If you consider yourself a Lego fan, you’re going to want to read this story and visit this website before Tuesday, May 17th, at 10AM PT / 1PM ET. That’s because Lego is about to put its third and possibly final batch of officially unofficial sets on sale, and that’s the time you can vote with your dollars for the five fan-made creations that will become a reality.

These Lego sets were designed by fans, not the Danish brickmaker itself, and Lego originally rejected each and every one. But, now, Lego’s Bricklink Designer Program will give a gorgeous 1950s diner, a working waterfall, a huge train station, a steampunk science lab, and more a second chance at official Lego stardom.

The sets are pieced together and shipped by Lego itself, with 10 percent of the proceeds going back to the creators for their work, and each of the five winners will be limited to 10,000 units. With most of them over the $200 mark, they’re pricey and Lego only ships them to 31 countries, but it’s possible the favorites will go fast!
