Where to buy LEGO online? Although you should certainly be able to find plenty of LEGO deals locally, you might also want to check out LEGO available online. I believe that you will appreciate this opportunity more and more as you venture deeper into the world of LEGO. But for now let’s just say that the benefit of online shopping is that you will have a much greater selection than at any local store. The drawback is that you will have to wait some days until your LEGO arrives, and in most cases you will also have to pay for shipping. However if you really-really want a set that is not available locally, you probably wouldn’t mind to pay a bit extra. Also, around major holidays, many of the online shops offer free shipping and excellent LEGO deals! : this is LEGO’s own website! You can find pretty much everything they currently have in production as well as web-exclusives. You can also find out about new releases, new store openings, sales, etc. Around holidays they usually offer free shipping. I
also highly recommend requesting their paper catalog. You will receive it about 5 times a year. It is a great way to see all the new themes, sets, etc. You can call LEGO at 1-800-453-4652 to request the latest copy. : Amazon is one of the largest online retailers. Although they started out with books years ago, now they sell pretty much everything under the sun – including a great selection of LEGO items. And, they offer FREE SHIPPING on orders over $25! You can’t really beat that! If you are looking for LEGO sets that your local stores ran out of don’t forget that most of them have an online shopping option as well. Toys’R’Us, Target and Wal-Mart all have robust websites with great LEGO deals. In fact they often carry web-exclusives. Just like in the real world, you also have options to buy used LEGO online. This is a great way to find discontinued sets and parts. : eBay is like a giant, international garage-sale. It is a place for individuals to sell items they no longer want or need. I
t is also a great place for shoppers to find both common and extremely rare items at bargain prices. There are some caveats shopping there, but I will say that it is a great place to find LEGO items!

BrickPicker is a site for the ultra-serious LEGO collector. The ones who look upon their collection as an investment. And make no mistake about it. Some sets are worth mega-bucks if in good condition. On the main page is a scrolling bar showing if prices have increased or decreased (a bit like the Stock Exchange, except without all the crazy dudes in weird jackets waving their hands around). There is also a price guide, classified ads (where people are constantly buying and selling), a list of top selling sets, and theme related forums. The Brick Factory is devoted to scans of every possible LEGO set, catalogue, poster, and sticker. They are categorised by theme, number, name, or year, making this a momentous undertaking. Especially when you take into account that the catalogues — from all over the world — are scanned page-by-page, and go all the way back to 1955. The Brick Factory offers a fascinating journey through the history of LEGO, and browsing it from the beginning, you can clearly see LEGO‘s evolution over the years.
It has happened to every owner of LEGO at one time or another. You have various bits and pieces from various kits, and you have no idea what you can make from them. I mean, there are just so many intergalactic spaceships you can make before you get bored, and you want something new to try. Enter Rebrickable to help you with your dilemma. You will be given suggestions on what to build, along with the building instructions. The site claims that their instructions are sometimes better than the official LEGO ones. You can also find instructions for bricks similar in colour to the ones you have. The Brick Blogger is, in my opinion, one of the best LEGO blogs available. As well as the latest LEGO news, it also gives you the latest sales and deals, beginner and advanced guides, information on official LEGO sets, and an area called “Forbidden Guides” (also known as the “shady Underground Lab” – “where cutting, painting, gluing, drilling, sawing and other unmentionable procedures are done to LEGO“).
Brick Wars Sets describes itself as the “ultimate Star Wars Lego guide“. Star Wars has been responsible for a large amount of LEGO’s resurgence in popularity, and when you go to the toy department in shops, you can be sure that you will see a large amount of Star Wars-related LEGO merchandise. So it’s good to have a site like Brick Wars Sets that specialise in it. The site shows every official Star Wars-related piece of merchandise, along with details such as the number of pieces in each set, and year of release. Valuations are also provided for some of the sets. Brothers Brick is another premium blog for all matters LEGO, one that is right up there with the Brick Blogger. Brothers Brick calls themselves “a blog for adult fans of LEGO”, and it’s been on the go now for the past 10 years. They focus a lot on mini-figures, but they also have the usual news, reviews, and opinions. Toys N Bricks is not only a blog, but also a community with a forum. The forum has over 9,000 members, and 10,000 topics.
