Community reactions to LEGO Bricklink Series 5 Sets make a good point

Now that the online community has had a chance to respond to the LEGO Bricklink Designer Program Series 5 sets, they have a good point.

The five finalists for Series 5 of the Bricklink Designer Program have been revealed, including one that was the most voted project in any series so far. The early reactions to these models on the LEGO Reddit have been remarkably positive, and the builds are going down well so far.

Some are particularly enthusiastic about Jonaskramm's Mushroom Village, intended to expand on the 964-piece mushroom house from the second series.

“I reserved the first mushroom house in this last round and was hoping this new one made it too,” Xippyi2 shares. “I look forward to building both in the future.”

Others similarly hope that this won't be Jonas' last builds to make it as a bricklink designer program set so they can make a miniature village.

"Oh yeah, great to see Jonas' design being picked again," Tranartrekkie said. "He's holding this up, we've finally got a really small fairytale village and I'm so here for it!"

A few fan designers jumped into the comments section on Reddit to thank the community for their support as well.

“I am the designer behind the ‘Popcorn Wagon,’ and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your amazing support along the way to making it all possible,” said Michalturzanski. “Congratulations to all of our fellow finalists – your designs are amazing and unique in their own way! Happy building.”

Datoneguy_steve also thanked the fans, saying, “I am the designer of the antique shop! So excited that my design was chosen, and so grateful for all the support!”

As the comments continued, some made a good point about a few fan designers being chosen for a second and even a third build as part of the Bricklink Designer program. Quantum0Explorer chimed in by saying, "The LEGO group should hire Sleeplessnight."

Noraetic agreed, sharing, “That’s the third Sleeplessnight set, and the second one Jonas and Krackenator chose in the Bricklink Designer program. At this point, the LEGO group should just hire them.”

Others in the comments aren't so thrilled about the fact that there are three designers in this series who were chosen earlier.

“I see it as a little unfair that one designer is always chosen for the majority of the program,” Killer_Greenstar noted.

It's a good point, and one that could carry more weight depending on what happens in future series, though there's a bit of a lack of argument that Sleeplessnight's builds are popular. Financially, it's a smart decision to keep picking them up for future sets.
