It seems the forum isn't getting the same kind of community involvement as
it once did. It is fairly common to see less than 100 messages per day and I
had to go back to July to find a day that had over 200. The way the forum works
right now it can be very frustrating and time consuming finding posts of interest
as even new posts get buried quickly under 2 or 3 more active posts and that
makes it difficult to participate in the forum if you do not have the time to
browse or search through it. In terms of utility the bricklink forum is not as
easy to use and enjoy as say brickset forum. There are a lot of good parts of
the BL forum but I feel it is largely being ruined.

My suggestion is that when a post is responded to the post itself moves to the
top but it doesn't show up as a new message, so if a post is made and has
10 replies it will still just look like one post on the forum. I would also like
to recommend that certain categories get put into a different area apart from
the forum so maybe for example buying and selling, inventory change requests,
and sales posts could be seperated from the rest so they don't bury the rest
of the posts out there and stagnate the forum.

The goal would be to allow more people and ideas to participate in the community.

Just like Discogs where you can put into an inventory what you have (they name
it collection), it would be interesting to have such a feature.

It's basically a display without having to sell (i.e. right now you have
to be a seller to have an inventory).

I'm using currently wish list of the set I got at the moment and transfered
them into another wish list once I was done rebuilding it... I mean it works
but it's not exactly what wish lists are for!

we are working on a new generation of creativity
the first image are the kanohi custom i made for Bionicle kanoko.
we love to have new florescent trans-colors.
we have red-orange, neon-lime, florescent-medium-blue. the rarest of all are
neon-bright-yellow and hot-dark-pink that needs work because its not like the
one I remember. because its too dark, and the real deal really pink. described
in the 2nd image.
plus, we need new florescent colors
like... different colors that glow under UVlight. as described in the 3nd image
I got from google.

so the new colors we want/need to try are

neon-turquoise = (neon-green & medium-blue)

florescent-lavender = (hot-pink & medium-blue)

bright-coral = (hot-pink & red-orange)

I hope you like my ideas.

It would be nice not only to have a "new" and "used" condition but also a "damaged"
for parts. E.g. the 2490px2 often has broken clips and is still sold. But searching
for intact parts is a bit time consuming.

I didn't find out if someone else already asked for this feature.

I was wondering if there'd be a possibility of adding box contents to LEGO
sets on here. Something like listing the number of each bag, unmarked bags/unbagged
parts, etc.

I deal with a lot of secondhand sets and come across sets with open boxes (or
like today no boxes), but sealed bags of parts. Today I scored 14/17 numbered
backs for set 10237 Tower of Orthanc. I almost missed out on getting the second
bag #3 because it didn't obviously go with the other bags. Thankfully I
was able to find an old unboxing video on YouTube and figured out I'm missing
3 numbered bags (#1, #4, and one of the two #5s), plus the unnumbered eagle bag.
But usually when I'm in this situation, I haven't been so lucky. It's
especially tricky with sets that have unnumbered bags. I usually end up opening
them to do the inventory if I'm uncertain, but it would be nice to keep them
sealed and be able to know what was missing.

I'd be willing to provide the list for any new sets I open, if it might help
someone else out down the line. It seems like a fairly easy thing and I'm
surprised that, at least as far as I'm aware, there isn't somewhere to
find this information easily (at least for modern sets). Bricklink seems like
a natural place for this information to exist.

I'm not sure how many folks would be interested in that information, but
in the last year I've probably had questions on the contents for close to
10 different sets.

Anyway, I'm not even sure if this is the appropriate place to mention it,
but I thought I'd give it a shot.

Four pieces that I would like to see added are:

Black Large Figure Torso Skeletal with Gear Hips / Waist / Bottom

Pearl Dark Gray Large Figure Torso Skeletal Connector with 2 Ball Joints

Flat Silver Bionicle Armor Uniter with 2 Pin Holes on Front, Axle and Pin Holes
on Sides

Pearl Gold Bionicle Armor Uniter with 2 Pin Holes on Front, Axle and Pin Holes
on Sides

These four would be very good for 2016 uniter mocs, as it is currently difficult
to make them

Hey all,
Has there ever been a spot for custom minis? Any way we could add
a spot? Mainly MOC out of existing parts that are out there. Not hand made or
painted parts. Thanks.

Hello! I'm net1986 from South Korea!
I would like to suggest something today.

First of all I apologize for my poor English grammar, please understand.

This is what I would suggest this time.

"I wish there was function to view information of just part product from the
set, Not whole set. And function to order those just part product."



For example,
1. I want to get only police swat van from set 60008 Museum Break-in.(don't
need any part like figs or Museum)
2. But there is only brick information for whole set(Unnecessary a lot of information
confuses me)
3. It takes a lot of hard work to analyze for only just the swat van.
4. And It's very hard to order each part brick for the van



What I mean is that I wish there was a function to view a only part product(just
swat van of set 60008)and I wish I would order those part in way "easy buy".

