A Report by and on the site "Brick Fanatics" Talks of launching failed Ideas sets through BrickLink or an ADP second wave. Sounds like a survey going.  Didn't yet read too much into it. Sounds interesting to me for sure though.

 

 

Looks like w/ every new sets release, there is a hype bump for older (past) BL sets.  I would have thought all the new sets would "water down" interest but seems to have opposite effect.

 

Thanks for sharing. I like it but don't love it. Will need to decided if I'm going to keep or sell!

BrickLink members may pre-order their favorite sets, with a limit of 2 of each set per household. All sets that receive over 3,000 pre-orders will be produced. Up to 20,000 of each set will be manufactured during a limited, one-time production run.

Ouch, up to 20k of each may hurt the secondary market values. Have to be a little bit choosier on which sets to back now.

Curious what people are doing with their sets from the first couple of rounds. Tempted to sell my Lego Store and Venetian Houses during the holidays. Current prices see decent.

My original intent want to keep and build these to augment my modular buildings collection. But not sure now...

I'm hoping for another round of appreciation when the third round ships and/or BL starts the next cycle. New buyers become aware and some sellers will have cashed out already.

20k is still a small number compared to the mass production of other lego sets....I'll be buying again with no worries....As always YMMV

But limit is now 2 per person, not like round 2 and 3 where limit was 1, so there is a possibility that 10K extra sets go to the resale market.

 

 

 

And… there is much less overall awareness and or desire for these sets. Timmy’s parents certainly aren’t going to buy them. Because Timmy doesn’t even know they exist. It’s really interesting to see the difference in views on my Facebook marketplace listings. Bricklink sets have way fewer views.

I understand completely where both u and Pseudoty are coming from but again i'll glady take my chances......And also it also depends on the sets that are made.....If they knock it out of the park with the quality they'll have no problems selling out....If they're overpriced and not worth the $$$ and wait time i'll pass....But i have a feeling they won't disappoint.....Like they say...We shall see!

Pics are up of the Round 3 sets due out this spring. The Chalet is going to cost me. 

Lego store now up to $500

couldnt find any pics, but I saw this verbiage and thought it was very interesting they are now calling this wave series 1 and the designer program is now to be permanent.

did you initially not get the winter chalet?!?   Also curious about the pics youve seen?!  From the BL website, they havent even opened up submissions yet. Feb.1st...

The boxes for the next round to be released, Round 3 not Series 1, due out this Spring 2023, including the Chalet,  were on a Dutch website and have since been taken down. 

I wanted the Chalet and Diner for my personal collection, but unfortunately missed them both.

They all look good but the observatory really got a tuneup

Me too. I *think* I got an observatory. I know I missed on the winter set, really wish I had got that one. 

noobs, just order all and dont have to remember anything

Anyone looking to unload a Winter Chalet - I have cash standing by

I got charged for my orders in the last week, looking forward to receiving the sets. 

You have until the end of this month to “vote” for the ones you like, only 375 entries to look at, ugh.
