421 incredible LEGO designs. Only FIVE will make the cut. But which ones deserve to become official BrickLink Designer Program sets?

In this week's Wild Card Wednesday episode of BrickCast, I'm taking a deep dive into the upcoming 2028 Wave 1 BrickLink Designer Program, and after reviewing all 421 submissions, I've narrowed the field down to my personal TOP FIVE finalists!

And believe me, this was NOT an easy decision!

From medieval castles and pirate ships to incredible architecture, unique vehicles, and some truly imaginative creations, this wave features an amazing variety of designs from talented LEGO builders around the world. But with only five designs ultimately being selected, some fantastic creations are inevitably going to be left behind.

I started with 421 submissions, narrowed those down to 72 designs I absolutely loved, and then began the difficult process of separating the good from the great. I divided my favorites into three categories based on piece count, evaluated what made each design special, and ultimately selected the five creations I believe deserve a place in the BrickLink Designer Program.

Along the way, I'll share some incredible designs that caught my attention, discuss what makes a submission stand out, and reveal a few surprises that made narrowing down my choices especially difficult. Some of my final selections might surprise you!

With crowd voting wrapping up on October 14th and the official five finalists scheduled to be announced on November 12th, there's no better time to take a closer look at what could become some of the most exciting LEGO sets of 2028.

But here's the big question: Will any of my five picks actually make the cut?

Watch the episode to discover my selections, and then head to the comments to tell me which five designs YOU would choose. Did I overlook a masterpiece? Did I include something that doesn't deserve to make it? I want to hear your thoughts!
