Riverside Scholars Reviews
Brick Fanatics
“Hanwas’ The Riverside Scholars model follows their Mountain Windmill set in their collection of fantastical buildings blended with the natural landscape, complete with a waterfall and four minifigures.”
Brick Fanatics
“The latest in Hanwas’ collection of BrickLink builds is the Riverside Scholars, which hasn’t changed all that much considering the rest of the series. Though some building techniques have changed to more reliable methods, the layout remains the same and only a single... More minifigure has been added for a parts difference of less than 80 elements.”
About Bricklink Designer Program Series 4
BrickLink Designer sets are custom LEGO sets created by fans and produced through a collaboration between LEGO and BrickLink, an online marketplace for LEGO products. The process begins with a submission phase where LEGO enthusiasts submit their original designs. These designs are then voted on by the LEGO community, and the most popular ones move forward to a crowdfunding phase. During this phase, fans can pre-order the sets they want to see produced. If a set meets the required number of pre-orders, it goes into production and becomes available as a limited-edition set. This initiative allows LEGO fans to bring unique and innovative designs to market, providing an opportunity for creative expression and community engagement.
Designer Program Series 4 curently consists of 5 sets, all released this year.

The Riverside Scholars is the next set in my original theme, The Mountain Windmill Series. The theme was created whilst writing a story for my sons.

I’m extremely happy to bring the third set in the series, The Riverside Scholars, to a Bricklink Designer Program!
