Lego pauses part of ‘Pick a Brick’ service for U.S. customers

Thousands of pieces from Lego’s “Pick a Brick” service are no longer available to customers in the U.S. and Canada as of this week, which could make it harder for hobbyists to customize their sets and replace lost bricks. You can probably blame President Donald Trump.

Pick a Brick is an online service offered by the Lego Store that lets fans order individual pieces for as little as three cents. The Lego news and reviews site New Elementary reports that “thousands of elements” from its “Standard” collection were removed from the service for North American customers on Aug. 25. Approximately 1,500 pieces from its mainstream “Bestseller” collection still remain.
