BrickLink

Are you ready to talk about some amazing Lego news and rumors? That's right.

We get to talk BrickLink Designer Program.

It's back.

We've got some official images with Downton Abbey.

And I appreciate knowing you no matter how you are tuning in.

So like I say, what do you say? Should we get stuck in? It is one of my favorite things to talk about here on this podcast.

So longtime listeners will know I love BrickLink Designer Program.

I just think pound for pound, it is literally the best thing that Lego has going for it because it's like Lego ideas, but on steroids, right? Every...

On this week's Bricking News, the Bricklink Designer Program Series 9 has revealed their sets and the costs.

We get a new Book Nook, and Zelda: Ocarina of Time gets a fun set that'll be coming out soon.

All that and more on this week's Bricking News.

Um, this is really focused on, you know, the K through 12 range, more likely the K through 4 or 5 range.

But it's a fun way to get the family out as well, and I've never been to the Ford Museum, and I, uh, I think that that's a, a fun way to get the family out and maybe get me up to Michigan.

[digital effects] The Bricklink Designer Program Series nine sets have officially been revealed by Bricklink.

Usually, when they go through and they get selected, then it takes time for refining, uh, some of those builds, the process, some of the set pieces and things like that until we get the official images and reveal, including pricing.

So let's run through these five now.

Yeah.

See, the Bricklink

names are stupid.

That's why I never use them.

Blind orphans.

When I go to the blind orphan factory and come out with Bionicle fans.

so moving on to the makuta we've got first up krika my goat uh set number eight six nine four krika has 40 parts and his color scheme that's way less yeah that's way less but it's higher than what you would think just looking at yeah he looks like a little yeah His color scheme is listed in Bricklink as milky white with marbled red and then black.

So the milky white with marbled red is like all one.

We talk a lot, blah, blah, blah, about this and that nonsense.

Who's we? And then in our own videos, you talk about your BrickLink nonsense, and I talk about my Lego City nonsense.

And we just talk about all the stuff that's going on in our boring lives, trying to pretend like we're interesting people.

And then we come here, and everybody knows what's going on in our lives because they watch our videos.

Unless he catches him in the act.

But anyways.

So I think excluding the parts from my collection, I placed like a $700 BrickLink order to get all this.

Wow.

The other thing is the pick a brick online I think can...

For the most part, can tend to be a little bit better than BrickLink.

A, because you're buying new pieces, but B, because it's all shipping from Lego.

So it's a free shipping as long as it's over $35 sort of thing.

So that can tend to be better.

BrickLink, I think, would be the next best bet.

However, the only caveat is watch out because the more sellers you have to buy from, the more shipping you have to pay for.

And so there have been times where I've placed 14 different orders.

I was just looking at these crazy alternate builds.

Bricklink has them on the picture here, and it's like this turns into like a sailboat here with the two sails going up and then like a battle arena.

I wasn't even thinking about health builds.

But like, yeah, our childhood, man.

I think that would just be a sweet one to see.

But it's funny, because when you look at Xbox, Xbox 360, they're like Brick Links.

They're not even LEGO.

They're just some other third party brick building thing.
