Bricklink's AFOL Designer Program finalists have been selected and are now available for pre-order. Sets meeting sales goal would be produced and shipped out by May 2019. Being a castle/historical builds fan I was so happy to see a castle set, the Löwenstein Castle, being on the list! The castle looks fantastic to me. The price is a little steep, but as of this writing is already 47% funded, so chance of it becoming a reality is extremely high.

WooHoo!

Your order is being prepared!

Thank you for your patience. We're happy to inform you that your order is almost ready. Your credit card was successfully charged

Still no hot shot carnival game for me ugh amongst others

Sent from my SM-G955U using Brickpicker Forum mobile app

My castles just shipped!

Only science tower remains on my list!

Question, how many responded to address confirm Email?  I did not,  as I had received my hot shot and figured all was ok.  Left wondering now since no others have shipped.

I only ordered the fire truck, which is apparently on its way according to Bricklink, and I did not confirm my email.

I read that e-mail that action is only required if your address was wrong. As in, they will still mail to your originally selected address, unless they hear otherwise.

Also, I've received Hot Shot, Wild West Saloon, and The LEGO Story. Got a shipping notification for Bikes and Fire Engine, but have not received yet. Several more not shipped yet.

Live edit: Literally just received Bikes.

I 

I Haven't built much LEGO as the weathers been awesome.  I'm not worried about Bricklink so far so good ,other sets will ship out soon. thanks for the info folks:)  Here is a pic of my amusement park currently. Albeit little boring without the humorous/risque or downright UN P.C. mini figure posing that is removed for now.  Just sharing,  Little messy but Tough getting pics of my whole city, Its quite large and usually cluttered with build in place projects making it IMO less photogenic.

Love it! - It's great to see someone having LEGO fun (I miss having LEGO fun). There was a time (for many years), when every day was Christmas.

 

Still waiting for any news on the Science Tower and the Vintage Roadster. Wonder when Bricklink will start shipping out those sets...

Me too! Yay! No word yet on 8 Studs. 

For those of you that paid with Paypal, were you charged originally with the order, or when it shipped?

I'm surprised with as many people that have received orders there aren't more listings on eBay.

Built 3 of the 5 received so far.

That was my most reasonable guess was that they're being kept to build, or kept to hang on to for a while.  Even still, I figured someone somewhere would have bought 3 of something, you know, build one, save one, sell one, something along those lines.  In the US, there's just a couple of Hot Shot Carnival sets listed for $140-150 and a "pre-order" of the castle for $499... expanding to international just adds a single Wild West Saloon for $340 and a single The Lego Story for $225.  With all the shipments starting to flush out we're at a very interesting time, should be seeing more pop up for sale over the next week or two for sure.

And most are still available to buy, too. Will be interesting when the dust settles

Patience, patience... Sheesh. My Science Tower shipped on Monday, but is still in California (I'm on the east coast). Says I might get it NEXT Saturday...

My science tower still has yet to ship.

Same. I don't mind waiting but I am really looking forward to the ST and VR builds. Building the Lunar Lander in the meantime.

Bricklink's ability to fulfill orders might be the biggest challenge to them doing this again. They don't seem set up right to do this very efficiently. I've received 1 of 4 sets pre-ordered.

At least they seem to have their s*** together when it comes to packaging the items, so even if people are waiting, they are getting the items in good condition.

so already better than LEGO Shop at Home, Amazon, TArget, and Walmart

 

...altho waiting 3-6 months instead of 1 to 3 days is a bit of a bummer

Bricklink asks for the payment only when the order is ready. No paying in advance.
