the bricklink designer program is much closer to what everyone always wanted ideas to be. since the change too much from the original ideas moc i think the bdp is the way to go for lego hobbyist that want to stick to the lego group.

The bigger thing is that it gives the fans what they want instead of a buildable typewriter or a bunch of flowers. I’ve seen a Ratatouille set get rejected several times for significantly less interesting ideas.

Just wanted to say that you were one of the five reviewers selected to be part of this initial review program. An incredible recognition for this channel!

Really interesting how Lego is sending single copies to different creators. It's been pretty fun watching the different sets pop up all over KZread.

Most likely since these aren't technically sets yet so parts might be hand picked so much more difficult than just sending out boxed sets

I was wondering who was going to get this one for review. You always do quality content.

Thanks for this review! I especially appreciate your discussion of what sets the Bricklink Designer Program apart from LEGO Ideas, since many people don't understand the difference. I agree that the high prices and exclusivity of the sets in the BDP are not meant to encourage hoarding for resale, but instead to make it possible for fan designers to have their detailed MOCs realized as close to their original design as possible. 😊

Train shed looks crazy good

Thanks for the great review Balázs, I am so glad you got this set for early review, as you really value these options and create remarkable content. This is by far my favourite from BDP Series 1 and I will definitely buy one of these to integrate into my 12V train layout and the good old 7750 steam locomotive will be the first to puff into the engine shed for some repairs.

I think the pieces are larger than normal, and think the price is more than fair. Its also a huge building. Im so excited I was able to buy one today.

I bought this beautiful set tonight, now still waiting for delivery to start building 👍 very nice review

I like the Ideas version better. It was more of a complete scene, rather than just a building with a set of tracks next to it.

That brick built lathe is brilliant!

I love the the Bricklink Designer program! This way, Lego products are closer to the fan designer’s submission!!

It looks so good! I love to see it in its real size and not just in a computer program. It looks so much more alive and beautiful!❤❤❤

Just built this. Love it! Great build. Going to set it into my rail set up soon

I think that this set is a reference from set number 10027 Train engine shed. Think that the designer had this idea in mind. To be fair, i find bricklink or ideas sets, not really official lego sets but more like the mocs you can find online. (If they are official why not put them on there own official webstore since this feels more like a ''you're not good enough for us but we will make money of you'').

If this were cheaper it would be an instant purchase. I have a lot of Lego trains, but nowhere to store them. A couple of these shed builds would work a treat.

Just Preordered This Amazing Set‼️

I got one too, and just looked they are already sold out after just 2 days, that's crazy

Man, if only we had some nice official steam train models from Lego to put in it. I mean I guess you could use the Harry potter or orient express ones but they'd look a bit out of place in a dingy old shed. We need a tank engine or something.

It's a pretty cool set, and I like all the detail inside. From the outside....it's a bit small and the glossy roof doesn't look great either And I did like the additional stuff from the original Ideas version If I was looking for an engine shed with around €200, I'd rather go for the one from BlueBrixx. As for BDP, I quite like the concept, but I think they should get rid of the 30k limit to discourage scalpers.And I have a few issues with this wave. I don't mind this train shed, as it is unlike anything Lego has on offer. The Parisian Street looks like a lesser Modular set, and the Mountain Fortress feels a bit too close to the Lion Knights' Castle. The other two sets look fine, just not for me. And again a focus on expensive sets, with just one below €100....

@friedrichweitzer3071

I plan to get both for a comparison. Considering the price it's not THAT bad... yes looking at you Star Wars and Marvel series. I also got the hospital from Bluebrixx and the LEGO version. Honestly, the more I look at the LEGO hospital the more I hate it. I was moving my modular building row around, pushed it aside and it fell apart!

BDP is absolutely the way to go for fan designers now. Ideas started out as an amazing program, but it's way too saturated now. There's also too much confusion around it. LEGO fans get annoyed when LEGO changes the submitted design, but that's not what they were really voting on. It was always just the product pitch NOT the set. BDP is what people think Ideas is, and it DELIVERS! 🖤💙💜💙🖤

This is my fave of this batch. I'm gonna have to try to get this and an Orient Express. I don't have room for a working train but I could definitely squeeze this and a train into my city as a static display.

OMG!!😮 This Old Train🚂 Engine Shed is actually a full-size bricked up🧱Building!! Love the old school architecture, the contrasting brick colors, the roof, the small details(gantry crane!)and minifigs, side builds, but most of all the space inside!! It fits that HP Train easily, and has such a realistic feeling interior. Know there's some LEGO Train🚃 fans in the community who'll appreciate this basically custom MOC. A deal really at $230, especially if you have the space in a track layout for it and for sure this one's investment grade. Big Props to the designer!!😃 Even the walls on it look fun to build!👍

I've got one set of the train shed and I really need it for my railway project !

I Am Soooo Hyped For This Set‼️ 👍🏽🤩🤙🏽

Really cool model, hope it succeeds in crowdfunding run. I like the idea of BDP because it opens up opportunity to have our MOCs as sets without having a toy designer degree and working at Lego :)

well all 5 sets did and one is sold out alreay this one is close

Interesting that this set already contains the glossy 8x16 tile, introduced in 2024, which means it will replace the matt finish one for future UCS sets as well. Must be easier to print without the rough surface, or it needs less print layers for the same print quality. Sadly the ugly sprue mark is still on the front. Also, the 6x6 remained matt, so the roof will look weird with the mix of surface roughness.