I know that the "east buy" function already exists.
It's very helpful for restorers.
But now, It adjust only set product or MOC product as I know.

So, I wish the "easy buy" function is more enhanced(add part product from set)


I hope you guys understand my words.
reply me, thanks.
Best regard,

The first is folks sending messages directly to my PayPal and BrickLink notifications
email address. Which I don’t check on a regular basis.

Wouldn’t it be better all round if the user email address were hidden? therefore
emails would have to go thru the message system.

Leads to the second. BrickLink notifications are often delayed by two or three
days, then they all come thru together. Which is why I don’t check that mail
box often. Fairly frequently I receive the order placed notification AFTER I
have shipped the order!

I check messages on site, every morning when I first log on.

Also would benefit BrickLink as it would be far more difficult to trade off site,
if anyone were so inclined.

Please give this some consideration, it works well on the other place.

Thanks, Graham

Hi all

As the number of sets/pieces growing, I need to start cataloging my inventory
to avoid double purchases.

Any recommendations for such program to keep track of inventory is appreciated.

Thank you

I just opened a shipping method that I keep closed to avoid confusion because
it allows an international customer to instant checkout using domestic shipping
rates. It is for international customers who have a friend or forwarding service
in the US, but I keep it closed to avoid accidental or intentional misuse. It
would be handy if I could limit that to a country or to a specific user.

Is it possible to customize or change the thumbnail size when searching in the
catalog? I'm not sure if it's a setting I missed, but it would be useful
to when you're overlooking an entire line to find something specific.

Hello

Would it be possible to implement a new sort by-option in the Wanted List?
What I would like to see is "Missing" what would be the difference between "Wanted"
and "Have".

Quote system/Cart

Can we get the quote system/cart to be the same as the store cart?

As we all know with the Store cart when an item gets sold or the quantity differs
than you put in your cart, you can adjust the items in your store cart, or delete,
and your store cart is still active, and can remain active until you go through
with the order or empty it completely.

Can we get the quote system/cart to be like the store as well?

Rather than just losing everything in the quote cart when its gets cancelled
by whatever reason, and having to start all over again?

How can you change the Classic Layout. If you are going to make changes to things
it would be the new Layout.

We hate the way they removed the (My Order Note) line from under the order.

Now you have to travel way over to the right to see it, unless you have your
screen so small that you can't read it.

Please change it back.

I am after a few pieces to complete a few kits and am going from one checkout
to another, then to another and then cancelling the orders (before payment) because
the vendors haven't got the "Request a Quote" provision set up.
Clearly it would save a lot of stuffing around if you know the full cost incl
P&H before hand.
Even better - there should be a little icon or something next to the vendors
name to indicate whether they send quotes or not so you don't have to go
through the checkouts to find out right at the end.
This is what I'm experiencing in Australia

I'm interested to see offers from United States only.

Each time I'm on a hunt for something, I have to open the filtering options
and select selector location United States.

Please make it possible to set a default filter for all searches. It should be
available here: https://www.bricklink.com/searchSettings.asp?viewFrom=P

This will improve the shopping experience immensely.

Thank you.

First: Is this the right part of the forum to suggest features for stud.io? Where
else can I contact developers file bugs, propose features etc?

I think it would be nice to be able to import a sketch, drawing, photo as a background
plane (either xy-plane, one of the three or freely positioned) and scale it to
your needs. I think this would help me designing models way more easily if I
can base it on a drawing, blueprint, etc.

Any opinions on that?

It would be great if I could change the time zone on BrickLink. Maybe not the
most necessary feature, but it feels like it wouldn't be that difficult of

At the moment I have to search very time-consuming for the remarks when distributing
new parts, which are already in my invetory. Currently I always have to jump
into the inventory and take over the remark.
My suggestion would be to transfer the existing remarks already into the corresponding
fields. This function can also be optional (only if I want to transfer the old
remarks).

I would be very happy about this function.
Thanks and greetings

It would be useful to have an Order status to go between "Received" and "Complete"
- something like "Queried" or "Querying" - for when I have started a communication
with the vendor - it's almost complete, but maybe a part missing?
Cheers, Ian

I personally am fine with three but I've heard people complaining that 3
stockrooms are very few, as you can have a lot of wanted lists, a lot of featured
items, it's limitating that you only have 3.

I don't think it would be dramatic to increaase this number.

What do you thinK?

Hi All,

Maybe a stupid question, but why is the order details on the site the weight
of all items (so Lot weight x items ordered) and if you download it, the weight
of 1 unique lot.

Second, is it possible to have the total estimated weight per order on the Download,
like it's shown online in the order?

This because I like to see/calculate the average price/kg and the average price/piece
for my orders.

