BrickLink is more than a marketplace - it is a lifeline for LEGO fans around the world. Today, LEGO’s sudden shutdown in 35 countries leaves thousands of builders and hundreds of sellers in shock. This video reflects on the legacy of Dan Jezek, the heart of BrickLink, and what this decision means for the global AFOL community. #bricklink #afol #afolcommunity

Quick Stats:
Countries Affected: 35
Stores Affected: 381
AFOLs Affected: Over 100,000 registered users
And remember — these AFOLs weren’t just buying within their own countries.
They relied heavily on stores in places like Germany, Hong Kong, the US, and across Europe.

Plus, there are countless unregistered buyers who shop on other marketplaces — marketplaces that themselves depend on BrickLink sellers for inventory.

So the real number of affected fans is far higher than what BrickLink’s charts show.
