So, what does this acquisition mean to you? It’s too soon to tell what
exactly will happen at this point, but the direction is clear. The LEGO Group
shares our ambition to create the best possible platform / experience for
adult fans.
We understand that you might have more questions about the details of future

More than anything, this sounds like Lego’s finally getting a piece of the
secondary market. It must have been eating at them for decades.
I’ve averaged about 0.56 transactions annually in the 18 years I’ve been on
Bricklink, so in practical terms this acquisition means nothing at all to me.
Philosophically, though, it’s simply another example of Lego seeking to expand
its hold over the brick toy universe.
YMMV, but that’s my $0.02.
