BrickLink Designer Program submissions now open

I'm also working on a submission it's a Modular building.

I really need to draw up some ideas for this. I too am on the medieval team, and I've been wanting to make something with a lot of throwback feel, but I imagine the parts available won't be quite what I'm hoping for. I may try to limit myself to the 400 piece minimum limit, just for challenge, or potentially 651 if I need three minifigs. But I feel like there's an opportunity for some smaller sets that can be used in a lot of neat ways.

I wonder if the submissions will be publicly viewable before the March 7th voting starts, just to have an idea of the level of competition to decide whether worth the time converting my mocs to design studio, creating instructions etc?

Good to know... looking forward to the Winter Chalet!

I submitted mine last night!

Working on a super fun playset that LEGO hasn't really done before in the way I'm doing it!

Something that isn't a modular :)

I feel ya Brick_Belt! I've been working on a spaceship model at about 2,000 pieces and to make instructions that is easily a couple hours a work day for a solid month. "

It appears you only need to hand in a final stud.io file, no actual instructions as far as I'm aware.

Help me out here... Is this pretty much like Lego Ideas or is it something else entirely?

Lego ideas mixed with kickstarter. The submissions have to be much more shelf ready than an ideas submission, then after being tweaked slightly they go up for the public to vote with their wallets, as in, they have to back the submission by placing an order. Any that reach the threshold of orders will be produced and shipped to backers.

Wow! I hope it doesn't take me that long. I used submidels and have it decided up well, but a lot of the model can't be assembled that was so I guess I will have to break them up.

Huh, it does say under the FAQs under "building experience"

"Separate your model into logical building steps and create instructions. This will help you check for errors which you’ll need to fix BEFORE uploading."

I wonder if it's not required at all then or just recommended to make sure the experience is smooth?

They haven't asked me for instructions, yet.

Maybe the building steps are already required in the final stud.io model. But I have a final build ready and no instructions so I wonder if such a thing will suffice dfor now, considering it would be way too much work to make instructions for something that may not be picked anyway.

Yeah that's probably more right

Is it possible to see all the submitted designs somewhere?

I just got my set submited