@@toxic43 Or buy 2x6 tiles and just replace the 6x6 tiles. Although a roof doesn't need to be glossy.

If I get this set I would honestly turn it more into if it's been abandoned for years and put the ghost train express in it since that set's train already expresses abandoned and run down (what with the cracked glass stickers for the front of the train, the beat up/scratch mark stickers for the sides, and overall it's general appearance.)

SOOO keen for this! Thanks for the review! Psst Series 4 voting starts on Feb 5th and I've submitted Stephenson's Rocket again. 🚂💛💛💙 See you in the comments!

So excited for this one!

this one is my favorite, i just love the industrial builds

Hi Balasz. Thanks for the review. As a train lover I will get this of course. But I am surprised to see that Bricklink sets are getting expensive. LEGO of course is aware of the resell value and is trying to make some additional buck. The last round sold out within hours. Interesting to see this now with 30k copies. We will find out I. A weeks time 😊

I ordered one of each of the sets, except for the Parisian street. Looking forward to the builds.

Thank you Balazs for the great video, and congrats on getting this set for the early review. You are one of those people who will be truly able to appreciate a set like that.

I have been eyeing this one since they announced the finalist for series 1. So glad it can fit the regular lego train in it. Definitely one to buy.

Being able to buy 2 sets per buyer, this is practically a scalper's investment heaven made officially approved by Lego.

Whatever they do, people will complain. I personally don't think 2 sets encourage scalpers that much, maybe if it would be 5 or so. It's an opportunity for people to build one, and there'll be some left for the secondary market. A lot of countries are left out, that will be their only chance to get these sets.

​@PlazDreamweaver it seems lego never considers the secondary market (well, maybe except star wars line). That's why they limited this round to only 2 copies per person. That is not a normal free-market thing. Imagine you go to buy trousers and there's a limit for only two pairs.

Looks beautiful. I will probably build it from scratch once the instructions and inventory become available. I did the same with the Fishing Boat, Studgate Station and Modular Construction site. If you have the patience and a Bricks & Minifigs nearby, it is definitely worth it.

I plan to pick up the Snack Shack food truck in the Airstream trailer. Many fun details inside

I think the 30,000 order limit is unfortunate. It fosters investors gobbling up the inventory, resulting in over inflated prices for those who want to build and enjoy the set. The whole premise of LEGO prospecting sickens me. Neat set though.

Awesome review and set! Due to the price I will try to build it from Bricklink in a few years.

That is nice design better than lego design

Set looks cool! I think "Bricklink Designer Program" looks interesting! I like general idea behind it: minimal changes to original design. Right now, I don't see anything interesting there to buy but hopefully in the future... Thanks for sharing!

I think the program is much better than the current Lego ideas format. I must say I am now very tempted to buy this set, it’s a beautiful build! Great review

I'm glad you did a size comparison to the Orient Express locomotive as that's literally the comment I was going to leave 😅 It's definitely a beautiful build but I'm not sure if I'd go for that high price point right now. Not to mention I don't even know where I'd put it. 😆

I plan on buying in as an investment. I don't have room right now to build it, but It will look too good on my hopefully soon future lego city to pass up on it.

I have purchased and built two previous Bricklink sets and both building experiences were not enjoyable. While the builds look good in the end, I will not be pursuing any other Bricklink sets moving forward.

i dont want to spent all my money on lego anymore but i really like it

Now i know what to save my birthday money on

Train garage x1, General Store x2, Snack Shack x2… I love the Castle and Parisian sets but they are just too much $ and not enough minifigs

Yes was waiting for this!

I wish I had the money to buy 2 of each! 😂 I'm only gonna get 2 snack shack, as that's all I can spend...1 to build as I only found that one appealing, and 1 for investment. Nice review as always!

Thanks for the detailed review!

The build is awesome. I'm waiting for some cars to show up in this program, I'm not a fan of buildings.

Oh crap pre orders start February 7th? Damn it. I already spent all my money on trains!

Very cool 😎👍 he's a future see'er.

Very nice.👍👍👍

Thanks!

Wish I could get one of these early 😆 I think the Bricklink pre-order site just crashed These are sold out already in just 2 days

Nice video, as always 😊 Do you have checked the weight of the finished set? Thanks 🙏

How do the three rolling garage doors panels fit in a space which is only 3 studs wide? There must be two 1x1 gaps on the hinge side of the door.

any news on the review copies of the new speed champions/ technic f1 march sets?

$230 seems really steep to me. It's a great looking set, but that sounds like way too much.

A few years back a similar program was run through Bricklink. There was a 5000 unit cap and the cool sets were gone in half an hour. That miss-run program turned me off of lego for a for a few years. I started building and buying again a few months ago. I will be curious to see how badly this program plays out. I get the need for a minimum run but I do not understand why Lego puts a production run maximum on any of these. Presumably they make a profit on each set sold so why stop sales at an arbitrary number that kills the vibe for those who miss out?

Great set. Do you know if it will fit the crocodile locomotive?

Even the GWP is difficult to get rid of.
