Last week we detailed LEGO’s partnership with BrickLink to get fans involved in the set creation process. We already took at look at the first half of fan-made sets that would be going up for sale. But today the remaining eight creations from the LEGO AFOL Designer Program have been unveiled, alongside preorders for all 16 builds. Head below to lock in your orders and to check out the upcoming sets.
Now that all 16 of the fan-made kits in the LEGO AFOL Designer Program have been released, pre-orders have gone live. Similar to other crowdfunding campaigns, you’ll only be charged once a set meets the required goal before April 15th. BrickLink will be offering free domestic and international delivery and orders are expected to begin shipping in May.
The additional selection of creations round out the entire line of kits quite nicely. The saloon and Medieval castle are two of the standouts in my opinion, but really all of them are eye-catching in their own right. Below you’ll find the eight new sets announced today:
Wild West Saloon: $150
[9to5-press-release]
Give your horse a break from dodging tumbleweeds, and stop by the Wild West Saloon for a much needed drink. Just look for the cactus out front with a longhorn skull over the door! After settling in, order something from the Saloon’s beverage selection then hang out with other cowboys in the lantern light. If it suits you, walk up to the balcony to bathe in the setting sun while the pianist plays your favorite tunes. Now that you and your horse are well-rested, get back on the road and continue your adventure into the Wild West.

Löwenstein Castle: $200
[9to5-press-release]
Every castle is home to someone, and in this Löwenstein Castle lives a knight, his family, and his animals. The animals have their own housing that can be found right behind the outermost of the two main gatehouses – the outer bailey. The inner bailey has a roofed defensive corridor to offer protection from outside threats with an overhanging toilette bay, or “thunderbox.” Cross the drawbridge to get to the Great Hall and join the family for festivities after keeping watch over the castle. End the day with hiking up the centrepiece and highest point of the complex, the donjon or keep, to absorb panoramic views of the entire Löwenstein Castle.

Bikes!: $50
[9to5-press-release]
Make your way to a bike stand where both tourists and locals alike can ride a bike to explore the city and then set it aside just about anywhere after they are done exploring. A truck driver will pick up the bikes using GPS antennas that communicate the bikes’ location to the truck’s tracking system. Furthermore, it includes a carrier tricycle, which minifigures can use to transport groceries or, of course, their children. With LEGO cities being focused mainly on motorized vehicles, add another method of transportation with Bikes!

Eight Studs: $100
[9to5-press-release]
Experience modern living using a flexible space for your minifigs with Eight Studs. One housing unit can easily attach or stack with another unit, so you can either create a 2×8 space or a two-story unit for your minifigs. The minimal design allows you organize and decorate rooms for activities such as hanging out or playing with LEGO bricks. Feel free to move things around until you find that perfect balance. Eight Studs is about making connections with LEGO, and life is too.

Poseidonia: $36
[9to5-press-release]
Go exploring on the island of Poseidonia after anchoring your yacht next to the small boathouse with a light blue roof. Then trek through the mountainous island and follow the staircase to the top where centuries-old buildings can be found. The main attraction here is the ancient statue of a deity who still guards the island to this day. Finally, hop back on your yacht and discover the cave that goes right through the island of Poseidonia.
