Lego’s BrickLink remains offline as investigation into unusual activity continues
Lego-owned marketplace BrickLink has been offline for almost a week after the company detected “unusual activity”, disrupting a service used by fans to buy and sell Lego pieces and minifigures. BrickLink says it took the site down to secure it and protect members, but has not confirmed whether the incident involved a cyberattack or explained its cause.
The site initially said it would return on 9 November, but that date passed; its maintenance page was updated on 11 November to say investigations were continuing. Some adult Lego fans have criticised the company for providing little information. Founded in 2000, BrickLink was acquired by Lego in 2019 and had more than 10,000 seller storefronts at the time.
In short
- BrickLink has been offline for almost a week.
- Lego cites unusual activity but has not confirmed the cause.
- Fans are calling for clearer updates.
