The first five projects to hit 3,000 pre-orders will be produced by BrickLink as a Limited Edition set. Due to issues with the first round, now 10,000 sets will be created. You can see which sets make up Round 3 below, along with their prices, which are rather costly!

Designer Program sets will feature digital building instructions provided by the LEGO Building Instructions mobile app. Digital instructions help us fulfill our Planet Promise by using less paper and saving on shipping weight, which in turn reduces emissions while delivering your set to you. The app lets you zoom, rotate, and view your model in 3D and ghost view mode to see how far you’ve come and what part you’re in the process of building. The LEGO Building Instructions app is great at keeping track of complex builds and makes it easy to save your building steps online so you can recycle instruction books.
