That’s when Lego will start promoting 5 limited-edition units which can be actually a fan dream come true: followers entered a BrickLink Designer Program contest to create these Lego units all by themselves, they usually’ll get 5 % of the proceeds!

Lego believes the units ought to ship in July 2024, however “precise dates and delivery instances could differ.”

Lego may even be making extra of those fan-designed units than ever earlier than. Whereas earlier fan creations had been restricted to 10,000 copies or fewer, and Lego initially introduced it will be making as much as 20,000 of this batch, the corporate now says the restrict is 30,000. Meaning these units might not be as precious for collectors as earlier batches, most of which have already doubled in worth, however hopefully, which means fewer scalpers!

It additionally means the fan designers of the largest units might earn royalties of round half one million {dollars}. Think about that.
