Hi Bill, I have created a new site http://rebrickable.com which I would love to see in your links list :)
Nathan, that’s an interesting concept for a site. I added it. Good luck!
Bill, I have built a new site http://www.brickpicker.com which focuses on Lego collecting and current market values for sets.
I would suggest that you add http://www.bricksinmotion.com to the LEGO media section, since this Brickfilming site is MUCH more prolific than brickfilms.com.
Hey Bill, it would be nice if you could add our german AFOL community http://wwww.doktor-brick.de to your links.
http://www.worldbricks.com Download LEGO instructions and catalogs from the 1950’s to the present time. Search by theme, year or number.
I would suggest that you add http://brickadelics.com to the LEGO Blog section.
Hello Guys,

http://www.brickmafia.com/

Hey Bill,
I recently started my own blog and I’m starting to build up backlinks. Could I request you add https://gjbricks.com to your list? I’m happy to add you back onto my site.
Hello Bill,
Just wondering if my new website may be of interest to you – especially for this excellent list of links you have created. My website focuses on my skyscraper models built using LEGO but also has posts that cover the various building techniques I have used (your presentations were an excellent resource for me when I got started in this hobby).
Thanks,
Deep
Thanks! I added your site to the list, and did a bunch of reorganization and cleanup on the site. Some of the sites mentioned in older comments above have gone offline, unfortunately, but not sure if I should remove those comments or not…
