The BrickLink Designer Program has announced the final details about the five winners of the Series 5 edition. BrickLink has shared details about each set’s size, price, and confirmed that fans will be able to preorder these custom-made builds starting on June 1, 2025.
Orders will be fulfilled on November 1, 2025. Each buyer is limited to two purchases per set to ensure fair distribution.
Adventure in Transylvania
Priced at $349.99 and numbering the eye-watering 4,056 pieces Adventure in Transylvania designed by creator SleeplessNight is a fantastic example of custom-made LEGO ingenuity and further showcases its limitless variety. Also, there are vampires – well, at least one, and his bride.
A center piece is a gothic house with twisting turrets, cathedral-like architecture influenced by Gothic design, and vegetation in beautiful auburn colors around the base, to further set this entire piece off, contrasting between the dark and rich colors.
SleeplessNight has similarly used dark purple, red and blue bricks and components to add accents across the entire building helping it stand out. The set also features around 15 minifigs mixing modern people with some more peculiar characters to speak naughty of the knight clad in armor and holding a halberd and a shield.
A beautiful ascending staircase is going to take you into the house, but you can of course just skip ahead and rotate the set to gain entry to the meticulously crafted interior, which will have a sarcophagus room where a vampire will wake up from his slumber and arise from between the marble stone slabs to give our characters a proper fright.
Of course, you can alternate the mood by simply picking a more cheerful minifig to stumble upon the sleeping/waking vampire. There is also the Vampire’s bride, who will look coyly out of dimly-lit windows and add to the eeriness and atmosphere of the whole build. The set seems to feature many additional sidedoors and ways into the house, to add to the theme and authenticity.
There is a piano room sitting right on top which you can also explore, lit by torches, or venture to the small library which has a lectern with an evil-looking book right there.
Moving up, there is also a room where the Knight sits idly next to the wall but seems to be able to wake up at his masters’ call – probably the Vampire and his bride. This is the largest set in Series 5 and it is amazing, and it reminds us of the recently qualified set for the LEGO Ideas competition, the Halloween House.
Antique Shop
Antique Shop will set you back $149.99 and it is designed by ThatOneGuySteve. The set features 1,981 pieces, and it’s a bit smaller, but equally superbly detailed.
The set represents a small house that doubles as an antique shop with a liftaway roof to let you take a look inside the building itself and surrounded by beautiful vegetation and small but important details such as ladder propped up against a side wall, a water fountain, a tree sitting on one side of the building, a backdoor, and so much more.
There is a truck and five minifigs here as the set offers outstanding value. You can keep revealing piece of it by removing the top floor to take a look at the antique store itself, which features a cash register where the owner sits, a vintage phone and a newspaper both available.
There are items such as knight shields and helmets, old cameras and a small chessboard in the middle of the room, along with plenty of kettles and pots sitting on a table that comes a nice touch of detail added by a sprawling red tablecloth, as well as candelabrum, a vinyl player, and frankly – so much more.
The truck itself is also very interesting as it has plenty of removable bits and parts, and you can keep customizing the story around the shop, the minifigs and the truck as well.
The upstairs floor is of course the owner’s living quarters, which reveal a neat room that features a bed, a bedside table, a lamp, a watch, a ceiling fan, and so many other little details that add to the whimsical character of the whole composition – we really loved the awning that protects the shop’s windows from the sun.
All in all, a really great set!
Mushroom Village
Next up in the BrickLink Designer Program is the enchanting Mushroom Village, and honestly, this one has so much going for it. Designed by JonasKramm, it builds on his earlier Mushroom House idea and takes things to a whole new level. This set is packed with detail and personality, and it does feel like you are stepping into a miniature fantasy world.
With 2,427 pieces and seven unique minifigures, the set invites you to the woodland village where mushrooms double as homes, workshops, and shops. There’s a wizard, an elf with a backpack, a garden gnome with his own cave, and even a girl pushing a carrot cart — with a very large carrot on top of it.
There are so many great details here, like the working mill you can crank from the back, a cozy tree stump home with a removable terrace, and even an orrery spinning above a mushroom ceiling. There’s a waterfall window, a bridge made of roots, and oversized leaves with droplets of dew.
This is a fantastic set that will offer so much value and it truly shows how far experienced LEGO designers can push the limits of LEGO creativity one way or another. Mushroom Village will be available for $209.99.
Popcorn Wagon
Popcorn Wagon by designer Mictur is a fantastic twist on the ice-cream stand. As the description of the project coyly asks – can you smell the popcorn? The answer – Yes, we can! But of course, the set is so much more, with the designer including other yummy treats for you popcorn lovers to enjoy.
Other than the idyllic build, which features a nice base with a street lamp and a small garden, as well as a pigeon, some shrubbery, and a butterfly, the set also focuses on the central piece – the popcorn wagon itself which will be manned by one very happy proprietor who, when not busy inside, will come out and use his broom to tidy up around the wagon.
While waiting for your order, take a look at the beautifully decorated wagon. Don’t miss the steam engine that powers up the machine – it was built over 100 years ago! The build is packed with play features so just take off the roof and the canopy to admire the details inside. Turn the golden knob on the front of the wagon to make the popcorn pop!
Open the sliding glass door to prepare the next order or remove the steam engine for some periodic maintenance. The set features just 594 components – the smallest of the five winners – and will be available to preorder for $59.99.
The Thieves of Tortuga
Last but hardly least we have another huge set – The Thieves of Tortuga designed by Krackenator. The set comes with 3,988 total parts and 2 stickers, along with 10 minifigs, animals such as a shark, a monkey, a parrot, a cat, seagulls, and a pig.
There are lots of small boats to really give the set a sort of bustling-with-life quality, and many smaller fun accessories that will add fantastic value to your play time.
Also included are six different buildings, such as the Tortuga Tavern to get a drink or a meal, Missy’s House who is constantly picking up fights with the pirates who have taken over Tortuga and she does not like one bit – and is always happy to have a shouting contest with any swashbuckler she can see out of her window.
Then, there is the Main Gate, which you must pass through to access the rest of the town, and the Loot House where all the stolen treasure is going to go. A Captain’s Residence reserved for Captain Ogel, will give the top pirate plenty of time to review his charts and rest up.
Not least, there is the Marooned Marina, where you can enjoy some freshly caught fish or pick fishing supplies. The set is going to cost you $339.99 if you do decide to get it in the end!
