If you read yesterday’s article on W.A.L.T. and learned about my shipping mishaps, you’ll know I accidentally received the Antique Collection by Fuma Terai (@terauma) instead. You didn’t think I’d pass up the opportunity to double dip, did you? Yesterday, I broke down a bit of the history of the various BrickLink Designer Programs over the years, but there’s one aspect I didn’t dive into: the types of sets being selected. Minifig Domination The original AFOL Designer Program and the later Designer Program (10K Club) featured a healthy mix of build styles. In the AFOL Designer Program, 6 of the 13 sets were not minifigure-scale. In the 10K Club edition, 4 of the 15 sets stepped outside that format. Compare that to the current BrickLink Designer Program: 43 of the 45 past and announced sets are minifigure-scale. That’s… a lot of minifigs. I was lucky to (eventually) receive both W.A.L.T. and...

LEGO was going to send me the upcoming BrickLink Designer Program set, W.A.L.T., to take an early look at before preorders start next week on February 16th. But before we jump into our “review” and the mishaps/hijinks that followed, let’s take a step back and look at the history of the BrickLink Designer Program. AFOL Designer Program In 2019, LEGO celebrated its 60th anniversary. That same year, The LEGO Group acquired BrickLink, and to celebrate Adult Fans of LEGO (AFOLs), they introduced the AFOL Designer Program. Similar in spirit to LEGO Ideas, designers using BrickLink Studio were invited to submit original models for a chance to have them produced as official sets. The first round featured a range of models evaluated on originality, visual appeal, building experience, clever part usage, and other criteria. Sixteen finalists moved into a crowdfunding stage, allowing fans to preorder their favorites. Sets that met their funding...

Today’s guest article comes from Bethany Wright, a builder living in Ohio who makes MOCs move. You can find more of her work on Instagram and Tips&Bricks. Back to the Hundred Acre Wood When the LEGO Ideas 21326 Winnie the Pooh set came out in 2021, its release was perfectly timed with my entry into the LEGO hobby. The set was whimsical and harkened back to my childhood memories of Winnie the Pooh. I even made my first large MOC inspired by the set.
