Another BrickLink Designer Program review has been tarred and swabbed!
The finalists for the Series 7 submissions have have been announced.
From the official Series 7 webpage:

These designs are chosen for Crowdfunding on February 1st, 2026 at 8 AM.
So without further dawdlin’, let’s unveil the finalists…
The Finalist Designs
In no particular order…
“W.A.L.T. the Little Robot” by Leewan
“Sushi restaurant (寿司屋)” by Brickproject
“Alchemist’s Shop” by Shram
“Antique Collection” by Terauma
Drum roll…
And now the moment we’ve all been waiting for…
“Privateer Frigate Fortuna” by Brick Perfection
Halle-boody-lujah! After submitting the design to multiple series, Brick Perfection’s “Privateer Frigate Fortuna” has finally passed review!
Now that The LEGO Group has decommissioned blue coat Soldiers, it’s promising to learn there is still potential for imperial designs.
The Crowfunding phase (I.e. pre-orders) for the Fortuna will take place during February 2026.
A Word from Maddabricks
Some fans be immensely excited by the news, this is what Maddabricks had to say via Instagram:

Thieves of Tortuga
Those pirates better look lively now a privateer has been commissioned to clean up the riff raff !
The Thieves of Tortuga from Series 5 enters Crowdfunding during June 2025 so set aside yer plundered hard earned gold – the thieves be needing somewhere to hide!
“The Thieves of Tortuga” by Krackenator
If Thieves of Tortuga ain’t what yer had in mind, now yer got a ship to look forward to!
But if we be hopin’ to see even more piratey builds sail through review, we must be sure to fill BrickLink’s coffers…
That is; when BrickLink Crowdfunds a pirate-themed design, we damn well make sure 30,000 units are snapped up quicker than rum at a pirate tavern!
Pre-order The Pirates of Tortuga so you can pressgang Captain Ogel into yer LEGO Pirates collection.
