Every LEGO BrickLink Designer Program finalist – January 2026

A new wave of final LEGO BrickLink Designer Program set designs has been revealed, updating the list of every finalist in the program so far.

Another round of BrickLink Designer Program builds enters the crowdfunding phase next month, but before then, we can recap the journey the program has taken so far.

From the first series to the ninth, here's a look at every LEGO BrickLink Designer Program finalist as of January 2026.

Series 1

The BrickLink Designer Program's first series featured the start of the LEGO Castle craze on Bricklink, one of the program's smallest sets, a dip into the wild west and a train-compatible model, all of which forecasted the future of the program.

Series 2

Series 2 saw another couple of train models, and the start of a couple of BrickLink Designer Program set collections from what would be familiar designers. That's not to mention a massive Pirates model, a theme which returns in the next BrickLink Designer Program series to reach crowdfunding, at the time of writing.

Series 3

The third series of the program remains one of the most unique, featuring just one dip into familiar territory via LEGO Castle and otherwise being much more experimental with the selected fan designs. This includes another small set, a lost city and a waterside build with great underwater techniques.

Series 4

Series 4 of the BrickLink Designer Program features two of the most in-demand sets in all of the program, with two LEGO Castle models that sold out in a matter of minutes. On top of these was a continuation of a fan designer's original model collection and a new combination train and wild west build.

Series 5

The program finally broke 4,000 pieces in Series 5 with a return to LEGO Pirates in an intricate harbour model. While there was no full LEGO Castle model in this series, that didn't stop the demand for the theme's most adjacent build, leaning into horror and gothic architecture.

Series 6

Series 6 featured another modular building-compatible model, yet another LEGO Castle creation, another foray into the LEGO wild west, as well as two nature-centric builds that were much more experimental. This series' sets will soon be delivered to those who crowdfunded them in 2025.

Series 7

After the reveal of the final set designs yesterday, Series 7 of the BrickLink Designer Program will soon start crowdfunding, featuring another Castle-compatible creation, a display for individual elements, a friendly robot companion, a modular-ready restaurant and even a colossal Privateer ship.

Series 8

The upcoming eight series features yet another building to add to your modular street, a clever hot air balloon build, a different kind of castle and more for LEGO Trains collectors to pick up.

Series 9

Series 9's selection of sets has not received their final designs yet, but includes a tavern, another wild west build, a train depot and an idyllic fishing village. There's also a smaller and likely more affordable pumpkin patch creation.
