LEGO Gives Update on BrickLink Designer Program

July 7, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO just finished a roundtable regarding the BrickLink Designer Program regarding some of the concerns from the initial launch last week. There was massive traffic to BrickLink compared to Black Friday shopping. In fact, somehow there were actually 10,000 Castle in the Forest sets sold when there was originally a limit of 5,000 total pre-orders per project. As a result, LEGO/BrickLink will allow the other projects to also reach 10,000 pre-orders as well. The first round of crowdfunding will reopen again on August 3 to allow that to happen. The Castle will not reopen for pre-orders since it already reach 10k pre-orders already. This will in turn push the dates of the next crowdfunding rounds back even further.

There will now be a limit of one pre-order per person to allow more fans to get their hands on the sets. If you saw, resellers were selling the Castle in the Forest for about $800 after it was the first set to sell out. LEGO has also taken action against resellers on eBay to not allow scalpers to profit from it.

As far as designs and pricing for the next projects not mentioned in the press release below, LEGO may reveal them a bit early give buyers details of them before crowdfunding starts.

LEGO AFOL Survey – What Are You Passionate About?

July 7, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

If you’re an AFOL, LEGO is doing a survey on what you are passionate about. The reason for it is to better understand the AFOL audience and what else they like. The survey is open to everyone and it takes about 15 minutes to complete. The feedback back they receive will help them understand how to engage with the community.

As an AFOL, we know you are passionate about building – but what else are you passionate about? Do current sets support your interest? How do you connect with the community? How engaged are you with the LEGO Group?

Our department is conducting a new survey on AFOL Passion. We want to answer these questions so we can better understand our AFOL audience and what they love the most. We have done similar surveys in the past but it’s time to update our information to stay up-to-date 🙂

The survey is anonymous and open to everyone, everywhere. We estimate it’ll take about 15 minutes to answer, and the feedback you give us will help us better understand how to engage with the AFOL community.

Please take the share and share it here. Right now we have no end date and will close the survey when our response rate reaches a set threshold.

July 7, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The LEGO Ninjago theme has been releasing some modular type buildings in recent years with Ninjago City (70620) and Ninjago City Docks (70657) and with the most recent one with Ninjago City Gardens (71741). There are now rumors of a new Ninjago modular building coming next year but in a slightly smaller scale. This mystery set is said to have about 1,300 pieces and retails for around $120. Of course there are no details about it at this time and everything is considered a rumor until LEGO announces it.

LEGO has revealed images of some new VIP Add On Packs on their building instructions page. There are four packs and they look to be just a slew of accessories for certain themes. It is unsure how or when they will be available but I’m assuming they’ll be in the Rewards Center for a certain amount of VIP points.
