BrickLink Announces MOC Pop-Up Store Pilot Program

BrickLink has announced a new pilot program called the MOC Pop-Up Store which allows select BrickLink Designer Program submissions available for purchase through the BrickLink Marketplace and on LEGO Pick-a-Brick.

Fans will be able to purchase digital instructions from the BrickLink Designer Program Series 1 and 2 and can either use BrickLink or LEGO Pick-a-Brick to get the parts from. Essentially, this means you can purchase some of the other builds that weren’t chosen from the five finalists from each series.

The BrickLink MOC Pop-Up Store will only be inviting a select group of 5 BDP fan designers to participate so it’s possible that you may not see projects that were previously voted on before. The pilot will run from August 29 through mid November.

MOC Pop-Up Store pilot will make select BrickLink Designer Program submissions available for purchase through BrickLink Marketplace and LEGO Pick a Brick this fall.

Fans will be able to order digital building instructions and choose to have loose elements fulfilled by either BrickLink Marketplace sellers or LEGO Pick a Brick for a limited time.

LEGO Ideas Singles’ Day My, Myself, and I Fan Vote Live for Future GWP Set

The LEGO Ideas Singles’ Day My, Myself, and I fan vote is now live and you can vote which set you want as a future gift with purchase set. There are 15 finalists and fans have only one vote to pick your favorite one. The premise of the contest was to build something people do by themselves using a maximum of 250 bricks. Too bad LEGO has to choose only one because a lot of them are really good. The deadline to vote is only one week on July 11 so get your voices heard.

LEGO Icons Eldorado Fortress (10320) Now Available on LEGO Shop

One of the more anticipated days of the month is here and I’m not talking about Independence Day. The LEGO Icons Eldorado Fortress (10320) is now available for purchase on the LEGO Shop. The set retails for $214.99 and is a tribute for the 1989 set of the same name. Unfortunately, there are no promotions going alongside it and it’ll probably be temporarily sold out by the time the next one comes around.

LEGO Not Part of San Diego Comic Con 2023 Exclusives Portal (For Now?)

The San Diego Comic Con 2023 exclusives portal is now live and it doesn’t look like LEGO will have any exclusives for sale this year. We’re still a few weeks away from the event and there’s still time for companies to add themselves to the list since we have until July 16 to submit our entries but so far, it’s not looking promising. There’s a chance that they could do something directly at their booth but that would be a mess and I can already hear the security say “you can’t stand here, keep moving.”

The last time that LEGO did any exclusives was back in 2019 before the pandemic closed everything down the year after. Back then, they had a few exclusives that lucky fans were able to purchase as well as minifigures that were given away at random. LEGO did sell their exclusives online in 2020 at various retailers and they went rather quickly with some of them managing to restock a few times. Other than that, it’s been quiet the past few years and it looks to be the same this year. Again, I’ve heard that they were done with exclusives altogether because of the reselling that people do during the con and they weren’t happy with that but that’s just a rumor that was relayed to me a few times.
