Black Friday to Cyber Monday Sale
From Friday 26 November 2021 to Monday 29 November 2021, everything in the Bricks for Bricks Bricklink.com store is priced as follows:
5% off orders over $80
7% off orders over $110
Hopefully the Bricklink interface took my sale. If you don’t see the discount prices, let me know at store@bricksforbricks.com.
And as a reminder, 15% off the profits go to the 2021 Creations for Charity drive on 29 November. It’s looking like this will be our largest amount we have given yet so we’re excited.
Happy building!
Bricks for Bricks BrickLink is back OPEN!!!
Thanks for your patience while Bricks for Bricks went through a move. The BrickLInk store is back open! The only changes right now are orders within Alabama are subject to an 8.5% sales tax. It's good to be back.
Happy building!
Bricks for Pencils of Promise
Bricks for Bricks is always looking for local groups to help out with, but we've decided to support some larger groups as well since our online sales will not always be from people in the local area. With that being said, the first group we have decided to support is Pencils of Promise. Have you ever heard of it? Pencils of Promise was founded in October 2008 by Adam Braun. While traveling in India, he asked a boy what he wanted most in the world. The boy responded that he wanted a pencil. Adam handed the boy a pencil and so it began. Since then, Adam put together a team that collects funds to build schools in Guatemala, Ghana, Laos, and Nicaragua. Besides building schools (329 finished since 2009), they provide support to teachers, water and health programs for the school, and scholarships for students. If you want to see more about them, you can visit the Pencils of Promise site here.
So what's the plan? Bricks for Bricks is focused on giving back. In the past year or so of operations, we've given a small amount of funds to various local groups by participating in sales at their fundraising events. Now that we're selling online, it's time to reach out to help a wider audience. Why not help people around the world? So here is the announcement...
Starting today, 24 January 2016, bricks for bricks will be giving 15% of our profits to Pencils of Promise.
Pencils of Promise lists a number of goal amounts:
-$25 provides educational opportunities for 1 student
-$500 supports a teacher
-$10,000 provides a WASH (Water Sanitation, and Hygiene) for a school
-$25,000 builds a Pencils of Promise school
So what can we do? Support a few students? Support a classroom of students? Support the class and their teacher? Keep the class healthy? Build a school?
What can you do? Just check out our STORE and get the minifigures you were looking for. We'll track our profits and give 15% to Pencils of Promise. Simple as that. No extra work required.
One other bonus...
Starting today until our supply is exhausted, we'll give a free brick separator to anyone making a purchase of $25 or more.
Brick separators are sold by LEGO for $2.49.
250 million children worldwide lack basic reading, writing, and math skills. Together we can change that. Every purchase can help make a difference. Thank you for your support!
Next up! 5 Dec - 9 AM to 3 PM - E. Stapleton Elementary in Rio Rancho
Our next sale will be on 5 December 2015 from 900 AM to 300 PM at E. Stapleton Elementary for their annual Holiday Craft Fair. The school is located at 3100 8th Ave NE Rio Rancho, NM 87124. You can click the link for a Google Maps view of where the school is located.
We have a few new items in to include some Star Wars sets, some new minifigures, and a few new LEGO Movie sets. If there's anything specific you want me to have at the show, send me an e-mail here.
Thank You!
Thanks Albuquerque fans of Lego for coming out to support this past Saturday. We supported the Manzano High School Marching Band and their future events.
The next show is on 5 December at E. Stapleton Elementary in Rio Rancho. This will be the second year Bricks for Bricks will be selling at this show.

Another note for Albuquerque Lego fans, Bricks and Minifigs in ABQ reopened yesterday (14 November). The store is under new ownership. I haven't been yet, but I'm excited to know that ABQ will still have this great store.
-----
I'm going to continue working on building my online store and I'll be posting a few reviews of sets that I've acquired, but haven't been able to open up yet. Those sets include Wall-E, The Big Bang Theory, the Kwik-E-Mart, and the Ferrari F40.
Sale this Saturday!
Bricks for Bricks will be at the Manzano High School Royal Guard Marching Band craft fair fundraiser. It is this Saturday, 14 November from 1000 AM to 300 PM. For more details, go here.
I'm making sure inventory is in order with some of the new sets an minifigures acquired in the past year as well as some bags of bricks so you can buy whatever you want. Hope you can stop by and get some bricks. Plus be sure to check out some of the other vendors.
Break--Break
Bricks for Bricks currently has one more show scheduled before Christmas. I'm working hard to also get our inventory online so people can order right from our website. It's still a work in progress. It's taking a while to load all of the inventory and I need to make sure the process is in place before I open it to the public. So stay tuned!
New Inventory
A bunch of new items for some upcoming fall sales. As you can see, we are heavy on the new LEGO Star Wars sets. There are also some Super Heroes sets and one of the LEGO Ideas Exo Suits.
A Friend's set, some polybags...
Series 14 minifigures and Simpsons Series 2 minifigures as well as a few base plates.
Next sale is 14 November at the Monzano High School cafeteria to support their band. What other items would you like to see carried at that show?
Support the Zia Family Focus Center
Bricks for Bricks will not be at this show (sadly), but I'm giving them a plug anyways. I had two sales with them last year and we were able to donate $20 plus a bag of bricks back to them. So please go support this great place that helps kids out!
Bricks for E. Stapleton Elementary School
On December 6th Bricks for Bricks along with 80 other vendors set up shop at E. Stapleton Elementary School in Rio Rancho to help raise funds for future school activities. Bricks for Bricks was excited to learn that the school hosts a weekly building session for kids. They show up an hour before school starts and get to build with bricks. How come they didn't have that back in the day when I was in school?
