There is also a shiny sparkling sticker in the lower left-hand corner announcing the exclusive LEGO element included. Each set is personalized with a handwritten serial number in the lower right-hand corner. Look further, and you will find a couple details distinguishing it from ordinary sets.

The overall presentation is clean, consisting of a white background with an illustration of the model on the box. Dive right in to look at the details of the unboxing experience.Īt first glance, the box may look ordinary, but there is more to it than meets the eye. If you care about a set in its entirety, you may want to seriously consider the sets being offered.

The TL DR (Too Long, Didn’t Read) answer is: Once again, the BrickLink team has gone above and beyond for the overall experience, with the final packaging matching the quality of the build. Having said that, I’m glad they followed up with us. The final box design was a huge factor for LEGO fans out there, with over 60% of polled participants waiting to see the packaging before making a commitment to buy a set.įirst and foremost, I was not expecting the BrickLink team to send us the final packaging since we already completed a pre-release review. The results were quite interesting, yet not entirely surprising either. I conducted a survey for LEGO fans regarding their decision to purchase a set or not by posting a poll in a local AFOL (Adult Fan of LEGO) Facebook group. When the BrickLink ADP winners were first revealed in early January, the sets’ final builds were showcased without their final packaging.

With box-in-hand, we wanted to provide our readers with a quick revisit of the set, this time only focusing on the unboxing experience and instruction manual. Bricklink has now generously sent us the actual packaging backers can expect to receive. Since we received an early review copy, it arrived without the actual packaging and manuals. Over the last few months, we reviewed the Wild West Saloon and the popular Löwenstein Castle custom LEGO sets from Bricklink’s AFOL Designer Program (ADP).
