Sold to a South Korean Game Developer???

Well, the new owner certainly has the resources to revitalize Bricklink...

Thanks for the pointer to Forbes, Bruce. I’ve added that as the link on Jung-ju’s name in the post body. What’s rather (very) notable is that Jung-ju is a billionaire AFOL, and this appears to be a personal acquisition, not something he’s adding to the Nexon portfolio. My suspicion is that he does indeed genuinely care about BrickLink — otherwise, why buy something as “piddly” as BrickLink compared to his other properties? — and that we can expect genuine investment to improve the experience rather than an opportunity to siphon off funds. Good stuff, I think!
