"We regret to announce the sudden and unexpected passing of Dan Jezek, owner and founder of BrickLink.com. Dan will be greatly missed by all of his family and many friends at Bricklink and around the world. A memorial fund is being set up and will be announced at a later date. If you wish to send condolences, you may do so via e-mail to condolences (at) bricklink.com."

Josh at Brothers Brick puts it best, I think:

"It is quite possible that there is no other person who has affected the Adult Lego Fan community as much as he did. The hobby would be much the same if any of the other fan sites had never existed ..., but the hobby would be a very different one if Bricklink had never been. We owe Dan an enormous debt of gratitude."

Halloween Mini-Month

2010 Edition

It's that time of year again, the time when you let out your dark side

and have a little spooky fun, and here at EB, we've redecorated the forum and

are planning a few events as well as looking to you to share some creative fun

in the form of MOCs, discussions and activities.

This is just the beginning of the fun. Wander our spooky halls and see what wonders

and horrors you may discover for yourself during Halloween Mini-Month on Eurobricks!

Our lovable Walrus Admin has a terrific new site function!

Having trouble finding a review? This will (hopefully) become a thing of the past with the new Eurobricks LEGO Set Index! While it's currently incomplete (included are all Sci-Fi, Licensed, Technic and Fabuland, but only some Town and Star Wars) in a month or two it should contain at the least all recent sets making it the place to go first. Depending on how this goes it could replace all set related indexes on Eurobricks. Aside from links to reviews it also contains basic set data and links to other major LEGO sites where you can find out more about the set or even buy it!

Read more about it and discuss it here!