Hi, sorry if this has been suggested before but I cannot find it. It would be
great to have an ability to sort a Wanted list on "Difference" which is what
I want minus what I have. Then I can see what is missing and try to borrow the
parts from friends.
(= Want - Have).

The system must have this, otherwise the Buy All feature would not work correctly.
So please can it be an option in the Display pull-down box?

Thanks

Hi, just asking for your opinion, because I am wondering if there is a need for
inventory of parts sw12v1rightM and sw12v1leftM? I think there is, because my
white axle is broken off and to replace this I have to buy a complete switch!
As there are several parts like the screw, case and white axle, in my opinion,
it is usefull to add a inventory of these parts. What is your opinion? Greets,

When a buyer contacts me, using the contact form on BL, I get an email from BL
with the message. However, replying to that email just results in a bounced email.
I am forced to go into BL message center and copy/paste my text. Even worse when
I need to reply with an attachment (like a photo of a brick): not an option.
This all ends up in two // streams of communication: some messages are sent using
BL, others over direct email.

I'm forced to use a communication medium (BL) that is not adequate. Until
it's adequate, I would suggest to remove the "Messaging" feature all together.
Until BL can offer a mature messaging feature that makes direct email obsolete,
I would suggest to remove the Message feature (and point the users to direct
email contact). Now it's just a very confusing and annoying mix of communication
channels.

I would like to see the simple option to auto-fill the "my cost" during part-setting.
Other fields auto-fill (6 months average-sales of the option to use old remarks,
etc., even old/new average "my cost").

When I am part-setting I like to keep count of the average part-cost. When part-setting
bigger sets I will have to fill these out (copy/paste) 300-400 times, depending
on the lot-count. Absolutely killing my motivation. If I can choose one number
on the first part-out screen, it can be filled-out in the overview. Some lots
I change (baseplates/minifigs/stickersheet are not 6-7 eurocents "cost", but
  90% of the lots gets the same number.

I can;t imagine no one has had the idea to implement this before.

Kind regards,
Remko

I would really really really like to see a message when you try to list an item
in a colour that it wasn’t ever known to be in a set. This would cut down on
the HUGE number of mislisted incorrect colours. It would be a huge help. And
those of us that are really listing rare non-production colours would probably
be fine with clicking the “yes, I know this is crazy rare, I want to list it
“ button. The known colours info is already on the site, but many BL sellers

It would be really helpful if the site could memorize your last "sort by" setting
in every section and consider it your default, without exception.

For example, if I open a specific wanted list and sort it by item number, then
every next list I open will also be sorted by item number until I set it back
to "item name."

However, no matter how many times I open the master wanted list, i.e. my list
of wanted lists (lol), and sort it alphabetically, as soon as I refresh or revisit
the page the sorting is set back to "newest."

It would be really great if this could be... sorted out.

Thanks and sorry if this has been brought up before.

It would be really helpful if the 'sales' posts in the marketplace discussion
page had a stores country flag icon next to the username. To be able to see at
a glance would save us having to click on each post to find out. Personally I
tend not to buy outside the EU because of shipping costs and taxes.

Hello

Many times i search for a decorated items (xxxxPBxx for an exemple).
Exemple
I have this one :
2440pb002 / https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?id=2911#T=C

But it sadly never appears when we search for 2440 (what's only written on
the part)

And that's only thanks a long search on some other website that i finally
could find it on brickink.

So, is it possible to add all those sub-serial numbers to the normal search

For an exemple it could be a new COLOR category : decorated.
Or as for my exemple, it is a black part with decoration, so to put it in the
BLACK color.
Thanks a lot in advance

WOULD HELP A LOT in searches.

best wishes and long live your fabulous website

At the wanted lists "home page" there's obviouly the list of all your wanted
lists. But on the left, there's a menu where you can click on different part
catagories, set themes, minifigure themes, and such to see what you want from
that subsection across all your wanted lists. I would like the ability to filter
this to look at certain lists and not others, simular to when you're looking
at a store and can choose which wanted lists you want to buy for. I have 18 lists
and it is a little crowded and difficult to compare 2-4 lists with all that extra
information.

When looking at items in a store there are several options on how to sort the
items (price, quantity, color, etc). I would like a RECENTLY UPDATED option to
be added. This is simular to the RECENTLY ADDED, but not quite.

Recently it took me a few days to finalize a cart and I noticed price and quantity
changes for items in my cart. So I went back to the store to see if pieces I
thought were too expensive had gone down or if more pieces were added to an item
I wanted more of. But I couldn't find an easy way to see this without going
through every item again (which takes a while then there are hundreds of items
in my wantedlists/cart).

