Bricklink, a popular online marketplace that Lego bought in 2019 where fans can buy and sell parts and sets, has been down for a week and the company doesn’t know when it will return. The team who runs the site has been sharing updates over the past week including estimates of when it will be back up. It was last expected to return on November 11th, according to Jay’s Brick Blog, but a statement Lego shared to the site yesterday says there’s currently no estimate of when BrickLink will be back online.
Lego hasn’t explained exactly what happened with the marketplace, but says it “took BrickLink offline after identifying unusual activity on the platform. Our immediate priority was to secure the site, protect our members and ensure the integrity of BrickLink.” There are also no specifics on when BrickLink will return, as Lego works to contain what happened. “Before bringing the site back online, we need to fully understand what has happened.
