R.I.P. Daniel Jezek, Bricklink founder/owner

April 23, 2026October 27, 2010 by Bill Ward

The LEGO community has lost one of its most valuable members. Daniel Jezek created and ran BrickLink, the online marketplace for secondhand LEGO parts and sets, which is a cornerstone of the LEGO hobbyist community. He will be sorely missed.

Goodbye, nnenn

April 23, 2026April 14, 2010 by Bill Ward

I was stunned to learn today of the passing of Nate “nnenn” Nielsen in an automobile accident. Keith of the Brothers Brick has posted an excellent eulogy which I encourage you to read along with the many comments from members of the online community included in the post.