The RECENTLY ADDED option just shows when a piece was first added, not updated.
For instance the store I was in, said the most recent item was added in 2012.
This shows a false sense of inactivity which is obviouly wrong when stuff is
changing in my cart and this store has fulfilled thousands of orders. This additional
option would help people like me in simular situations, those who have recently
bought from the store and want to buy again, or who are adding to an order over
the next week or so (I see alot of store allowing this).

Hi

I know a lot of work goes on behind the scenes with volunteer administrators
who do a damn good job with the catalogue and inventories.

Is it about time Bricklink appointed an (or more) administrator (s) to oversee
the selling side of Bricklink.

Bricklink would not exists without its revenue from sellers putting in time and
effort to sell and pay fees to Bricklink.

Surely it is only fair to sellers and buyers that items for sale conform to the
rules. If items are being mis-represented they should be removed or sellers given
the opportunity to amend their listing.

It would be nice if Bricklink appointed people to oversee the selling side of
the business. Sellers may then start conforming with their listings

In searching through the categories for Lego sets, I could not find one that
included Lego games. Over the years Lego has produced many games: chess sets,
mazes, Heroica, etc. Is this omission an oversight or is it because there is
little market for used game sets? In either case, I felt disappointed in the
absence of such a category.

Hi.
Is it possible to create a list after the checkout, in which the wish lists can
be recognized, where the parts came from?
Maybe with a new function?
Would be great!

Hi.
Would it be possible to add a function that would allow us (buyers) to check
our orders part by part? (using a hook or something like that)?
For more than 100 parts it's always very cumbersome, with printing lists
or something like that.
It would be great!

It would be so much easier if BrickLink could connect to Royal Mail and download
orders like you can on eBay. I’d be happy to pay a little more on fees to accommodate
it.

Also if the shipping could be a little easier, I used to prefer the old way of
selecting a country, but I know the change was for auto invoicing etc.

Is there any guide that can help me or suggestions on making things easier?

I would love to be able to take all of the items in my own inventory and include
them as the cheapest (e.g. zero cost) option for any wanted list search. Right
now my store doesn't seem to show up at all, and it won't let me buy
from myself.

I can search for inventory items that are in a wanted list, but I can't automatically
mark them as 'Have' in the wanted list. So I have to print the list
and then go through by hand and mark the quantities in the Wanted list. Seems
like if I could just do it all in the Wanted List Buy screen, it would be easy!

When I make a purchase from a store, it could be for 3 or more builds. I would
like to be able to make a note on the order page, or a link to which want list.
This would help, a lot of the time, after a week or so shipment. I forget...

I don't want to see certain items on my lists but I want them to still be
on my lists.

When I am sorting through my pieces and finding pieces that I already have before
needing to buy more, I want to hide the pieces I either confirm that I do not
have or hide the pieces I have already.

I know I can sort by quantity but that still shows pieces that I have looked
for and do not have.

What is left visible on the lists will be pieces that I have not yet looked for.

I have gotten around this in the past by creating multiple wanted lists per project
and moving pieces to lists that say need to buy... but that has made my wanted
lists messy and I would prefer clean wanted lists.

Add the ability to search all carts by the name of an item. Sometimes I take
a while to build list of parts in several carts, for different stores. This process
may take several days (on and off). It would be very useful to see if I have
already put a part in a cart.

Thanks for considering.

I apologize if this is for suggestions for the website specifically, but I couldn't
find where to submit suggestions for the Bricklink Studio program itself. The
field of view in the view port is waaaay too narrow. If possible, a simple FOV
slider that goes up to at least 90 degrees would be enough to make using the
Studio program so much more easier, not only so I can see more but it so it won't
make me nearly as dizzy to use. Thanks for reading this, and I again apologize
if this was the wrong place to post this but I couldn't find any other place
to suggest this.

Can we please remove the 'Prefer My Bricklink Classic?' (and the corresponding
one from the old screen) from the top of the 'My Bricklink' page.

It takes up loads of screen real estate and would be as a tick box on a display
settings option.

I think after it being there a year most people will have chosen which style
they prefer.

I think all battery boxes (and other parts that take batteries) as well as the
sets that contain them should have a statement "this part/set takes xyz batteries"
to let people know what batteries they need.

A few items contain such information in their "notes" but its inconsistent (ideally
it should cover all the items that need batteries and possibly be a specific
field rather than just notes)

This is a fairly bad marketing idea for shops that probably don't work out
in the shops favour. I know a majority of my browsing has ended up in me taking
my business and money to another shop. Where I am either buying from someone
without a min buy, or selecting other items I actually want to hit that minimum
purchase amount. So my suggestion is to add a donation field/possibility to finish
passing the required purchase line.

I have only made 3 purchases since I joined but these 3 people are profiting
by shop deterrence over the min buy. One of which was a difference of 3 cents
to the min buy vs. paying 1 cent more for the same thing because it didn't
have one.
