TIL LEGO buys back bricks with giftcards
Got a LEGO® stash gathering dust? For a limited time, our LEGO Brick Take Back program turns your spare bricks into rewards. Trade in your pre-loved bricks and score a LEGO e-Gift Card in the process!
What do they do with the bricks they take back? The website doesn’t seem to say. Not taking duplo or built sets makes it sound like they aren’t being recycled into something new. Are they being cleaned, sorted, and resold?
“Not available in your location“
Can anyone share the details of the program?
It’s $4 per pound of bricks.
Accepted:
- LEGO bricks and elements that are fully disassembled and in good condition.
- LEGO Minifigures and Mini-dolls (no need to disassemble)
- LEGO Baseplates
Not currently accepted:
- LEGO DUPLO® bricks or elements
- Non-LEGO bricks, elements or toys
- LEGO sets that are fully or partially built
- Batteries or electronic components
- Storage containers, packaging or building instructions
What happens to my LEGO® bricks? Once we receive your bricks, we carefully check them to make sure they meet our eligibility criteria. After they pass the check, we weigh them to determine their final value and promptly send your payment.
Our goal is to keep as many bricks in play as possible - and this is a test run to help us figure out the best way to do it!
There's probably a local used Lego store near you that will do better than that
