| Hi,
The terms of ideas state the period of rights ownership following expiry or deletion
of an ideas submission is 3 years.
Given that Bricklink is owned by LEGO, are you allowed to delete your ideas submission
and submit it for the BDP?
Happy building!

Hi,
In the FAQ ( https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/faq.page ):
”If I submitted a project to LEGO IDEAS that reached 10,000 supporters and
was NOT approved, or if my project expired before reaching 10k, may I submit
to BrickLink Designer Program?]/b]
Yes. If your submission meets the BDP Series 1 Submission Guidelines, you may
submit a design already submitted to LEGO IDEAS, provided it has either reached
10k and was NOT approved, or it has Expired and is no longer active on LEGO IDEAS.
You may not submit a design that is currently active on LEGO IDEAS. You MAY NOT
delete an active model from LEGO Ideas to submit to BDP.”
According to Ideas’s terms, “expired” means that the design didn’t reach the
number of supporters before the time limits. It does not seem to be about the
rights ownership.
Also note the last sentence: deleting the design from Ideas doesn’t make it “expired”
and available to BDP.

Unless you've sold the rights to your design, then they are yours to do with
as you please. As you are inferring the model is nearly three years old, I would
check that all your parts/colours are available in the upcoming/current BDP parts
catalog/palette if you wish to enter it. Lots of common (and not so common) parts
are not available for BDP as Lego may not be using them in consumer products
in the next year or two. If you set up Studio correctly with the recent BDP palette
and turn on recommended settings, you will be informed if parts/colours are no
longer available - if so, you will have to make changes.
Go for it!
