Forest Park resident builds business with LEGO
From Communitypress.Cincinnati website on Sept. 24, 2010.
William Lynch enjoys building with LEGO, and has turned that love into a
profitable business.
Lynch, a Forest Park resident, started Cincinnati Bricks about five years ago
and says the business is “wildly successful.”
Cincinnati Bricks acts as a “chop shop” for LEGO sets. Lynch buys sets and
breaks them down to sell the individual pieces to collectors and builders.
The business began in Lynch’s Forest Park home, but he’s recently moved much of
his product to a warehouse in the city.
Lynch said he buys the LEGO sets “wherever I can get a deal” and sells them
through his website, Amazon, exhibitions or displays.
Cincinnati Bricks has been a featured BrickLink (an unofficial online LEGO
marketplace) numerous times as one of the top 50 LEGO sellers by volume. There
are about 4,000 such stores in the world.
Lynch said he was selling real estate and selling LEGO as a side business, but
said the risk was too high selling properties, so he’s put that business on the
back burner to focus on LEGO, which have been bringing steady income for several
years.
“I’m basically doubling my business every year,” he said.
Lynch said he hopes to one day make Cincinnati Bricks his full-time job, and he
may be just a couple of years from making that a reality.

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is once again time for all fans of the brick in the vicinity of Ohio to
gather and play! In honor of that "other" event that will also be happening
this weekend, I have cristened the event "Lego-Bowl 2001".
Event Info:
Date: January 27, 2001
Time: 1:00pm until we are done
Location: Troy's House
What are we going to do you ask? I really don't know! At past gatherings
we have built cool stuff, shown off our MOC,s and played BrikWars. What we
will do this time depends on who shows up and what we decide to do.
Past events:
BrickWars at Adrians'
http://www.brickfrenzy.com/brikwars.html
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=881
Monorail Madness at Adrians'
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=2307
We've got the entire basement at my house for this event, plus all of these
Legos that i've been accumulating over the last 2 years to build with, so it
should be fun! Pop and snacks will be provided by myself, and we usually
order pizza when everyone gets hungry (everyone chips in for the pizza).
If you would like to attend, please e-mail me and I will give you directions
to my house. If you have any questions, reply to this message (FUT:
lugnet.loc.us.oh.cle).
Troy
PS: Dress warm, it's cold in the dungeon of Lego and Mt. Dew!
