Lego Acquires Bricklink
I own a bit of Lego. A little obsessive by some peoples standards.
Re: Lego Acquires Bricklink
This will be interesting. I don’t have a strong opinion about this but am optimistic about what is to come.

Just went to sign in and was /forced/ to read a long new TOS. I skimmed it and found this interesting.

This has a big and sudden effect on the folks selling Brick Arms, Custom Chrome, etc. I have never ordered any of it, but it's out there.

Re: Lego Acquires Bricklink
I believe that this was to be expected with the acquisition. I just hope that Lego expands their scope of products to include lighting and other popular items.
Re: Lego Acquires Bricklink
When they announced the acquisition, the announced that it would be only LEGO and no more Brick Arms. The custom stuff is new to this update.Platypus wrote:This has a big and sudden effect on the folks selling Brick Arms, Custom Chrome, etc. I have never ordered any of it, but it's out there.
