I am pleased to announce the opening of my new website PromoBricks.com! As many of you know, I have had a list of my collection of the bricks up on Land Of Bricks - but with the re-design and re-focusing of LoB (more on this later) and my collection getting rather large, I wanted to have a site just for them so they can shine like they deserve to.

What is the point of PromoBricks.com you ask? Well, this is a complete(1) database of the Commemorative bricks complete with scans and the story behind each brick. When I first started collecting the promotional bricks there was no place to find out about them and what was out there to collect. This was a very frusterating thing to deal with - this was really one of the very few areas of Lego that was not well documented by the various Lego fan sites. PromoBricks.com fills that need and will serve as the place to go for information to new collectors and seasoned collectors alike.

With the very much expanded Commemorative Brick programs at Legoland California and even at Legoland Deutschland, in addition to the increasing Lego store openings many new people are being exposed to these wonderful and fun to collect bricks. I hope this site helps to draw more people into the ever growing group of promotional brick collectors, the more people that are involved with collecting these the more information can be shared within the community!

PromoBricks.com is still growing! Soon there will be a section for the 4 known non 1x2x2 bricks as well as the non-Fabrik system bricks. Keep checking back for more details on this.

(...) Hey Mark. The new website looks great! You have single-handedly created a buy/sell/trade market for promo bricks. I had wondered why the LoB promo brick section wasn't being updated as regularly. I'll look forward to updates on (...)
