What web sites, resources, and tools do enthusiasts use? It would be helpful to have a list of these available to reference in the future.

I'm curious, why is this on meta? It's not about our site, is it?– LegoSonicBoyCommented Oct 27, 2011 at 18:24

1@BoltClock: It's quite literally a meta-question - "Where do we find answers to questions?" It's not a question about Lego, but a question to help people better answer questions about Lego.– user23Commented Oct 27, 2011 at 19:02

Peeron/PICSL is one of the oldest and most comprehensive databases of parts and sets.
Bricklink is an online marketplace that also maintains a massive parts database.
Brickipedia is less comprehensive than Peeron but has details on more non-toy aspects of Lego, and after years of dealing with MediaWiki and knockoffs, I find it easier to use than Peeron.
Eurobricks news and forums
Lugnet if only for the archive
Classic Castle news and forums
History Bricks my favorite blog, all the mocs I need!
Brickshelf everybody's mocs
MOCpages nicer moc posting environment
Brickset: LEGO set guide
LEGO: the homepage of a company started by a Danish carpenter, has some interesting info
rec.toys.lego roll call: some rec.toys.lego archives
LDraw: one of the most comprehensive parts database and foundation fo numerous CAO tools. Peeron uses it too.
