The Brick Spotters is committed to providing readers with accurate, factual, and independent information about the LEGO universe. Our team works hard to build relationships with LEGO designers, industry insiders, and retailers to bring you timely reporting, honest reviews, and entertaining news. We do not accept accommodations, such as rental cars, hotel rooms, or flights, in exchange for coverage or reporting.
We base our reporting on verifiable facts and only pursue news and stories that we believe LEGO fans would be genuinely interested in. The Brick Spotters is dedicated to upholding the highest ethical standards in delivering content to our readers.
Conflicts of Interest
At The Brick Spotters, we are committed to maintaining transparency and independence in everything we cover. While our primary focus is on The LEGO Group and its products, our team members are expected to disclose any personal or professional connections they may have with LEGO or related companies, including partnerships, collaborations, or employment.
If a team member is directly involved with a LEGO-related project, such as contributing to a set design, participating in promotional activities, or working for a third-party company associated with LEGO, they will disclose this information beforehand and preferably not be allowed to write about topics that our editorial team may construe as conflict of interests. This helps us ensure our coverage remains fair, honest, and free from potential conflicts of interest.
Sources
We do not pay for information. Our reporting relies on publicly available, verifiable sources whenever possible. Any information gathered through our direct connections in the LEGO community or industry will be clearly marked as such unless anonymity is requested by the source.
Corrections
The Brick Spotters encourages readers to notify us if they believe we have made an error in our reporting. Please use the Contact Us page to reach out, and we will promptly review and, if necessary, correct the information.
Advertising
Our editorial policy allows for advertising to support our work and maintain our independence. Any sponsored posts or paid partnerships will be clearly disclosed. Sponsored content is usually outsourced to external partners and labeled appropriately.
We never create editorial content specifically to please a sponsor or advertiser. The Brick Spotters will never sacrifice editorial integrity to promote a set, product, or company in a way that does not genuinely reflect our team’s opinions and experiences.
Editorial discretion, not external influence, guides all of our decisions. We strive for full transparency so that our readers can trust the content we produce.
Product Samples for Reviews
The Brick Spotters accepts LEGO sets and related products for review purposes. We always offer honest opinions based on firsthand experience. We retain the right to decline to review a set or product if we believe we cannot provide meaningful feedback to our readers.
Our reviews will include disclaimers noting when a set was provided for free, the number of build sessions, and other relevant information. Our commitment is to guide fellow LEGO fans with honest insights based on our knowledge and passion for the hobby.
