Series 6 of the BrickLink Designer Program is fast approaching and there has been some changes to the guidelines for builders!
This September sees the start of Series 6, when designers and builders alike can submit their set ideas to be put into a fan vote and ultimately be selected to become real LEGO/Bricklink sets. Amongst the many updates there are a couple in particular that stand out the most, Modular Buildings – Submissions will no longer be accepted. Reading through the long list of guidelines, Buildings in general are fine as long as they aren’t based on the well established LEGO Modular Building format, removable floors in rows, baseplates patterns, and so on.
Another new rule, this time surrounding animals and fossil fuels, have been added. The depiction of historic vehicles such as Steam Trains and alike remain acceptable. Animals in zoos, circuses, aquariums or other situations that are designed for human entertainment are no longer permitted.
Also the use of preexisting faction titles is no longer allowed, this includes names of Castle and Space factions and other groups. In short I urge builders to read through the fill statement issued by Bricklink to get a better understanding of what is allowed and what isn’t.
