On LEGO's website under Order Status if you click on one of your BrickLink
Designer Program orders for the round that's underway, each set that you
ordered has a link that's supposed to go to the detail page for that set
but the link is formatted wrong and redirects to a LEGO 404 page.

Example
https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/Retro-Bowling-Alley-910013

I'm not reporting this to LEGO customer service because they always ignore
problems like this, either they don't know how or are unwilling to deal with
anything outside their little niche of replacing missing pieces and sets. So
I'm posting it here so BrickLink can ignore the problem instead.

I experienced the broken link on one of my designer orders. It alarmed me a bit,
as I couldn't confirm anything about my order.

I did contact Lego Customer service via the website. I got a very nice email
reply less than 24 hours later, confirming all the details of my order.

This happened two weeks ago. I certainly appreciated the service I received.

It looks like it's meant to be a redirect to the BrickLink page, but the
redirect fails (maybe it's malformed? I didn't look at the code) and
so gives a 404.
