Bricklink Designer Program 2028 Wave 1 MegaThread

https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/2028-wave-1/main.page

Bricklink Designer Program 2028 Wave 1 MegaThread

Welcome to the MegaThread for the BDP Series 2028 Wave 1 Crowd Support phase. Let's get straight to the important questions:

What?

  • It's time for the Bricklink Designer Program 2028 Wave 1 Crowd Support phase! This is your chance to vote for the projects that were submitted earlier in September. Your votes will help Bricklink decide which sets will eventually become official BDP sets.

Who?

  • Bricklink Designer Program entries are designed by fellow Lego fans. You may recognize some of them as successful creators on Rebrickable, from past BDP programs, or from the creations they've shared here in r/lego. The creators whose designs reach the review stage will work with Bricklink's Model Governance and Building Instructions teams to ensure the designs meet Lego's standards.

When?

  • The Crowd Support phase starts on Sep 30th. Voting will continue until Oct 14th. Next, those sets will all head into the review stage, and 5 sets will be announced on Nov 12th. Then a year later, in Oct 2027, those 5 sets will go up for crowd funding.

Where?

How?

  • In the comments below, fan creators can link to their projects and hopefully tell us a little more about the project. You can visit the BDP 2028 Wave 1 page and vote for the projects you'd like to become a set. You don't have to commit any money at this stage. That comes during Crowd Funding next year. It's free to vote!

What happened to BDP Series 10, 11, 12? Why 2028??

  • The Bricklink Designer Program has changed the name from Series numbers to Wave numbers in the year the sets are expected to release. You can read more about the program on their website.

Closing Notes

  • Still have questions? Ask them in the comments below!
  • Hey BDP creators, please keep your promotion for 2028 Wave 1 in this Megathread. In previous rounds we've had over 500 projects to vote for, so the promotional posts started drowning out everything else. Thanks for your cooperation. And good luck!

Those Involved:

Rule Reminders

Harassment:

We have a zero tolerance policy on harassment here at r/lego. Any users promoting the harassment of individuals involved, innocent or guilty, will be banned from the subreddit to protect those involved.

A reminder that members of Bricks & Minifigs staff, such as those in the videos, may be unaware of the situation and may have become unwilling participants in the current events.

If harassing comments get out of hand, we will resort to locking the post, although it will continue to be updated with new information.

Community Interference aka Brigading

A reminder that brigading is not tolerated and results in permanent bans. The following are examples of Brigading as specified by the Reddit Rules. If you coordinate interference of any other community in r/lego, you will be banned. We are Lego fans, not an angry mob.

Ban Appeals

Any accounts that believe they have been unfairly caught in the crossfire and posted with good intentions can request a review of their ban via modmail. If you just shared the B&M story prior to the Megathread, your ban will likely be overturned. Any bans resulting from harassing behavior or that meet the definition of brigading as defined by the Reddit Rules will not be overturned.

Please note that a number of accounts banned have also been banned site wide for breaking the Reddit TOS. These bans were made by the Reddit admins and cannot be reversed.

A statement from r/lego moderators

We do not support, condone, encourage or approve in any way of scams, theft, harassment or of police misconduct. We are providing a platform for all sides and supporters of this ongoing controversy to have a discussion. Moderators are not directly involved, so comments about moderation will continue to be removed per Rule 1. Send that feedback to modmail instead. We read all modmail!

We are not employees of any of the following organizations: Reddit, The Lego Company, Bricks & Minifigs, The Mormon Church, or any involved police department. We don't accept bribes from any of them (or anyone). We are volunteers moderating this community in our free time.

To the haters who said Ben faked the part in Mexico, these were taken 2 weeks ago.
