The BrickLink Designer Program, now known simply as the Designer Program,[1] is a crowdfunding program ran through BrickLink where a selection of sets designed by Lego fans are produced for a limited time.
Builders use BrickLink Studio to create models which are then submitted. After a voting process and review, five designs are selected, which are then crowdfunded into production and pre-ordered for a limited period of time.[2]
History and production
[edit]In December 2022, BrickLink announced that the program would begin with Series 1 in 2023. Builders use BrickLink Studio to create models which are then submitted. After a voting process and review, five designs are selected, which are then crowdfunded into production and pre-ordered for a limited period of time. Pre-order for the first series began in 2024.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][excessive citations] Some designs rejected from Series 1 had their instructions sold as part of a program called the MOC Pop-Up Store.[11]
In 2025, production numbers for Series 5 saw a capacity increase beyond the usual 30,000.[12][13] The program has become notable for the popularity of medieval and Lego Castle-themed builds within it.[14][15]
