There used to be a banner at the top of the main page that allowed you to click
and browse the upcoming bl designer program. But now that is gone. Where do
you find the designer program? It feels like they're hiding it from the
mainpage. The only way I can find it is if I do a google search for it and it
brings up: https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/main.page

But that seems pretty strange to me. Does anyone know where to click on the bricklink
website to get to that page?

Also, just out of curiosity, will these be available on the lego.com page or
just here on bricklink? Any idea if you get insider points for it as well?

Thanks, all that should be more visible at this point, imo.

Cheers

I guess, close to the opening that they're working on it right now?

Hi,

There’s a black icon with Programs written under in the toolbar that’s on most
pages.  If you click on it, you arrive to the URL you found with Google.
If you hover over it, there’s a menu to go to more specific areas of the program(s).

The submission for BDPS 4 ended.  And the ‘crowdfunding’ for BDPS1 hasn’t started
yet.  So I guess there’s no real reason to have a link in the banner until it
really starts.

Once on the aforementioned page, you can click Series 1, 2… to see the models
in each of that series.
The main page shows the 5 sets that will be in crowdfunding in 3 days.
Crowdfunding (= pre-ordering) is the only way to get one of these sets.  They
will be produced and shipped by LEGO but they won’t be available for sale on
the LEGO site.  Only here, only through the crowdfunding (well, or second market
in several months).

There’s more info in the specific pages and in the FAQ.
