These 5 designs will now undergo further refinement before crowdfunding opens in October 2024 (yup, nearly a whole year away), where if any of these designs receive 3,000 pre-orders, they’ll officially be produced as a Bricklight Designer Program Series 3 set, shipping out in March 2025.
Successful designers will be limited to 20,000 copies worldwide, with a household limit of 2.
Here’s a look at the key milestones for Bricklink Designer Program Series 3.

The Art of Chocolate is truly beautiful. The build includes many clever techniques, adding pleasing curves and angles. The fact that it opens up to reveal the process of making chocolate is also impressive. The creator, brickester, should be very proud of his accomplishment.
No teapots?!
As much of a Castle junkie I am, not really warmed up to Forest Stronghold yet. It seemed like one of the less polished Castle/Medieval oriented options. Being open back clashing with closed recent sets isn’t helping but maybe I’ll be convinced by the final build to pop on it.
Of all I like Camp Ground best. It is quite charming and will go great scale wise with Snack Shack from S1 I plan on. Together the two show how great a small footprint build can be.
While I am very sad the two transforming teapots didn’t make it, I do really like that Lost City one. Has some of the Rivendell vibe, and would probably fit on a shelf in my house better.
The chocolate one is awesome
I can’t say that I am excited by any of the finalists but if you have 21310 Old Fishing Store the Harbormaster’s Office would go well with it and The Art of Chocolate looks like it would be nice in a Winter Village.
I like that Harbourmaster’s Office one, it seems nice and I love the details!
The Art of Chocolate one! I love how it opens in the back!
