Bricklink's AFOL Designer Program 2024

Round 7 is out now. Talk about castle fatigue 1/3 of the sets are castle based. 
This looks unique.

Good grief, Round 7.  At this point, they should just set aside two of the five slots to be chosen for production, and give them over to castle.  They're gonna be castle/viking/medieval/wizard sets no matter what.  And let the rest of the Lego fans of the world have three of the five winning sets to be anything else.  There are a few sets in that lot that I'd like to have, but I have to say that a lot of the non-castle sets are rather underwhelming.

My series three sets are in warehouse. yay  As far as series 7 voting I liked the portal of shadows the most. If it doesn't make it, I plan to build something inspired by it.

Got my S3 sets today. Don't think my Insider/VIP points have been credited yet? Can't seen to go back far enough in my past orders to confirm...

MY points were credited when I got email after payment went through. If you have your sets in hand I'd think your points should've been added.

When I contacted Lego they could see on their end that my points were credited, but not double points (as was the promo when I ordered the sets). Nevertheless, they quickly credited me the extra points. All good.

Looks like they are going to increase the set limit to 50K just in time for Adventure in Transylvania. Waiting for the early review video some of them are up already.

Interesting, but not surprising. 

For me, I'm not buying these sets as investments...so being able to secure a copy to build is more important than long-term value. Who knows, having a higher production run might make these sets more mainstream and in turn, accessible and desirable?

The fast pace of these sets have only hurt my wallet more than helped, made $50 here and there but for the most part a lot sets I have waiting for me to build. I hope they change the cadence to like once a year because I would like to continue to support and enjoy the program but for me personally it’s becoming difficult.
