Lego’s BrickLink marketplace has been offline for a week following ‘unusual activity’
Lego's BrickLink marketplace has been offline for a week due to unidentified 'unusual activity.' The company is currently investigating the incident and has not provided a timeline for the site's restoration.
Why it matters
The outage highlights the ongoing cybersecurity risks faced by niche e-commerce platforms and the potential for significant disruption to fan communities.
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.
