What can you share with me about
My daughter who just received the set as a Lego Employee Christmas gift, asked
me about it. I sheepishly told her I know nothing about the "BrickLink Designer
Program" sets. Never did paid attention to the program since launched in
2019, I'm ashamed to say
I appreciate all/any input, which I might pass onto her. Thanks

Thanks nubs, we got that much.
I'm speaking of opinions of the set. Opinions as to should she hang on to
it sealed. Opinions as to the set's standing within the lineup of BrickLink
Designer Program sets. The designer, backstory, etc.
In short, what's not found on pages here, opinions.
Thanks anyway

It's quite a famous set. It was the reason we decided to sell 10,000 copies
instead of 5,000 for the BDP invitational series. Being one of the first to go
through a new process, it has a number of unique characteristics you will not
see elsewhere, including the story of the red crab.
It is also in a line of outstanding castle sets:

This last one will be sold in the spring, and we don't know exactly how it
will fare. But it is beautiful and huge.

They are beautifully designed sets for sure.
Thank you, Russell

If she doesn't think she'll enjoy building it, she should keep it sealed
and get her dad to sell it!

I know a lot of people prefer to keep theirs sealed but I built mine as soon
as I received it. I'll say I'm not a fan of it lacking instructions...
It was hard understanding them at time due to the various angles and my phone
overheated a lot trying to render the 3D images.
It's a good display piece though. I'd only sell it if you're looking
to make money because as time goes on, more and more of these are bound to be
opened and built. I don't regret building mine.

| I think it depends on your daughter. The set will be worth more if she doesn't
open it. However, the pure joy of building it is priceless. It is like football
tickets. Sure you can resell them them for thousands of dollars and then watch
the game on TV, but the pure joy of experiencing it in person is worth the cost.

Thanks. I'll pass on the sentiment
