BrickLink Designer Program Series 4 Submissions Ending Soon

If you want to get your submissions to the BrickLink Designer Program Series 4, you have about five days left to enter. Submissions will end on January 26 and the crowd support for the projects will start shortly on February 5 where fans can vote for what sets they want to buy. BrickLink will do an internal review for the top ones and the final five designs will be announced in March.

As we can tell from the Series 3 sets, you don’t need to create huge sets to be selected as there can be smaller ones that can make the final cut as well.

LEGO Legend of Zelda Great Deku Tree (77092) Rumored for 2024 Release

There’s a new rumor that we could finally be getting a LEGO Legend of Zelda set with the Great Deku Tree (77092). Word has it that it’ll be released in September and it has 2,500 pieces. If you’re not familiar with the Great Deku Tree, it was first introduced in Ocarina of Time, then later appears in The Wind Waker, Breath of the Wild, and Tears of the Kingdom and is the guardian of the Kokiri. The rumor also suggests that there will be a few characters from Hyrule including Link with his Hylian Shield. The pricing is still unknown at this time but I expect it to be around $300+ given the piece count and licensing costs.

LEGO has been working more with Nintendo brands with Super Mario and Donkey Kong so it’s not much of a surprise that the Legend of Zelda will finally complete the iconic trio of Nintendo characters. LEGO fans have long awaited for a Legend of Zelda set as there have been numerous projects on LEGO CUUSOO and LEGO Ideas for this game but every one of them haven’t passed their respective review stages.

As always, these are purely rumors until LEGO announces them or images show up at an online shop.

LEGO Releases Paper Packaging Behind the Scenes Video

A few years ago, LEGO announced that sets will be having paper bags for packaging and so far there have been various sets that have achieved that. They have just released a behind the scenes video of the manufacturing process from the factory showing LEGO bricks being packaged in the bags. Europe and Asia have already had sets with the paper bags and the Americas will be coming soon.
