LEGO’s Pick a Brick service is no longer shipping most pieces to the US due to Donald Trump’s tariff policy. Pick a Brick allows people to buy individual bricks for prices that are usually less than a dollar each. But due to the elimination of the de minimis policy, which waived tariffs on imports less than $800, it is no longer financially viable for LEGO to ship to the US. Some bricks are still available, as LEGO keeps popular bricks in warehouses in the US, but most bricks are shipped from Denmark. Canada, for unknown reasons, is also affected by the shipment pause.

Damn, sorry Canada. Hope it wasn’t because of crossfire.
I imagine a pamphlet in the style of christofascist childrens books, explaining to your preschooler how it’s the big man’s fault that you cannot have nice things anymore.
When trump said you need less dolls, he meant minifigs.
Everything Taco touches turns to shit. Even ruining hobbies now.
How are the reasons unknown? If they are keeping bricks here they probably aren’t keeping them in Canada too. That’s what bonded warehouses are for.
There are a huge number of bonded warehouses in the Seattle and Vancouver area for instance. The ports are so close together that most companies just pick one and then ship across the border by truck or rail.
