BrickLink Designer Program Series 4 Update

It has officially been a week since the BrickLink Designer Program Series 4 pre-orders went live and here’s a quick update on what has been happening there.

Two of the sets sold out within the first few hours which include the Medieval Seaside Market and the Siege Encampment and that wasn’t too surprising as they were fairly hyped before pre-orders went live. The other three sets have been funded and will go into production with the Wild West Train being the next one to perhaps sell out. Merchant Boat and Riverside Scholars are currently funded at about 25% with 18 days left.

There’s still plenty of time to get your orders in and if they don’t sell out, they’ll be the more limited edition sets as less of them would be produced.


Merchant Boat – 2,180 pieces/$169.99


Wild West Train – 3,192 pieces/$279.99


Riverside Scholars – 2,769 pieces/$199.99

LEGO Icons Optimus Prime (10302) Sale – February 2025

Amazon currently has a sale going on for the LEGO Icons Optimus Prime (10302) for 20% off. As of this post, it is listed for $143.99 and you can save $36 on the set. It hasn’t been his low since late December. Optimus Prime was released back in 2022 so it’s shelf life is way past the two years mark so chances are it should be retiring later this year. It is still one of my favorite sets to build and one of the very few that is built and displayed.
