can ignore this part if you are strictly making digital moc and
not buying parts to build a real one.
2: you imported the project from LDD. Some parts sometimes don't translate
correctly and you would need to replace the part with yellow ! with same part
from Studio list.

First: there's a dedicated form for this: https://forum.bricklink.com/
Second, you can copy existing part from LDraw or even from the weekly new parts
not yet ready for use into Studio. For Windows, you need to go to this location
in Windows Explorer (Windows key + e) and go to this path: C:\Users\(YOUR USER
NAME)\AppData\Local\Stud.io and create a folder "CustomParts" and copy
the files *.dat in there. If there is any sub parts required, make a folder "s"
in the CustomParts folder and copy the sub parts in that one.
When you start Studio, assuming you did it right the drop down menu (see attached
picture) should show Custom Parts option with the new parts you wanted.
It's how I got the baby spacemen in Studio before they were ready: https://i.imgur.com/1aLYeI2.png
If only LEGO would release them in more colors so I could do real Every Space
Families is Awesome!!!

of having the parts to build the alien ship (for the record, the sets used in
the build are: 3 of 442/891, 1 of 381/588, and 1 of 487/924). Then I was finally
able to get all the parts, thanks to BrickLink, and I couldn't believe how
ridiculous the thing actually looked (my kids liked it though). It's also

Dear BrickLink Members,
We’re proud to share that the BrickLink Designer Program will live on! We’ve learned from the BDP 2021 Invitational, and the program is here to stay. Series 1 is the first in the new, permanent program. We’ll continue learning and adjusting to make each future Series better.
How Series 1 will work
Series 1 will span 2023 and early 2024, with these milestones:
Create Your Designs: December 9, 2022—February 2023
We invite all LEGO enthusiasts 18 and older to design your models in Studio.
Open Submission: February 1—28, 2023
Submit your models during a 4-week window to be considered before the deadline on February 28, 2023 at noon Pacific US time.
Crowd Validation: March 7—March 31
We invite all BrickLink members to vote for their favorite submissions. This crowd vote weighs in alongside the BDP’s internal selection criteria and influences the designs chosen for crowdfunding.
Review: April—May 2023
Our team checks every design for building experience, brand fit, and crowd favorites.
5 Designs Announced: Late May 2023
We’ll reveal the five Series 1 designs. Then we’ll collaborate with fan designers to prepare them for production.
Crowdfunding: February 2024
BrickLink members will be invited to pre-order their favorite designs, with a limit of 2 of each set per household. All designs that receive over 3,000 pre-orders will be produced. We will manufacture up to 20,000 of each set on a limited production run.
Production and Shipping: Summer/Fall 2024
We produce the sets in the factory. Orders will be ready to ship approximately 6 months after crowdfunding. Actual dates and shipping times may vary.
What calling it “Series 1” says about the Program’s future
We’re committed to helping you realize your ideas through the BrickLink Designer Program. By calling this iteration Series 1, we’re indicating the BrickLink Designer Program has matured from the one-off 2021 Invitational into a program we can sustain over time. With this and each future Series, we’ll issue a fresh brief and Submission Guidelines. This way, the program can evolve as we learn from experience during each series.
Next Steps for aspiring Fan Designers
Check out the BrickLink Designer Program homepage for the overview and detailed timeline.
Before you start building, Review the Submission Guidelines, which all submissions must follow.
Download the latest version of BrickLink Studio, which includes the BDP Series 1 Palette.
Register for our live webinar December 14th at 8am Pacific / 5pm CET to learn more about the Submission Guidelines. Can’t join live? We’ll make a video available after the session.
Ask any questions in the new BrickLink Designer Program forum, where we will monitor and respond.
We’re looking forward to your submissions!
The BrickLink Team

As Yorbrick says, the BDP palette is limited to what LEGO will produce in 2024.
How could LEGO use parts that LEGO doesn’t have?

Not really. There is no point allowing designers to use parts that are not going
to be available when production time comes.
