Just a reminder that pre-ordering sets from Series 5 of the BrickLink Designer Program will begin tomorrow, June 10th, at 8 AM Pacific Time. This is a particularly exciting series, so even though the pre-ordering stage will last until June 24th at 12 PM Pacific Time, they are likely to sell out much earlier.
BrickLink members may pre-order their favorite sets from the series, with a limit of two of each set per household. All sets that receive over 3,000 pre-orders will be produced. Up to 30,000 of each set will be manufactured during a limited, one-time production run. Orders will be ready to ship approximately 6 months after pre-ordering (so around October of this year.)
The Thieves of Tortuga by Krackenator comes with 3,998 pieces and features the fictional town of Tortuga, one of the safest places for pirates to hide from the Imperial soldiers. The city is full of stolen cargo and hidden details everywhere you look! The model is approximately 31 inches long (79cm), 14 inches wide (35cm), and 10 inches tall (26cm). Price: $339.99
The Mushroom Village by JonasKramm is hidden among leaves and flowers and is the home of forest elves. The elves live in a hollow tree stump, work in the mill, dig underground for crystals, and pick fresh berries from the fruit shop. They live in harmony with the animals and are supported by a butterfly and a ladybug mount. This lovely model comes with 2,427 pieces. Price: $209.99
The Antique Shop by ThatOneGuySteve is located in the heart of a small town and is sure to have exactly what you’re looking for. The shopkeeper who lives on the 2nd floor converted his house so that he could buy and sell antiques, and he operates the shop himself. He even offers delivery on some of the larger items using his pickup truck! Feel free to browse around where you’ll find a wide variety of antiques, including a record player, sewing machine, vintage dishes and glassware, a grandfather clock, and so much more! This model comes with 1,912 pieces and features a detailed exterior and interior. Price: $149.99
Adventure in Transylvania by SleeplessNight is one of the most anticipated models in this round of the BrickLink Designer Program, and we can expect that it will sell out very quickly. It features a highly detailed Vampire Castle with lots of hidden and spooky play-features and comes with 4,000 pieces. Price: $349.99
The Popcorn Wagon by Mictur is a smaller model with 577 pieces, but is still packed with play features. You can take off the roof and the canopy to admire the details inside. Turn the golden knob on the front of the wagon to make the popcorn pop! Open the sliding glass door to prepare the next order or remove the steam engine for some periodic maintenance. The wagon is placed on a display stand and can be easily removed for play. The stand features a cobblestone road, a pavement, a lamp, and bright flowers. This model was inspired by colorful popcorn carts seen in amusement parks. The aim of the project was to design a smaller model that would fit a variety of city setups including parks, city squares, and beaches. With a bit of rework, it can even turn into a great LEGO Winter Village addition! Price: $54.99
Again, these unique LEGO sets released through the BrickLink Designer Program are highly popular and usually sell out very quickly. Often in just minutes. Pre-ordering starts tomorrow, so mark your calendar and set your alarm if you would like to get any of them.
