Lego's BrickLink online marketplace, which fans use to buy and sell parts and sets, has been offline for a week after Lego took it down over unusual activity, and Lego has given no date for its return. The Verge reported on November 12, 2026. Lego said there is currently no estimate for when the site will come back, after an earlier expected return date of November 11, reported by Jay's Brick Blog, passed. Lego has not explained what happened, saying only that it took the site offline after identifying unusual activity and that its immediate priority was to secure the site and protect members. Lego said it needs to contain the issue, investigate how it happened and check for related issues before restoring the site. The Verge also noted that BrickLink was offline for several days three years earlier, around the same time of year, after a cybersecurity incident in which Lego shut the site after receiving a threat and ransom demand. When that site returned, users were asked to change their passwords, and were assured their accounts had not been compromised.
