Back in June, LEGO Ideas started a building contest for Chronicle Books to create an idea for a puzzle to be released at a future date. The entries are now set and the fan vote for the contest is now live. There are 40 total entries spread out in four categories which include Space, Retro, Nature, and Architecture. You have only once chance to cast your vote so choose wisely. Voting will end on August 19 and there will be one winner in each category. Since there are two announcements, the fan vote winners will not necessarily be made into a puzzle.

It’s been a week since the first round restart of the BrickLink Designer Program and it looks like all five project have sold out or did it? The site says that they have all sold out but there was still a lot of pre-orders open for the Sheriff’s Safe, Kakapo, and Pursuit of Flight as of yesterday. I’m pretty sure that this is just a programming error on their part because you are still able to add them to the LEGO Shop cart if you have the direct links. Lucky for you, we have them readily available and you can continue to purchase them.

Sheriff’s Safe (910016) – $49.99
Kakapo (910017) – $79.99
Pursuit of Flight (910028) – $54.99

In addition, Round 2 crowdfunding is listed as August 15 but we already know that it was pushed to September because of the extended rounds. Round 3 looks to be at the correct pace for a November 1 crowdfunding according to the new structure image in the link post.
