|
| For quite some time now there have been discussions on the forum about catalogue
changes as well as other areas of improvement to the site (Performance etc.).
There have been lots of different people involved and Russell has commented on
a couple of occasions but of course nothing is out in the open for plans at present
whilst the Lego takeover completes.
One thing I find strange and that is with all the talent (Programming wise) that
exists on the site, coupled with the technical Lego knowledge that also exists,
no one other than a couple of people have chimed in about getting some senior
analysts involved with a plan to redevelop. This is a very complex site but it
can be broken into segments |(elements) many of which can be handled by existing
software. For example the core processing behind the site is an order processing
system. We are aware of at least two products which could deal with that side
of it easily and have been built with 'linking in' other elements in
mind.
Inventory control, which in our opinion, is an essential element which has been
needed for some time is also out there and fits nicely into either of the two
above products. Again this needs an analyst to look at it and report to the decision
makers what needs to be done. It doesn't, with all due respect, require a
programmer to sit down and write the code first.
The catalogue is a different animal and needs a huge amount of thought. The data
currently held is priceless - not sure even Lego have it all, so that needs some
TLC and a significant amount of time spent to come up with the best way forward.
But, and it is a little word with a great big meaning here, the costs of doing
this are nowhere near outrageous and if libraries of code can be used e,g, order
processing, inventory control etc, then huge amounts of money and time can be
saved in achieving what is required.
The redevelopment of this site will not cost a fortune and it was well within
the means of the former owners to accomplish. They chose, for whatever reason,
not to do that - Lets hope that Lego will look at it differently.
Lets get behind hiring some senior analysts and get the project off the ground.
There was never a better time to start than now. With the strength of Lego and
its marketing machine behind the site who knows where we can go.

| The minifigs in set 75948 do not appear to have been inventoried yet and according
to the catalogue page it is not pending - is there a problem with these?

| Firstly let me say that we know suggestions are not being implemented and according
to MP no work is being done on the classic site however this is a small request
which doesn't require huge amounts of development time and would make life
a bit easier.
Currently the method of manually adding inventory is long winded, provides no
audit trail of what has been done and at best is clumsy.
We use Brickstock for most of our updates to our store. It is much easier, quicker
and provides us with a complete audit trail - the only real snag is what happens
when the file gets to Bricklink, The verify screen drops off the Bricklink part
number for some reason so we are left with an audit trail which, when variants
are involved, isn't really all that helpful, although to be fair we have
used this for some time.
Simply placing the bricklink product code on the verify screen would be very
helpful and this is not a major programming issue. At the same time give us a
print button to print that screen Using the print command from the browser doesn't
work well with the page setup falling short of what is needed.
This is a simple matter and could be resolved in minimal time - please implement.

it comes in there is an white rubber band which holds the two halves
together. The instructions show the rubber band being used in each case. Should
there be an inventory for the part?

|
| Good morning
It is now clear from the evidence we have gathered that the catalogue is not
currently correct for these part id's. The part is correct but
should only be used for solid colours, similar to the 3004/3065. Both the 94638
and 353787 are for Transparent colours of the same part - we are in the process
of investigating those two parts to see if there is any difference in them.
So far the 94638 comes in 4 transparent colours Trans-Clear, Trans Bright Green,
Trans-Black and Trans-Light Blue. The part also carries a slightly different
description with Lego - incorporating the Letters PC (PolyCarbonite) at the end.
The 35378 is currently only available in Trans-Clear, Trans Light Blue and Trans-Black.
All 3 parts are available through the Lego Bricks & Pieces site as separate items.
What we suggest in the first instance is to separate 87552 and restrict it to
solid colours only. Hopefully in due course we will have the answer on the other
2.

| We are aware that nothing is going on on the classic site whilst the development
team focus on Bricklink XP, so we will make this as short and sweet as we can.
Having contacted the forum and put all elements of this together it is plain
that a subtle but important change needs to be in place for the price guide screen.
Understanding full well what happens with the 'sold at' columns those
can be left as they are until the whole price guide is revisited, whenever that
is going to be. The current items for sale, however needs s small but important
change, in our view. It is currently not possible to determine the currency conversion
rate for those figures. It could have been anyti8me in the last hour or this
hour or whenever.
Please simply add the two fields which are used to convert e.g. for example $1
= 'x' £;s and £1 = 'x$). This will enable any member, buyer or seller,
to at least get their figures correct when working offline. This is not a complicated
change/fix - it merely requires placing those fields on that screen each time
they change. The fields are held somewhere in the system even if it is a temporary
table, so it should be relatively straight forward to display them on the price
guide screen.
Thoughts ?

| Need a little help here. The above set number is on each of the polybag mingifugres
that we have but of course they are individual figures not a complete set. Have
just tried to replace the catalogue photo with our own image and the system keeps
falling over with an internal resource problem Server 500 error. (Solved this
problem)
The picture of the complete set is confusing and despite the fact that the description
clearly says it is a single random figure from the set, we still get questions
about it.
The price guide for the 71017 is also not very helpful as it shows the price
for the complete set not an individual figure.
Need to understand better what is going on here. Help.

