On Wednesday, Lego sold 30,000 copies of a Lego castle designed by a fan \u2014 the Mountain Fortress \u2014 earning him half a million dollars for his work. For a while, the company\u2019s website was flattened under the load, and my Verge<\/em> story about these fan-designed sets<\/a> was pretty popular, too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n So I suspect you might also be interested in a future<\/em> wave of limited-edition, fan-designed Lego sets \u2014 and the chance to vote on them yourself!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Today marks one week before voting wraps in the Lego BrickLink Designer Program Series 4<\/a>, where many incredible ideas are currently vying for the chance to become an actual product packaged, sold, and shipped by The Lego Group. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n And while Lego will have the final say, it wants to know which sets you prefer. Here are the ones that most caught my eye: <\/p>\n<\/div>\n As before, Lego will produce up to 30,000 of each set that makes the cut, with designers getting 5 percent of the sale price in royalties.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The winning Series 4 sets will be announced on March 18th. On June 1st, Lego will put these Series 2 sets<\/a> on presale, and the Series 3 sets<\/a> will go on presale in October.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
