Hi everyone,

Thank you for the warm reception to the continuation of the BrickLink Designer
Program! We hosted a webinar on Wednesday for interested fan designers. Tanja
and the team covered the Submission Guidelines and took questions. You can check
out the video here: https://bit.ly/BDPS1-Webinar-Recording

We've also updated the BDP Series 1 palette with some printed elements and
will be pushing another parts update soon.

Still have questions? Please ask them in the Studio Forum https://bit.ly/BDP-Forum
or email us at BDPsupport@bricklink.com.

Happy building!


The BrickLink Team

Thanks for the link to view the recorded session.

Wonder what magnificent designs will follow!

However, by limiting the parts by a BDP-pallette, isn't the creativity limited
as well?
Or did I miss some part and are all parts allowed (including selfcreated stickers
for instance?)?

The CUUSOO/Idea's/BDP designs were great because they also used new parts/designs.
Will they be missed?

Not sure.... hope they are still permitted.

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

You can have stickers.

https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/guidelines.page (at the end of
the section Design Requirements)


  The CUUSOO/Idea's/BDP designs were great because they also used new parts/designs.

Not sure.... hope they are still permitted.

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?
