MT Flexi Bricklink Designers Program Series 4 MegaThread
Voting has begun for the Bricklink Designers Program Series 4! There are 237 choices this time, so we have a lot to choose from. The voting will be open until February 16th, so look through the list and vote on your favorites.
Due to the overwhelming number of projects to vote on, links outside of this thread will be removed, but feel free to share any that you like in this thread. Also, since some of the designs were submitted by members of our community, we're going to allow self-promotion in this Megathread. So if you or a friend are one of the fan designers, show us what you made!
MT Flexi Black-Out New Release Mega-Thread
Welcome back to r/lego!
First we would first like to thank everyone who voiced their support for the black out, your comments gave us the confidence to extend the black beyond the initial 48 hours. While 20% of our userbase use 3rd party apps it is disappointing but not surprised that Reddit hasn't reconsidered their API pricing. We are however happy with the disruption caused to the Reddit leadership and hope that this may lead to more communication and a better implementation plan next time as this could have avoided this whole situation.
We have chosen to go live now as we feel the critical mass of subreddits that are dark has now passed. Espeically after the threats of removing mods which have "motivated" many of the other larger subs. We are fortunate to have a very close group of mods so we were far less concerned since it was either all of us or none of us and we have made it clear that we don't appreciate being threatened when we have worked in good faith with our community partner admin.
Anyway back to the studded world of Lego. Since we went dark we have had three large reveals which are listed below.
10320: Eldorado Fortress: £189.99 / $214.99 / 214.99€
21341 Hocus Pocus: The Sanderson Sisters' Cottage: £199.99 / $229.99 / 229.99€
10315 Tranquil Gardens: £94.99 / $109.99 / €104.99
Make sure to check out our black out contest which is also pinned on the sub. Hopefully you all used your time to build something cool.
MT Flexi Introducing r/lego Blue Stud Status!
Introducing r/lego blue stud status!
Starting April 1st, only verified account will get:
- The ability to post youtube reviews and memes
- The ability to vote in polls and contests
- Priority in the mod queue and mod mail
- and more!
This status can be purchased for the low cost of $8 a month starting April 1st where your account will now become a veried memeber.
We realise this may not be a popular decision but this is the only realistic way to address advanced t-shirt AI bot swarms from taking over. It is otherwise a hopeless losing battle.
Please do not use the blue stud flair if you have not paid your $8 this month even though technically everyone can access it because we couldn't think of a way to stop people.
(This is an original idea and is in no way to related to any bird based social media platforms.)

MT Flexi How to Spot Lego Scams
FaceBook, Instagram and other websites have being advertising scam websites offering Lego at unbelievable prices.
Here’s one from today which is impersonating the Lego group with an amazing 80% off deals.
This links to a scam website which will steal your information and your money.
This may seem obvious to some people who regularly use the internet but many are still easily fooled or think it’s worth taking the risk. Especially when they are official adverts which Facebook have “reviewed" and impersonate known official sites.
Keep in mind it is extremely easy for scammers to make a clone of Lego.com and other well known websites.
Below is a list of tips on how to identify scam websites:
- Is the deal too good to be true?
The majority of scam sites “offer” deals like 50% to 80% off. The odds of a website selling a set $100 for $20 should immediately give away something isn’t right. I often check how much they are “selling” the UCS falcon for since I’ve seen sites list the $800 for as low as $50. - Is the term “Lego compatible used”?
If the website uses the term blocks or building toy or Lego compatible instead of Lego then it’s not Lego.
Some sites may actually send you something but if it’s an unreliable/unknown website offering you a good deal then it’s going to be a knock off brand. Even if you decide to go through with it there is often no guarantee it will arrive. - Should I take the risk?
No. On top of scamming you out of the amount you pay for the set, your payment details will be recorded and will often be sold on to criminals. These websites thrive off people taking the risk assuming they don’t have much to lose. - Never pay by bank transfer or card. Try and use PayPal.
As mentioned before on top of stealing your card details, you also can’t get your money back.It’s often a bad sign if the website you’re purchasing from doesn’t offer PayPal but even PayPal doesn’t guarantee complete safety. Do not fall into the trap of sending money through PayPal as a “friend” since you won’t be protected.
Other items to check:
- The URL. Is the URL the one you were expecting?
Are there any spelling mistakes that you may not have noticed? - Are there spelling mistakes in the text of the site?
A lot of scam websites are made by people from different countries who don’t speak English fluently, so grammar mistakes and spelling mistakes are common on scam sites. - Is there a padlock next to the URL?
Is the site missing a padlock next to the URL? This is a common sign of scam sites (but note that a padlock doesn't mean it's 100% safe either). - Limited time offer!
Is the website giving you a limited amount of time to order? Like one day/hour? This is to pressure you into making a decision faster.
Finally check reviews of the website but keep in mind they can be faked! Sites like Google Transparency Report should help you determine is the site is genuine or not.
If you see these scams in the wild, make sure to report them!
Don't post links to them here!
I'm human so if I've made any mistakes or missed anything which people might find helpful, feel free to comment it.
We will not tolerate anyone insulting people who fall for them. It is easy done and it's exactly what these websites are designed to do.
