It’s crunch time as there is only less than eight hour to submit your projects for the BrickLink Designer Program Series 1. One month flew by as BrickLink started the new program which allows you to submit your models to be considered one of the sets that BrickLink could make. Crowd Support for Series 1 will start next week on March 7 and fans will be able to vote for their favorite submissions. The Review stage will happen a month after with the final five designs being announced in May.

LEGO’s social media accounts has posted a teaser of a LEGO House exclusive product coming on March 1. It will be pirate themed as you can see from the video. Designer Stuart Harris is dressed up in a pirate costume and pulls out a drawer with a treasure chest. We’ll see in less than a week of what’s the next exclusive from the LEGO House.

Square Enix has announced that they are doing a LEGO contest to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Final Fantasy VII. They are asking what Final Fantasy VII setting do you want to see build in LEGO and there are four choices which include Aerith’s House, Honeybee Inn, Sector 5 Slums Church, and Water Tower Nibelheim.

FF7 is my favorite RPG of all time and I would like to see the slums church in LEGO form but my hearts goes to Aerith’s house. If I’m guessing, the build will most likely be created by a LEGO Certified Professional. It doesn’t look like there will be any official sets based on the game but as a fanatic, it’ll be cool to see anything FF7 in LEGO.

To round off Final Fantasy VII’s 25th anniversary year we want you to vote for one of four classic scenes, that we’ll remake with Lego.

We’ll then give away the final piece as a prize in a contest later this year.

Cast your vote in the next VII days: https://t.co/yzbgimguB4 pic.twitter.com/tseJT39a5s

The LEGO brick was patented in Denmark 65 years ago as LEGO celebrates LEGO Brick Patent Day. Without the patent, we wouldn’t be able to enjoy the hobby we have today. The Danish patent was the first one filed and the applications for subsequent countries followed in the months after. There are still limited edition patent prints available in the LEGO Rewards Center which cost 650 points each. I’m surprised that they didn’t drop them to 150 like they did last year.

All Enfield employees will have a position at the new Boston office and will get relocation assistance if they wish to move. Those who don’t want to relocate will receive financial support and job placement assistance to transition to new opportunities outside the company.
