LEGO Brick Take Back Trade-In Program Introduced

September 28, 2024 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

An interesting email came in today from LEGO where they are introducing a new buyback program called LEGO Brick Take Back. LEGO is basically buying back your preowned LEGO bricks and you can trade it in for LEGO e-Gift Cards.

It seems that LEGO is buy bulk back and they are offering $6 per pound (USD) for conforming bricks which include LEGO bricks and elements that are fully disassembled and in good condition, LEGO Minifigures and Mini-dolls (no need to disassemble), and LEGO Baseplates. Your parts are then checked to meet eligibility criteria and their goal is to keep as many bricks in play as possible. It looks like this is a test run to see the best way to accomplish their agenda.

LEGO Fan Media Days is currently going on right now in Billund and one piece of news that has come out of it is that LEGO Ideas will be bumping up the parts count for fans to create larger projects. According to Brickset, the maximum parts count will be upped to 5,000 pieces which allows fans to make larger and more detailed projects but will also potentially make them more expensive. There’s no word yet on when it will be implemented. The current parts count, while still a lot, is at 3,000 although LEGO has made exceptions on a few sets that have went over that limit. What are your thoughts on this big change to LEGO Ideas?

Amazon is ramping up their LEGO sales as they have now discounted the LEGO Icons Atari 2600 (10306) by 33%. This drops the price of the set down to $159.99 which saves you $80 on it. I believe this is the lowest the set has been at and is even cheaper than the sale on the LEGO Shop. The set is reportedly set to retire at the end of the year.
