Last Friday, BrickLink went into maintenance mode and users on the site weren’t able to access it. The reason they gave was they were investigating some “unusual activity.” Many people speculated that the site may have been hacked and some users were given ransom messages.
After a day or so of radio silence, BrickLink finally started giving some updates and today they confirmed that their investigations revealed that a small number of accounts have been accessed by “unauthorized individuals.” This pretty much confirms that the site was hacked mostly likely due to old coding that’s still in use.
There’s still legitimate fear that some store inventories may have been wiped out which could be damaging to one’s livelihood. Even the site being down for a few days surely have impacted sales for many already as well as for buyers.
As of right now, BrickLink is still down and will be offline for the foreseeable future. Hopefully, they’ll keep up with the regular updates.
… ContinueFriday November 3rd, we temporarily closed the BrickLink site due to unusual activity.
Since then, the team has been working super hard to make sure we can reopen as soon as possible – and we’re getting closer to doing that.
Our investigations so far suggest that a very small percentage of our accounts may potentially have been accessed by unauthorized individuals. We’ll be in contact with people directly soon with more details.
Thank you for your patience and support – the kind posts we see from all of you on social media make
As expected, the LEGO Chinese Traditional Festival 2024 sets that were revealed yesterday are now on the LEGO Shop with official details for them. The sets are to celebrate the upcoming Lunar New Year which will be the Year of the Dragon. Both sets will be available starting on January 1.
Usher in the Year of the Dragon with this majestic LEGO® Spring Festival Auspicious Dragon figure (80112). A meaningful, symbolic cultural gift toy for yourself or kids aged 10 and up, this LEGO brick-built mythical creature features a tilting head and an opening mouth. Specially printed elements for the eyes and scales enhance its authentic look. The buildable toy dragon holds a traditional blue crystal element and is sitting on a brick-built rock in the sea. Attach the nameplate to complete a dramatic display.
Capture the joy of a LEGO® Spring Festival Family Reunion Celebration (80113) with this restaurant playset for kids aged 8 and up. The buildable toy model of a traditional Chinese-style restaurant is designed for easy access and play with the authentically detailed kitchen, reception area, dining room (including a buildable karaoke machine) and bathroom. The LEGO restaurant’s rooftop dining area is perfect for a romantic dinner to celebrate the Year of the Dragon, with a table for two, buildable patio heater, flowerpot, hanging lanterns and fireworks. There is also a buildable flower store, dim sum toy cart and street food cart to inspire creative play.
Amazon currently has some pretty good deals going on for the LEGO Disney Lightyear sets. The sets are scheduled to be retired by the end of the year and you can get discounts up to 48% on them. The movie was somewhat average but we did get some good looking sets out of it.
