| | Dear BrickLink members,
Based on your feedback to the structure of the BrickLink Designer Program, as well as challenges related to the current Covid situation, we decided to extend the Designer program and postpone the crowdfunding start a bit. This change aims to accommodate for equal opportunities for the designers and maximize the number of designs that can achieve crowdfunding.
What is the new structure?
Instead of one round of crowdfunding, there will be three rounds. For each round, eight to ten projects will be chosen based on feasibility and part availability. The first five of these designs that are successfully crowdfunded will then go into production.
In the illustration below, you can see the difference between the old and new structure.
Will the projects I can crowdfund remain the same?
The designers are currently working hard to make sure that their projects can reach crowdfunding, and we are rooting for all of them to make it, no worries, they are well on their way! The projects available for crowdfunding will still be the ones currently in the BrickLink Designer Program.
The downside to the new structure is that some designs will be available 3-6 months later than with the old structure. On the other hand, that might make it possible for you to support all the projects you like!
When can I start pre-ordering?
Pre-ordering begins July 1st with the first round of crowdfunding. Rounds 2 and 3 will begin in September and November respectively. To see which projects will be ready for the first round of crowdfunding, please visit the BrickLink Designer Program landing page.
You can also visit the FAQ page for more information about the program.
Thank you,
The BrickLink Team

Looking at the FAQ. It says 5000 sets of each design and max order qty of 5.
I read that as: The first 1000 scalpers will be able to buy all the sets and
resell at a huge profit!
Why 5 of each set per person and not 1? Why only 5000 sets of each? if the demand
is much higher (which I suspect it will be) Please Lego, learn from the past
fiascos of limited sets such as Ulysses and the Medical Frigate, make sure your
loyal AFOLS get these sets and not the scalpers!

Absolutely agree, there really couldn't be a need to buy more than 2 (1 for
me, 1 gift maybe). Profiteering makes everybody angry and Lego should work
prevent it. Promote love not greed!

| Hello everyone, I just bought the complete Series 8 American Football Player
but there is something off about the Jersey piece. Could anyone with the genuine
fig please let me know if this piece is slightly shinier than the legs and if
it has the Lego brand mark on it somewhere. Rest of fig is the real deal. Many
thanks.
