BrickLink Issues Statement on Extended Downtime

November 11, 2026 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The big news today that everyone is talking about is the extended downtime that BrickLink has had the past week. Today they released a statement stating there was unusual activity on the site and that could mean hundreds of things. They are still investigating so they probably still haven’t gotten the issue resolved yet. The main speculation is that BrickLink may have been a victim of a cyberattack but there’s no confirmation of that. LEGO now owns BrickLink so it’s probably their IT people that are trying to get it back online.

Many users rely on BrickLink for income and the downtime this past week puts a damper on sales. Some have flocked over to BrickOwl or eBay to sell inventory in the meantime. There’s no work yet on when BrickLink will go back online.

We took BrickLink offline after identifying unusual activity on the platform. Our immediate priority was to secure the site, protect our members and ensure the integrity of BrickLink.

Before bringing the site back online, we need to fully understand what has happened. That means containing the issue, investigating how it happened and checking for related issues.

This work is still on-going and we appreciate your patience while we work to get things back online as soon as possible.

LEGO Batman Retro Video Game Batman (30762) GWP Sold Out in 30 Minutes

November 9, 2026 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Last night, LEGO released the LEGO Batman Retro Video Game Batman (30762) minifigure on the LEGO Shop for a very cheap price requirement and it sold out rather quickly. From what I saw, it sold out online around 30 minutes after the new set of LEGO promotions started at midnight EST. Fan were excited to get it without having to purchase the Switch 2 version of LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight but that excitement was only temporary. If you didn’t jump on it early, it was too late. This was also the case in Europe as well.

If it sold out this quickly online, I doubt that LEGO Brand Stores had much stock and I feel if you didn’t get there by now, they’re probably gone. It’s been a very long time since LEGO had a promotion on the LEGO Shop that sold out this quickly so I feel that they didn’t as many as fan thought they had. On the secondary market, it’s hovering around $50 so there’s not much movement there even with the quick sell out.

LEGO Super Mario Yoshi Set Teaser

LEGO has put out a new LEGO Super Mario teaser on the Nintendo Today app featuring a Yoshi set coming soon. The image shows a brick-built Yoshi starting at the screen with the caption “New LEGO Super Mario Set Hatching Soon.” This set will be the first standalone larger scale Yoshi display set which I assume will be coming in 2027.

LEGO Penguins in Love (40886) GWP Returns Plus Batman Minifigure Promo

November 8, 2026 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO has put out a new set of promotions on the LEGO Shop including a very unexpected one for Batman fans. Most of the promotions end on November 15 unless specified, while supplies last.

First is the return of the LEGO Penguins in Love (40886) when you make a $100 general purchase. This GWP was first available back in late January into February for Valentine’s Day and it only required an $80 purchase back then. Nothing too special here.

The unexpected GWP is the LEGO Batman Retro Video Game Batman (30762) minifigure and you can get it with $40 in DC products or Batman. It was originally available only with the Nintendo Switch 2 version of LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight which was a bummer since many already had the game. Honestly, there’s not much DC sets to choose from but it was nice to LEGO to do this promotion separate from the game.

Next up is the LEGO Disney Ariel & Flounder’s Birthday Music Fun (30720) and you can get it with a $40 purchase in Disney products.

Lastly is the Venetian Water Taxi (40898) and you can only get it with the Venetian Neighbourhood (11388). This is the only promotion that runs until November 20.

There is also 2x Insiders points for the LEGO Icons SpongeBob Bikini Bottom (11386). You will be able to earn 2,860 Insiders points on it instead of the usual 1,430.
