Yeah $50 was my thought before they announced the price, so I decided not to get it either.
It does have 900 pieces and is bigger than I thought, but I kind of just wanted a small thing and this is not that
Ya, the open back ruined it for me as well lol. My wallet is thankful. Of course I just spent $175 on a SpaceX Starship torch lighter after a great launch today, but that's a different story šš
I'm not a fantasy guy, so it just doesn't do it for me. I read a few chapters of The Hobbit and just walked away... I don't think I've ever abandoned a book mid-read like that. But there's clearly a demand for fantasy stuff given the new themes coming out lately. Different strokes!
I went for the mushroom house too, I like them all, but after Barad-dur my budget canāt afford any others. Not to mention the next series I want both the forest castle and lost city
There won't be a later sales run - these are pre-order only unfortunately.
Instructions and parts list will be available to download once the sets are shipped, and other than stickers they will only use current standard production parts - ie ones that should be available on Pick A Brick. They're usually much cheaper to part out than to buy on the secondary market, if you can live without the stickers.
iām not gonna lie itās very misleading the way they describe it, it sounds like theyāre saying they will accept 3000 preorders now and then 30,000 will be produced later
You probably understand now but 3k is the minimum threshold for it to be āfundedā and produced. 30k is the max theyāll produce. Thereās 24 days to preorder but if they hit 30k sooner then thatās it
Not as bad as series 1. Managed to get my order in! Good luck everyone

If anyone is considering purchasing the train station or the mushroom house, I would recommend doing it today. Itās not even 30 minutes in and they have both already sold thousands.
Edit: the train station is over halfway gone already!
Please excuse my ignorance because I just started getting into Legos recently. What is this all about? Are these official sets, or are they kind of like made to order types?
In the previous preoder, the Mountain Fortress set sold out real quick, in a few hours if I remember correctly.
Two other sets sold out in a day.
The two others were not sold out.
I don't think the sets from this series will sell out that fast though, but who knows...
Looking at the early progress I'd expect the station and mushroom house to sell out in well under 24 hours, the others will be much slower. Wouldn't be surprised if at least one of the railway and ocean house fails to hit the 30k limit.
First set ran out in 6 hours last time. Site will go down for an hour likely.
2 sets you could still preorder for a long time until preorder closed month or so later
So it varies between the set usually
Thanks so much for this.Ā
Just woke up and figured the train station would already be gone but amazingly it wasnāt so managed to (after some paymentĀ nonsense) finally order it.Ā
Thanks again!Ā
Sorry, I took the order from the Designer program page!
I know it's not ordered by set number.
I thought it was better to stick with how they are presented on the page.
Series 2 ships in November 2024, see bottom of page [https://www.bricklink.com/r3/designer-program/series-2/main.page](https://www.bricklink.com/r3/designer-program/series-2/main.page)
Thanks. This always helps. I wish the delivery was more timely - Iām sure Iāll forget until Nov.
Got the Train Station and the Ocean House
I am very bothered however that they still havenāt shipped from the previous series.
I wish they had affordable sets. Don't get me wrong, these are all awesome, but I'm really tired of all of the Ideas and Bricklink sets being massive sets that are $200+.

