Follow Lego Locken & Get $25 Free
Here’s the problem: the best LEGO deals in this shop never actually make it to the shop floor. They get sold live, in real time, to whoever’s in the chat when the auction starts.
That’s not a marketing line. That’s just how Whatnot works. I’m Locken Henderson, owner of Dapper Bricks, and under the handle Lego Locken I run live LEGO auctions and drops on Whatnot: sealed sets, rare minifigures, and bulk brick lots by the pound. Sold live. Sold fast. Sold to whoever’s paying attention.
If you’re not in the chat, you’re not getting the deal. Simple as that.
How Whatnot Actually Works
Whatnot is a livestreamed marketplace. Picture a home shopping channel, except run by LEGO nerds instead of guys selling steak knives. Here’s the format:
- I go live.
- Items come up one at a time.
- You bid in the chat, in real time.
- Highest bid when time runs out takes it home.
No waiting on a restock. No refreshing a product page hoping it’s still there. You either catch the drop, or you don’t, and someone else adds it to their collection instead.
New Here? We’re Paying You $25 to Try It.
First-time Whatnot buyers get $25 credit, applied automatically at checkout. No promo code to hunt down, no fine print. Just $25 off whatever you bid on first.
That’s not us being generous for no reason. That’s us betting you’ll like it enough to come back for the next show.
How to Join a Show (Takes 2 Minutes)
- Download the Whatnot app and create an account.

Why Bother With a Live Auction Instead of Just Buying It Online?
Fair question. Here’s the honest answer: because it’s better for you, not just for us.
- You see it before you buy it. Sets, box condition, minifig paint: it’s on camera, live, not a stock photo.
- You set the price. No sticker shock. If it’s not worth it to you, you don’t bid.
- You get first crack at rare stuff. A lot of what shows up on Whatnot never makes it to the shop at all.
- You’re hanging out with other LEGO people. The chat is half the fun. It’s a room full of people who get why you’d fight over a minifigure.
Quick Questions, Straight Answers
Is Whatnot free to join and watch?
Yes. Downloading the app, creating an account, and watching shows costs nothing. You only pay when you win an auction.
Is this the same inventory as the shop in Mt Pleasant?
Some overlap, but a good chunk of what goes live on Whatnot is stuff you won’t find in the shop: rare pulls, bulk lots, and one-off deals we run just for the stream.
What happens if I don’t win anything?
Nothing. No cost, no obligation. Follow along, watch the chat, and jump in whenever something catches your eye. There’s always another show.
