On November 21, BrickLink – the largest community of online resellers of LEGO bricks, owned by the LEGO Group as of 2019 – quietly changed its policies on which countries would be allowed to operate stores on the platform as of December 12 (now updated to January 31) with 35 countries, including most of South America, Africa, the Middle East, and most of Asia. As the community learned of these changes, heartbreak and anger have rippled throughout the community, both for the poor way the changes have been communicated, but also for the reminder that, for as much as Bricklink and LEGO celebrate their global reach, in practice, much of the world lacks the services that other countries take for granted. Today we’re sharing the experience of one fan affected by the change, Pinar, a builder from Türkiye who runs the BukaBricks blog and maintains the LEGO Bestiary.
Immersive scenes in LEGO transport you to a universe where everything is made of plastic bricks but feels alive. Creations like these not only require building on a large scale but also need a keen eye for perspective and lighting to create a convincing world. One of the very best builders in the format is Joe (@jnj_bricks). As we celebrate the builder’s latest scene, let’s take a look back at the builder’s breathtaking builds of the past five years.

@cathedralofbricks has enriched the castle community this year with incredible builds that blend gothic detail and fairy tale romanticism on an epic scale. For his latest, Luke builds from imagination and tells the tale of a newly coronated king who has commissioned an “eternal spring” – a fountain that to the people’s eyes might as well be magic in how it harnesses the power of nature.