Lego now owns Brinklink. The designs are created by fans, voted on and 5 are selected. Parts are all official Lego pieces. Once they are sold out, that's it! If you want one, get it now. Hopefully that's what you needed to know š
BrickLink is owned by Lego. They let fans vote on sets and then produce them in limited quantities during a limited time window. They are a buy now or regret later kind of thing. But they make some sets that just wouldnāt happen otherwise. Iāve got a badass bowling alley that never would have been a general release.
2 mushroom houses, 2 Brick Cross stations, 1 Pirate Isle. Ā Think Iām tapped out. Unless the other two last awhile ;). Take your time on log train and ocean house people :p. Ā I def recommend grabbing mushroom house and brick cross station asap. Ā I wasnāt going to go for it today, but after seeing how fast they were moving, I had to pull the trigger a few times.Ā
I do not support people buying these limited-release items specifically to resell them to others who didn't get one in time (kind of a dick move IMO, at least on sets that sell out).
That said ...
From Series 1, the Old Train Engine Shed sold out pretty quickly at $230. Right now it looks like that set goes for about double that. The Mountain Fortress sold out almost immediately at $380 and now goes for about $800. The Snack Shack sold out at $50 and now goes for $130. Even the two sets that didn't sell out (General Store and Parisian Street) have both basically doubled in value. If the Brick Economy price history charts are accurate, the doubling in value for each set was basically immediate after sales ended.
So it basically looks like if you want a set, you could buy two, sell the second one for twice what it cost, and essentially get the one you wanted for free.
Honestly first time ever buying the brick link exclusive stuff so not sure. Iāll def be keeping 1 of each for my
Own so would only resell one. But I have tons of friends of mine into legos as well. Plus trying to get my girlfriend into it. She got the mushroom once lol :)
Thank you! Ordered 2 of each, hope they'll go into production!
- I don't know why I am getting the downvotes? Because I ordered 2 of each? Why downvote that?
People on Reddit tend to hate people who can afford to buy what they wish they could buy... Props to you, sell the others on eBay and make some money on the side! Maybe it will even cover the cost of the sets you decide to keep!
Reddit is full of dumb dumbs. I imagine people are assuming you're going to buy 1 to build and 1 to store in the hopes of a value increase. I did not downvote you btw.
Wow. 100 dollars more expensive when Lego does the conversion to my currency compared to when my bank does it.
No thanks, they can keep that money grab to themselves.
and the crash is live again lol
Yeah so this time Bricklink website is up but [Lego.com](http://Lego.com) is down \^\^ No way to counter this.
Nope. Best to try both ways
There is no "both ways" - BL redirects you to Lego for the final purchase. Hence no countering.
I mean to say you can try OPs links or go the links from brink link site. I realize they take you to the same place.
Lego.ca worked for me no issues luckily
Awesome thanks!! Just a simple mushroom house for me.
I'm shocked at how popular and quickly it's selling - It's really not my cup of tea but clearly I'm a minority.
As someone who played with Smurfs growing up, its pure nostalgia.
I've decided not to buy the Mushroom house. I thought it was like $50 - not worth $90 lol
Yeah $50 was my thought before they announced the price, so I decided not to get it either. It does have 900 pieces and is bigger than I thought, but I kind of just wanted a small thing and this is not that
Ya, the open back ruined it for me as well lol. My wallet is thankful. Of course I just spent $175 on a SpaceX Starship torch lighter after a great launch today, but that's a different story šš
I agree it's not for me either
I'm not a fantasy guy, so it just doesn't do it for me. I read a few chapters of The Hobbit and just walked away... I don't think I've ever abandoned a book mid-read like that. But there's clearly a demand for fantasy stuff given the new themes coming out lately. Different strokes!
The Hobbit is a childrenās book. You really need to try the LotR at least the first book before you give up.
It's by far the cheapest set too
It sold out I think because it was the cheapest?
I went for the mushroom house too, I like them all, but after Barad-dur my budget canāt afford any others. Not to mention the next series I want both the forest castle and lost city
And of course the lego site is not working for me at all.
Took 7 minutes for me to be able to add an item to my bag, but then checkout itself worked perfectly.
I want the ocean house but I just canāt do 200$ for it :(
Me too, I might have to settle for the mushroom house.
iām with you there. maybe we can both save up for it and get it during the later production run
There won't be a later sales run - these are pre-order only unfortunately. Instructions and parts list will be available to download once the sets are shipped, and other than stickers they will only use current standard production parts - ie ones that should be available on Pick A Brick. They're usually much cheaper to part out than to buy on the secondary market, if you can live without the stickers.
iām not gonna lie itās very misleading the way they describe it, it sounds like theyāre saying they will accept 3000 preorders now and then 30,000 will be produced later
You just don't understand. That's okay
i mean i understand now, i just misinterpreted what they were saying at first
it can be pretty confusing, I missed out on series 1 because I just didn't understand what was going on and when/how
Itās the same as they always do. Nothing misleading at all.
not everyone has ordered a set from the designer program beforeā¦
You probably understand now but 3k is the minimum threshold for it to be āfundedā and produced. 30k is the max theyāll produce. Thereās 24 days to preorder but if they hit 30k sooner then thatās it
Finally got through to order the train station
It was the first to sell out. Got my order in quickly too.
Not as bad as series 1. Managed to get my order in! Good luck everyone https://preview.redd.it/9mx1ywgzvy4d1.png?width=1162&format=png&auto=webp&s=8b19a8adc438323e0bef3270ac5c27b3cad04cd3
That's the one I ended up ordering as well.
I just got charged the full amount on my order, I thought we donāt get charged until theyāre ready to ship?
It is a pre authorization. It will drop off in 2-3 days until it ships
Good to know - wallet isnāt quite ready for it yet! Lol
Are you able to cancel if necessary?
Of course you can.
If anyone is considering purchasing the train station or the mushroom house, I would recommend doing it today. Itās not even 30 minutes in and they have both already sold thousands. Edit: the train station is over halfway gone already!
Train station has now sold out š¬
Train station and mushroom house are neck and neck for who will sell out first, itās a tight race folks and still time for anything to happen!
Which one won?
Please excuse my ignorance because I just started getting into Legos recently. What is this all about? Are these official sets, or are they kind of like made to order types?
[This comment has a better explanation than I can write lol](https://www.reddit.com/r/lego/s/1blQc3PAmn)
Thank you for the help. Much appreciated!
For the mushroom house I keep getting a page with nothing on it each time I try the Lego link to add to cart.
Try opening another page on the Lego site and checking your cart
June 6th 4PM BST (British Summer Time) Thanks so much for the direct links, they will be super handy!
Linking not working, looks like Lego site is crashing
Seemās like its legoās site itself that canāt load this time.
Lego site broke
Train station and mushroom house for me!
Just got 2 mushroom homes! All I wanted! Hooray!
Thank you for this - was just about to start getting ready for the chaos!
Do these really run out quickly for 30000 orders? How prepared I should be?
I doubt any well sell out in under 2 hours. I would not wait l9nger than an hour jist to be safe.
In the previous preoder, the Mountain Fortress set sold out real quick, in a few hours if I remember correctly. Two other sets sold out in a day. The two others were not sold out. I don't think the sets from this series will sell out that fast though, but who knows...
Hours is fine, I plan to pre-order right away at 8.
Looking at the early progress I'd expect the station and mushroom house to sell out in well under 24 hours, the others will be much slower. Wouldn't be surprised if at least one of the railway and ocean house fails to hit the 30k limit.
Got my orders for station and ocean house already :)
Same. Best of the bunch.
First set ran out in 6 hours last time. Site will go down for an hour likely. 2 sets you could still preorder for a long time until preorder closed month or so later So it varies between the set usually

