Bricklink Designer Program 2028 Wave 1 MegaThread
Welcome to the MegaThread for the BDP Series 2028 Wave 1 Crowd Support phase. Let's get straight to the important questions:
What?
- It's time for the Bricklink Designer Program 2028 Wave 1 Crowd Support phase! This is your chance to vote for the projects that were submitted earlier in September. Your votes will help Bricklink decide which sets will eventually become official BDP sets.
Who?
- Bricklink Designer Program entries are designed by fellow Lego fans. You may recognize some of them as successful creators on Rebrickable, from past BDP programs, or from the creations they've shared here in r/lego. The creators whose designs reach the review stage will work with Bricklink's Model Governance and Building Instructions teams to ensure the designs meet Lego's standards.
When?
- The Crowd Support phase starts on Sep 30th. Voting will continue until Oct 14th. Next, those sets will all head into the review stage, and 5 sets will be announced on Nov 12th. Then a year later, in Oct 2027, those 5 sets will go up for crowd funding.
Where?
- Bricklink! Bricklink is the world's largest site for reselling Lego products. It started as an independent fan site, but is now owned by the Lego company.

How?
- In the comments below, fan creators can link to their projects and hopefully tell us a little more about the project. You can visit the BDP 2028 Wave 1 page and vote for the projects you'd like to become a set. You don't have to commit any money at this stage. That comes during Crowd Funding next year. It's free to vote!
What happened to BDP Series 10, 11, 12? Why 2028??
- The Bricklink Designer Program has changed the name from Series numbers to Wave numbers in the year the sets are expected to release. You can read more about the program on their website.
Closing Notes
- Still have questions? Ask them in the comments below!
- Hey BDP creators, please keep your promotion for 2028 Wave 1 in this Megathread. In previous rounds we've had over 500 projects to vote for, so the promotional posts started drowning out everything else. Thanks for your cooperation. And good luck!

Thoughts as regular Bdp voter.
Number of submissions is down but still a ton of quality and very small low number of low effort designs. Noticable uptick in boats. A number of repeat submissions missing from this series erm wave including all the modular style hospitals. Increase in number of Western sets. I had 123 love it which is on the lower side compared to prior rounds, but a higher number of no question buys if they make it through (usually 2-5, easily 7 this wave).
Good luck to all the submitters!
