April 1, 2024 9:31 AM PDT
LOS ANGELES—On Monday morning, Ynon Kreiz, CEO of Mattel, Inc., publicly announced
his intention to purchase BrickLink, Inc. from the LEGO Group.
Mattel is the owner of MEGA Brands, the manufacturer and distributor of MEGA
BLOKS construction toys. BrickLink is an online platform where users can buy
and sell LEGO®-brand products.
The announcement comes in the wake of the BrickLink administration's decision
to remove many older products from the platform, a decision which upset a small
minority of its clients.
After a series of negotiations and research from a neutral third-party market
valuation firm, the two sides have agreed on a final price tag of 2.19 USD.
The deal is expected to close by the end of July 2042, after BrickLink provides
the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration with some much-needed
paperwork in order to complete the deal.
In the meantime, Mattel plans to begin removing all LEGO®-brand products from
the platform and replacing them with their MEGA-brand equivalent, if available.
Kreiz has assured the public that all of BrickLink's 28 employees will be
retained for the forseeable future, including longtime administrator Russell
Callender.

| I just wanted to write a post about how tasty Maille's original dijon mustard
is.
Unfortunately, being originally coded in 1747, the forum doesn't provide
an easy way to link to a specific brand or style of mustard except for ugly
links like:
https://maille.com/fr/e-boutique/moutardes/moutarde-de-dijon-originale-215g/
So, my suggestion is to add a mustard macro in the forum like the ones
we have for catalog items:
[MU=maille001]
It would include a picture of the product, a list of ingredients, nutrition facts,
local and online retailers, customer reviews, suggested recipes, etc.
The link should also be localized to the viewer's current location. For example,
members registered in the USA should be linked to Maille's U.S. website:
https://us.maille.com/collections/maille-originale/products/dijon-originale-mustard
A similar thing could be implemented for pizza or cheese, facilitating discussion
of these topics.
I realize that BrickLink's less than thirty employees are probably very busy
and have better things to do with their time, but this is an extremely important
feature and should be implemented immediately. BrickLink is frankly unusable
without it.
Merci beaucoup !

| Author: | wildchicken13 | | Posted: | Nov 9, 2023 09:31 | | Subject: | Sorry Once Again | | Viewed: | 290 times | | Topic: | Technical Issues | |
| Dear BrickLink members,
I would like to sincerely apologize for recent cyberattack against BrickLink.
On Wednesday, November 1st, while visiting family in New York City, I ordered
two slices of pineapple pizza from Gaudio's Pizzeria & Restaurant on 30th
Avenue in Queens. Unfortunately, little did I know that this pizzeria is owned
by the Italian mafia, who were insulted by my choice of topping. During the interrogation,
I confessed that I had been brainwashed by the Pizza Gang, and I gave them the
link to Nubs_Select's About Me page. However, they were not satisfied with
the list of active members, and they decided to take revenge against the entire
BrickLink community.
I understand that the scammers cost buyers thousands of euros and the downtime
cost sellers even more. I also understand that the damage to BrickLink's
reputation cost far more than the attack itself. Finally, I understand that the
emotional hardship created by being unable to check the forum every five minutes
is beyond words, perhaps even worse than mustard withdrawal.
I promise that I will never again order pineapple on pizza. As an apology, I
am offering free feedback to everyone who places an order in my store.
I know that the past week has been extremely stressful for those whose lives
revolve around little plastic building blocks. If you require emotional support,
please contact the help desk. They are always very responsive and supportive.

Thank you for your patience and understanding, and don't forget to celebrate
with pizza!  🍕🍕🍕

| Dear BrickLink members,
I would like to sincerely apologize for the performance issues that the site
has been experiencing this week. On Wednesday, during monthly maintenance, I
attempted to bake a 14-inch pizza Margherita using the excess heat produced by
BrickLink's servers. Unfortunately, while preheating the servers to 475 degrees
Fahrenheit (250 degrees Celsius), some of them overheated and were permanently
damaged. I have been busy helping the BrickLink team replace the damaged servers
and we are almost finished but you may continue to experience some lingering
issues as we get everything back online.
These issues are totally unrelated to the ongoing conflict between the Pizza
Gang and Le Mustard Club.
I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused for those of
you who use other parts of this site besides the forum.
If you have any questions, please contact the help desk: https://helpdesk.bricklink.com/Main/
They usually respond within 2-3 geological epochs, but may take longer to respond
during periods of unusually high geological activity.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

| Dear BrickLink members,
The BrickLink team informed me today that they will be discontinuing the discussion
forum. On June 1st, 2023, the forum will become read-only. Six months later,
on December 1st, all posts and their replies will be purged from the site.
Among other reasons for this decision, the team cited improperly formatted replies,
lower than expected participation in Le Mustard Club, the desecration of the
French language, and the cost of storing Nubs_Select's excessive posts.
We know that those of you who spend way too much time on the forum will be heartbroken
by this news. However, the BrickLink team assured me that they are looking into
reviving the chat feature as a replacement. In the meantime, please mail all
catalog requests to:
LEGO BrickLink, Inc.
16815 Von Karman Ave
Irvine, CA 92606 USA
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
P.S. In case you didn't get the joke… Happy April Fools' Day!
