[Updated] LEGO website down, not loading or working? You're not alone

New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on May 1, 2023) follows:

LEGO is without a doubt one of the most iconic names in the construction toys industry. The company has been present for decades in the lives of children and adults.

Those interested in acquiring official sets can do so through the official website. However, this is not actually possible because the LEGO website is down or not loading.

Multiple reports indicate that the LEGO website is in the midst of a server outage that prevents users from being able to purchase products (or even check their accounts).

According to reports, the LEGO website is throwing ‘404 error’ and ‘504 error’ messages to users.

Man Lego’s website sucks it slowed down to a crawl and I can even get into my cart.

The cause of the issue seems to be a server overload after the release of new ‘May 4th’ Star Wars LEGO sets. The company servers were not ready for the big interest of the fans.

Many are upset because they stayed up until the wee hours to take advantage of the best deals before they sold out. But, they are currently unable to even access the website.

LEGO also released a new collection of Disney mini figures on the same day as the ‘May 4th’ Star Wars sets. So, it seems that the interest from the fans of two huge franchises was too much for the LEGO site servers.

There is still no official word on the issue from the LEGO team. We will update this story as events unfold in the future.

03:15 pm (IST): It would appear that the issue has been resolved, and the website is now accessible.

However, the outage had a considerable impact on users who had waited months for the launch date, only to find that their preferred sets were already sold out by the time they could access the website (1,2,3).

07:05 pm (IST): Reports (1,2) suggest that users had been experiencing issues with the website like slow server speed and were unable to redeem codes as well.

10:26 am (IST): According to fresh reports (1, 2, 3), LEGO website is currently down or not working for some.

However, there’s a potential workaround to fix the issue. You can check it out below.

I just manually typed in “Checkout” replacing of the word “cart” and kept refreshing that and it finally worked! http://lego.com/en-us/cart (Source)
