Collaboration with the LEGO Group
Introducing the AFOL Designer Program
by BrickLink Team | Sep 06, 2018 11:07 EST
Today is such an exciting day at the BrickLink office because we finally get to reveal a very special collaboration with none other than the LEGO Group. We’ve been bursting at the seams because of how long we’ve had to keep this program a secret! Now that we’ve all had a minute to scream and catch our breaths, let’s get into the details.
What is the AFOL Designer Program?
This program celebrates creativity by realizing unique AFOL designs with truly original themes. What better timing than to kick it off in the year of the 60th anniversary of the LEGO brick? For a limited time, BrickLink will be hosting the AFOL Designer Program. We are honored to help highlight your creativity and help make your designs a reality.
Where can I get more information?
An official announcement and more details about the program will be revealed Wednesday, September 12th. Mark your calendars!

Okay, maybe you need to change the disclaimer on the bottom of the website saying
that Lego "does not sponsor, authorize, or endorse this site".....?
Not sure wether I am happy or sad about this....

An announcement about an announcement. Dangerous territory as now there will
be speculation about what it is and why it is/isn't needed.
Is it MOCshop v2.0?

Um - I think you forgot to write any details.

the system seems to be barely handling the current traffic speed-wise.
I hope it gets addressed.

Ok,does that mean that the LEGO Group starts selling bricks on bricklink? Are
the other sellers supposed to compete against LEGO (which is impossible)?

K but like, what is it? Because Stud.io is already this site’s built in designer

I'm not sure what AFOL stands for, but you may want to re-think the acronym.
The 1st time I saw it, I read it as "awful" and now I can't not read it as
the "Awful" Designer Program.

It is mind boggling that any member of this site would not know what AFOL was.
The acronym has been around for MANY years. It was even the title of a documentary.
