FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers on cost, process, confidentiality and IP, shipping, and where the bricks come from, in one register.

Money

What does a commissioned build cost?

The range is published rather than saved for the call. The cost page sets out the whole corridor in one place: the named tiers and their per-set prices, each tier’s small-run fee, and the design fee and how it is credited.

One price covers the commission end to end: design, part sourcing, customisation, build instructions, packaging, and delivery coordination. There is no separate line for each of those and no checkout to complete. Where a given project lands inside the corridor comes down to three things: the model itself, how many sets are made, and which deliverables travel with them.

Process

How does a commission actually work?

Every project starts with a conversation about the brief: the occasion, the brand, and what the build needs to achieve. From there the studio moves through concept design, a physical prototype, production, packaging, and delivery. The client reviews and approves a physical prototype before production begins, so nothing is built at scale without sign-off on the real piece.

Confidentiality and IP

Can a project stay confidential?

Yes. Sealed, unpublished work is a normal part of the studio’s practice, and a non-disclosure agreement can be put in place on request. Nothing about a commission, its existence, its details, or images of the finished build, is published without the client’s written permission.

Who owns the design once it's built?

The client’s logos, brand marks, and trademarks remain the client’s property throughout. The studio’s build designs, the craft of translating a brief into a physical model, remain the studio’s own work. Specific ownership and usage terms for a given project are set out in the commission agreement.

Shipping

How is shipping handled?

Shipping is arranged individually for each commission and quoted as part of the overall project, not sold separately. The right method depends on the build and the destination, and is agreed with the client as part of planning the delivery.

The bricks and the LEGO Group

Are these real LEGO® bricks?

Yes. Every part in every build is a new, genuine LEGO® element. Nothing is assembled from used, reclaimed or repackaged parts, and no clone-brand or third-party copy is ever substituted, whatever the piece or the colour. That holds for the prototype you approve and for every set in the production run.

WLWYB is an independent studio and is not affiliated with the LEGO Group. The models are original designs built from LEGO® bricks, and the trademark notice in the footer states that relationship in the LEGO Group’s own wording.
