Frequently Asked Questions:
-
The Brick Exchange is a community marketplace for LEGO fans to connect over sets and other LEGO items they’re looking for or ready to pass along. Members can create listings, browse what others have available, and send requests to connect directly with each other.
-
Members post LEGO items they have available. If you see something you’re interested in, you can send the owner a request with a short message. From there, the two of you can communicate and decide whether an exchange makes sense.
-
No. The Brick Exchange doesn’t own, stock, ship, or fulfill the items you see listed. Listings are created by members of the community, and exchanges are worked out directly between those members.
-
No. The idea is to give LEGO fans a simple way to connect over items they have and items they need. Members can describe what they’re looking for in their listing and work out the details directly with one another.
-
Open the listing you’re interested in and select Request This Item. You’ll be able to send the owner a short message along with your request. Once submitted, you can track the request from My Requests.
-
The person who created the listing will receive your request and can review it. If they’re interested, they can accept the request and the two of you can continue the conversation to work out the details. Each party has the ability to comment to each other on the request that was submitted by using the Comment button.
-
Yes. A listing may receive interest from multiple members. Sending a request lets the owner know you’re interested, but it doesn’t automatically reserve the item or guarantee an exchange.
-
You can only have one open request for the same listing at a time. This helps prevent duplicate requests and keeps conversations organized.
-
Requests you’ve made can be found under My Requests. Requests other members have sent for your listings can be found under Requests Received. Open requests and completed or cancelled requests are separated to make them easier to manage.
-
Yes. If you’re no longer interested, you can cancel an open request. The listing owner will be notified, and the request will move to your archived requests.
-
Once you and the other member have worked everything out, the listing and request can be closed so they no longer appear as active. Closed requests remain available in your archived requests for reference.
-
The members involved decide that directly. Depending on the listing and each member’s preferences, that might mean local pickup, shipping, or another arrangement that works for both people.
-
Not currently. The Brick Exchange helps LEGO fans discover items and connect with each other, but payment, shipping, pickup, and the final details of an exchange are handled directly between the members involved.
-
The Exchange is designed for LEGO sets and other LEGO-related items that may be useful to another member. When creating a listing, provide enough information and photos for other members to understand what you have available.
-
If something doesn’t look right or you run into a problem, use the Send Feedback option to let us know. Include a short description and, when helpful, a screenshot so we can take a closer look.
-
Not even close, and that’s intentional. The Brick Exchange is being built and improved with the community. You may see new features, refinements, and a few experiments along the way. Feedback is always welcome.