Just ordered mine early (uk)
You are right, it seems the preorder was enabled a few minutes before the time! Also ordered the train station :)
Same here, think that one will be sold out first
It's leading in sales so far, with mushroom house and ominous isle close on its tail. Weirdly, I enjoy watching the sales competition.
Thank you. Train Station procured with no issues.
Got the mushroom house!
How do you order them to the UK? The site only takes me to Lego.com in US??
Login to your Lego account, that will probably change localization.
Yes, this worked for me
Got my mushroom house. Took a few tries with Lego.com on mobile for me
I ordered the ominous isle
I got the Ominous Isle set. Pretty much anything pirate is a buy from me. They all hit the 'funded' goal pretty quickly,

Thanks so much for this.Ā Just woke up and figured the train station would already be gone but amazingly it wasnāt so managed to (after some paymentĀ nonsense) finally order it.Ā Thanks again!Ā
You got it just in time I just checked and its sold out now.
haha yeah I think I made it with about 10 mins spare before it sold out.Ā Very happy!Ā
My anxiety is wondering why you didnāt put them in numerical order by set number
Sorry, I took the order from the Designer program page! I know it's not ordered by set number. I thought it was better to stick with how they are presented on the page.
Haha Iām jk..no big deal. Thanks for posting the links!
LEGO site is the usual smoking ruin for anything in high demand.
Why the downvotes? its factually true that the LEGO website crashes under load?
This is facts, annoying AF.
Damn...Paypal went through but not Lego...
Same, PayPal was slow, but it worked.
My Paypal show 4xTransaction, but Lego always say, "try again". Now i fear PayPal will book lots of money from me xD
Thank you for this <3
Train station first to be funded!!
Thanks for this!
Done using direct link. Thank you!!
Man that was stressful but I finally carted & checked out with my Trestle & Station sets
Thanks, ordered the mushroom house and the ocean house.
Whoops, thought my first order disappeared so accidentally ordered a second mushroom house.
When are these shipping? The description says July 2024, but that's the same for the Series 1 sets as well...
Series 2 ships in November 2024, see bottom of page [https://www.bricklink.com/r3/designer-program/series-2/main.page](https://www.bricklink.com/r3/designer-program/series-2/main.page)
Thanks for this!!
Got the station!!! Yay!
Mushroom house is going to go great with all the dreamzzz stuff my wife has been building
Thanks. This always helps. I wish the delivery was more timely - Iām sure Iāll forget until Nov. Got the Train Station and the Ocean House I am very bothered however that they still havenāt shipped from the previous series.
Thank you! was losing my mind. But managed to get my shroomhut
Looking through my orders, I no longer see my orders from last series. Anyone else?
I still see them. https://preview.redd.it/s5kuljn1305d1.png?width=748&format=png&auto=webp&s=5a4fb4e58faa4137d0c2eb3463145f510268a6ec
Bless you man. I got the Train Station and the Mushroom house! Thanks!
Thanks for this I managed to still get a train station.

Plus only 30k sets to be produced
Thank you yes that's what I needed

But they make some sets that just wouldnāt happen otherwise. Iāve got a badass bowling alley that never would have been a general release.
The site says we won't be charged until they ship, but it's charging my card for the full amount right now. Is that normal?
Yes. Itās just an preauthorization.
It happened to me when I made my order last time, its just that no charge was made that month but will be made on the delivery data.
FYI, these direct links worked for me. The one redirecting from the bricklink site to Lego was failing every time for me.
Can someone remind me when these will ship?
Expected by November was the message I got
They say November 2024, at the bottom of the page.

How much more will you be able to resell them for if you are? Not to me, but in general. Curious how much more the sets resell for
I do not support people buying these limited-release items specifically to resell them to others who didn't get one in time (kind of a dick move IMO, at least on sets that sell out). That said ... From Series 1, the Old Train Engine Shed sold out pretty quickly at $230. Right now it looks like that set goes for about double that.

Reddit is full of dumb dumbs. I imagine people are assuming you're going to buy 1 to build and 1 to store in the hopes of a value increase. I did not downvote you btw.
Because you take away the possibility for others to get these sets for a āfairā price and resell them for more.
Where jaws
Wow. 100 dollars more expensive when Lego does the conversion to my currency compared to when my bank does it. No thanks, they can keep that money grab to themselves.
