At the end of November 2019, the LEGO Group announced the acquisition of BrickLink, the largest online marketplace dedicated to buying and selling LEGO. Now, a year later, HispaBrick Magazine is conducting a survey; they want to know what the community is thinking about how that acquisition is working out. They are seeking as many responses as they can get from those who use BrickLink as a buyer, seller, or both. Their online survey questionnaire will be open through January 24, 2021, and they plan to report on the results in the next issue of HispaBrick Magazine, tentatively scheduled for sometime in March.
A year ago with the BrickLink acquisition, LEGO stated that they wanted to strengthen the LEGO Group’s engagement with its community of adult fans, that they plan to continue to support the active marketplace, and that they have worked closely with the community for many years and look forward to deepening their collaboration. They also stated that BrickLink provides the LEGO Group with a unique opportunity to connect with adult fans through new channels and exciting experiences. In BrickLink’s press-release at the time of acquisition they also stated that the LEGO Group and Bricklink shares their ambition to create the best possible platform/experience for adult fans.
The survey is quite detailed, so I’m going to repost the key questions here, so you can better prepare your feedback. Pleaser note that the answers are limited to 1,000 characters.
