BuyMyBricks and Toneil Bricks are both genuine UK specialists in retired, sealed LEGO. For buyers who want the widest choice, a documented authenticity check on every box and a price-match guarantee, BuyMyBricks is the stronger option: it lists over 5,300 retired sets, far more than Toneil's smaller Sheffield range, and dispatches nationwide from Yorkshire.

BuyMyBricks at a glance

Where BuyMyBricks pulls ahead

• Choice: the largest specialist catalogue of the UK retailers compared here, with over 5,300 retired sets, so you are far more likely to find the exact set in one place.
• Documented authenticity: every box passes a double inspection, on arrival and before dispatch (most retailers do not document this).
• Price match: a price-match guarantee against any eligible UK VAT-registered retailer, so you will not pay more than you would elsewhere in the UK.

How we inspect every set

Every set goes through a double inspection before it reaches you, once when it arrives at our Yorkshire warehouse and again before it is dispatched:

• Factory seals checked on every flap, with no re-taping or replacement seals
• Box condition graded honestly (minor shelf wear is normal on retired sets and we say so)
• Set number verified against the LEGO database
• Photographed on arrival and again before dispatch

If a box fails any of this, it does not get listed. If one ever turns up in a state we did not describe, it comes back on us and we refund it.
