I love the word monger. It's got a bit of rustic vulgar class to it. You may hear it often as in fishmonger or maybe rumormonger. How about a shoemonger, a meatmonger, or a cowmonger? Sounds like endless fun. I'm all about LEGOmongering. But if you're going to LEGOmonger then you need to respect the brand name and call yourself, say, a Brickmonger. Sounds legit.

Recommendation
Loremonger claims that his dispatch times can be rather long due to his packing and shipping being only on the weekend. I was lucky in placing my order on a Thursday and felt that I got it in a reasonable amount of time. With 25,000 items there is a decent selection for smaller builders. There are a few dozen lots of useable pieces in 100+ quantities and a few lots of basic bricks and technic pieces in 200+ quantities. The lots are roughly 50/50 for new and used. What he lacks in high quantity lots he makes up for well in widespread variety. Worth visiting.
