BrickLink® closures: Official statement

BrickLink®, owned by The LEGO Group since 2019, have apologised for the manner of their recent shock announcement to close BrickLink Marketplaces in 35 countries. They have announced an extension to the closure date and removal of fees, but only provide a vague answer as to why this drastic change has occurred.

We did not post about this shocking change when it was revealed recently, but are united with the community in horror at the impact this will have to individual sellers and the global community of buyers and sellers.

Review: 11370 Stranger Things – The Creel House from LEGO® Icons

It has been a while since the last LEGO® Stranger Things minifigure-based set, but LEGO® Icons 11370 Stranger Things: The Creel House is due to release 1 January 2026 for LEGO® Insiders. If you purchase it at launch, you will also receive 40891 Stranger Things: WSQK Radio Station as a free gift with purchase (GwP) – our review of that will be coming shortly.

I haven’t actually watched Season 5 yet, so spoilers in this review are limited, but inevitably there are spoilers within the images of this set and also in some of my commentary based upon what I do know, so be warned – sensitive folks should back away from the review of this spooky house now.

Review: 11372 Autumn Cottage Garden from LEGO® Icons

As the days grow shorter and colder in the Northern Hemisphere, builders have the perfect excuse to stay indoors and indulge in their hobby. And what better subject matter for this time of year than the latest Gardens of the World set: 11372 Autumn Cottage Garden? 

This cosy new addition to the LEGO® Icons line is packed with autumnal atmosphere, along with a selection of new elements and fresh recolours for us to harvest...

Black Friday / Cyber Monday LEGO® GwP and deals

UPDATE: See the best sets on sale at a glance in the UK, Europe and USA

Black Friday began at midnight 28 November 2025 and the good news is that if you missed out on the two larger Gifts with Purchase (GwP) last week, they're back again! The smaller GwP has been replaced with a rather cool deck of LEGO playing cards, and there's a new LEGO Insiders reward in the shape of 5009626 Fish Tank. The price reductions that began last week continue, and there have also been lower prices on individual bricks at Pick a Brick for a couple of weeks now. 

Note also the LEGO Insiders offer of 1000 points in exchange for just 200! These appear to be limited in number as they are selling out in some countries already. The instructions on the LEGO site apparently give an incorrect URL for redemption – see the comments on this post from our helpful, faithful readers!
