- There is no new estimate for its return.

## Summary

Lego’s BrickLink marketplace has been offline for a week after the company detected unusual activity. Lego says it took the site down to secure it, protect members and check the platform’s integrity, but has not explained what happened or said when service will resume.

BrickLink, which Lego bought in 2019, lets fans buy and sell Lego parts and sets. A return had been expected on 11 November, but Lego has withdrawn that estimate while it investigates and checks for related issues. The marketplace also went offline for several days three years ago after a cybersecurity threat and ransom demand; Lego said then that accounts had not been compromised.
