Designer Program Series 3 is a subtheme of BrickLink introduced in 2024 and currently consists of 5 sets. All sets were released in 2024. As of today, the average annual growth of sets in BrickLink Designer Program Series 3 is approximately 22.8% but this should level out to around 13.7% in the coming years. This change in annual growth is primarily due to the initial retirement of these sets.
The BrickLink Designer Program Series 3 is a fan-driven initiative where LEGO enthusiasts submit custom designs for potential production as official LEGO sets. The program involves a voting process to select finalists, followed by a crowdfunding phase where supporters can pre-order their favorite designs. Sets that reach a minimum of 3,000 pre-orders will be produced, with a cap of 30,000 units per set. The five selected sets for Series 3 are Harbormaster’s Office, The Art of Chocolate, Forest Stronghold, Camping Adventure and Lost City. Pre-ordering started on October 8th, 2024 with production and shipment in March 2025.
