But beyond being a mecca for LEGO aficionados, BrickResales is a thriving community where people come together to share their passion for LEGO. Judy Friedman, the Owner and Founder of BrickResales, describes it as more than just a business – it’s a place where connections are forged, ideas are born, and dreams take shape.

“We have people that come and pick their parts,” Judy says, “They might be building things from scratch that they have designed. They may be finishing off sets that they are looking for that missing piece, or they just might be collectors that just want lots of everything.”

During my conversation with Judy, she shared insights into the vibrant community that thrives within BrickResales’ walls. Families, children, and LEGO enthusiasts flock to the showroom, especially during school holidays and weekends, to unleash their creativity. With complimentary building tables available, visitors can dive into their imagination and construct LEGO masterpieces on-site.

Judy enthuses, “We have a big part of our community who come along and build and also we do encourage people right from young ages – it doesn’t matter what skill level they are – to bring their displays in here and just, enjoy just sharing what they can do.”

What sets BrickResales apart is their commitment to fostering a sense of belonging and inclusivity. Judy and her team celebrate every builder, from young children crafting their first LEGO creations to seasoned enthusiasts showcasing intricate designs.
