LEGO BrickLink Series 7 model has some excellent timing

In the final days of voting for the LEGO BrickLink Designer Program Series 7, one project has the fortunate benefit of excellent timing.

Looking through the 375 submissions in Series 7 in the final few days of the crowd vote, one build caught our eye for some lucky relevance to one of the newest official LEGO sets. LarsHaakon's recreation of Vincent van Gogh's bedroom in Arles – based on paintings from 1888 and 1889 – isn't quite as big as other projects pitched for a BrickLink set.

It uses 1,448 parts on a standard baseplate with all the details needed to depict the iconic room where the artist did some of his incredible work – including the painting that inspired 31215 Vincent van Gogh – Sunflowers. The new LEGO Art set is under two weeks from its launch, blessing LarsHaakon's project with a high level of relevance.

The possibility of displaying a recreation of the bedroom alongside a brick-built depiction of a painting that was created inside the room is sure to be tempting for LEGO fans in Series 7 of the BrickLink Designer Program. It's a level of relevancy not common in BrickLink builds, and an opportunity that would be challenging for any fan to predict. The fan-designed creation relates to a second LEGO set too – 21333 Vincent van Gogh - The Starry Night, though this one wasn't painted in the Arles bedroom.

Still, the LEGO Group's Vincent van Gogh collection could easily expand with a third, more limited model via Series 7 of the BrickLink Designer Program. That said, LarsHaakon's model is up against some stiff competition including buildings, castles and much more.

While we wait to see the results of Series 7, you can vote on any number of the 375 projects by clicking here. 31215 Vincent van Gogh – Sunflowers debuts in LEGO Stores and at LEGO.com on March 1, 2025, for £169.99 / $199.99 / €199.99 and is available to pre-order now.
