What do you think about the finalists?

@borisgetman9222 2 ай бұрын

I was pretty upset that the hug island, sushi restaurant or adobe house didn’t make it.

@memyselftheone 2 ай бұрын

Pretty disappointed, honestly. Only the boat seems interesting; the rest is just more of the same imo. But then again, I don't care about trains or the medieval theme. The riverside scholars set's look appeals to me, but the fact that it's an open back made me lose interest in it. I also just think that this wave could definitely have used a small set (for instance instead of one of the two (!) medieval themed sets).

I wish they wouldn’t go back to the same creators for each series. I also wish that they were more transparent with the selection process. Too many excellent designs have not been selected and what has been is mostly repetitive

I'm a fan of Nicolas Carlier, since he designed (with his brother) the Ratatouille house. I backed the Parisian Street and will back the boat as well.

I dislike everything except the boat and maybe the train.

@manlius10agames 2 ай бұрын

As a new designer who is hoping to enter into BDP Series 5, it is really discouraging to see repeat winners, and it's already intimidating to enter a set into the challenge when there are so many great designs. Bricklink tries to get an average piece count of 2,500 pieces between the 5 finalist sets which is why you see the piece counts that you do. I think they should be a little more flexible in that regard.

Parisian Street guy, the only one to not sell out, appearing again gives it that it’s-not-what-you-know-it’s-who-you-know vibe.

I was honestly very surprised that Parisian street didn’t sell out. In my opinion it should make an incredible display model.

ANOTHER AMAZING VIDEO

@borisgetman9222 2 ай бұрын

Thank you so much for the video! I have been waiting for it the entire weekend 😊 Love all designs except for “siege encampment”. The set seems to me like a bunch of great looking but random structures. I will still get it, but only 1 copy.

@BrickedtoPerfection 2 ай бұрын

So glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you for checking it out 🙂 I feel like "Siege Encampment" would definitely need to be paired up with other medieval sets. As a standalone, it might feel a bit barren...

@MechanicalTurkable 27 күн бұрын

I really like this video! I feel this is a great pace and amount of detail, and the look as a whole is, as always, really polished.

I was very disappointed with the bricklink team's choices for this series because out of the 5 finalists, 4 of them have already won a previous series and I was hoping for more variety but all we got was the usual Castle, trains and seaside stuff. There is two Castle sets this time and there is not enough small sets, I think they should bring down the max limit of pieces to 3000 or less.

@BrickedtoPerfection 2 ай бұрын

Tons of great points! I can totally see where you’re coming from. Hopefully Series 5 will break the pattern a bit…

The boat is pretty, but I like it when it's recognisable that it would also work in reality. And I don't see that here. It would certainly tip over quickly. What's more, the man steering it can barely see out.

I am most impressed with the work of Nicolas Cartier ... the Merchant Boat will be my 4th set I have purchased that was designed by him. Including "The City Library" and "Caravan Theatre" from the Bricklink's MOC store; and The Parisian Street from Series 1. I do wish Bricklink will bring back the MOC store so we can purchase/build the "rejected" sets from these very talented designers. And, BTW, another excellent video - excellent production values and content!

@octav1600 2 ай бұрын

I really love the seaside castle (will get one). I am mixed on the siege camp. If the price is right, I will want at least 2 of them. if not ... I might just get one for the collector's value and make some palisades from my spare pieces - this is a set that should have been sold as multiple smaller sets to mix and match what you want to get as many times as you need it.

@alexkull24 2 ай бұрын

Although I love castles and everything that has to do with the Medieval theme... The Merchant Boat is perfect! For me, of these 5 he would win easily! XD

@sevendeadlystreamersLEGO 2 ай бұрын

The seaside market feels like it could pass for a pirates theme with just a couple changes. I like to see some variety but it makes sense that BDP would select more than one medieval set since the Castle in series 1 sold out so fast!

@BrickedtoPerfection 2 ай бұрын

It’s crazy how fast it sold out! It’ll be interesting to see if they can keep the sales momentum by the time this series goes on sale.

@@BrickedtoPerfection good to know I was wrong. To put what I thought in simplest terms possible, Ironically Your video seemed very well done as if a team of pros was behind it and since u focused on showcasing products of one brand and the entire video seemed created simply to showcase those products, what I said felt appropriate. Best luck to you on Yt waters.

Ps imho what makes a set good isnt narration ir random parrots, it s the design itself. I do not wanna a story already written on it, just give me the thing and ima write my own stories. Somehow those random details kinda ruin it for me sometimes. Nah. Too much.

@LilW1nky 2 ай бұрын

Yeah I think more variety could be better. Too many medieval and train sets.

@ravenspurplebeats5412 2 ай бұрын

only issue with medieval & lego is there all big or medium sets which hurts the theme also (as i do like medieval theme). maybe if lego also did smaller more cheaper sets for medieval theme would get more love overall possibly as big fanbase for theme is mostly adults i think not children.