|
| Please consider the following:
1. Add colour as an option
2. When using the 'by category filter@ please show sub-totals by category
It would also be a good idea to incorporate the ability to update selected inventory
items into a superlot.
In addition, whilst you can use external tools to work on pricing it would be
far better if that type of tool existed on the MY Inventory page.
We are aware there has been discussion over sellers tools since 2013, and these
things may or may not be in those new tools, however it is now 5 years since
that discussion began and to date, I am not sure anyone is aware of what may
or may not be coming.
We are led to believe that Admin_Jaclyn is project managing the sellers tools
- Could we have an indication as to what is being considered, please?

|
| Yesterday I added about 6000 dark green 1 x 1 plates to our inventory as we continue
to build up quantities of standard items. I listed them at our standard price
and then later on went to my inventory page, called up that item and added a
tiered price at 1p below our standard price for quantities of 100 or more. Fine
- no problem.
Today additional stock of that particular item came across my desk to be added
and I went to add the item - filled in all information to add the additional
pieces. Lo and behold the system removed my tiered price and set it back to 0.
As it is not really possible to remember all the items we have on tiered pricing,
I believe the system should either show you this or have an option to retain
tiered pricing.
Anyone else - or is there a workaround to ensuring the tiered pricing sticks.

|
| Currently there is no way you can determine easily from looking at the price
guide what currency conversion has been used to determine the move from USD to
any other currency. As this figure has to be held/determined (calculated) somewhere,
whether in BL or by xe.xom it is available to be displayed and updated as regularly
as the price guide.
If Bricklink displayed that figure it would be very helpful for everyone's
use whether buying or selling. This is especially relevant for the last 6 months
sales which is a floating figure and is not easily determined - (it can be done,
but is very long winded and takes a lot more time and effort to get right.
As for the changes this would require, they are absolutely minimal from a coding
point of view and it would help to solve the never ending threads about currency
conversion and the price guide.
It would also help with Brickstock, but I am sure that is of no concern to Bricklink.

|
| As there is almost constant changes going on in the catalogue stores need more
features to ensure they are up to date. For example - we received orders over
the weekends for many of our pieces which of course have been changed
to . I had to go to my inventory page for the part and change each and
everyone of these from 3794 to 3794a, That 'dropped 4 or 5 small images -
(we will re-do those photos and submit) but they had photos before we changed
them from 3794 to 3794a.Hmmmm
It is a very simple select and update query in SQL - surely one of the developers
can put together a screen to allow us to update multiple items in our inventory
at once. We are in the dark ages here really.
In addition I noticed yet another quirk which is simple enough to sort out but
untouched
We hold bulk amounts for many standard items (in the thousands of each of them)
and decided to set up a tiered pricing schedule for each of those taking 1p off
at each quantity break. Fine - it was still a manual exercise for over 100 items
but we went through that - only to find that we either had to repeat this each
time we added to that part or we would lose that tiered pricing. The options
on consolidate are far too limited. We need at least another method of new price
and retain old tiered pricing.
Neither of these changes require huge amounts of time or development effort but
both have needed doing for some time.
It may be a question of priorities or design or ????? but surely such simple
mods can be dealt with quickly and efficiently.
It does get exasperating sometimes. And Brickstock will not allow you to make
these changes offline and upload them either. We have tried that and failed.
We have also advised Patrick but he has gone missing at present.
Come on Bricklink - the stores need their tools (just like buyers, if not more
so)

|
| I am sure there are lots of sellers who are waiting to see what enhancements
Bricklink as and when the finally release the sellers tools they hafve talked
about..
We would like to see a small modification done now to help on the 'add inventory
screens'. This would take a programmer less than an hour to accomplish and
it would aid most sellers.
When you manually add an item to your inventory you can do it in one of several
ways. When you go this route some things, which are important are missing.
From the main catalogue page for any given part choose Add to my inventory. This
takes you to the add inventory page and fills in some of the details for you
e.g. part no; colour etc, leaving you to add the quantity, price, condition and
any remarks you wish to make. You then click on the review item button at the
bottom and it takes you to the review item page where you do not see all the
relevant information No part no - no remarks. How can you really review the information
if it isn't all presented to review. Good memory? Maybe if you are only doing
the odd one, but if you are using this in anger it would be very helpful if the
review item page had the part no on it as well as the remarks field.
A similar situation occurs with the mass inventory upload. Once you paste your
xml file into the window you choose verify and all the parts in that file are
listed but instead of displaying the part nos for the items it drops them off
despite being in the xml upload.
Again a very minor programming job which would aid the sellers.
Think about it Bricklink. Make the site easier for us to use.
See images attached.

| To Admin/Development
The order download feature is clumsy and nor set out to work in today's IT
environment. Please bring it up to date and provide choice for which columns
that the user wishes to download. Choosing include details is insufficient. More
people would use this feature if the flexibility in design was improved.
Bring the formats up to date as well as even Excel 2010 is unhappy with the MS
excel download. Stop combining the colour field with the description field etc.,
etc etc.
If improvements here are planned for sellers tools, please let us know and provide
an anticipated delivery date for that. We want to download our orders into our
off-line system and at present this is a totally manual exercise.
Those of us who use off-line systems need more flexibility to deal with data
from Bricklink.
We haven't pout this as a suggestion cause quite honestly we do not feel
that route works very well at all.

| Sine the rollout of Instant checkout and various updates there have been a number
of posts regarding the templates BL are forcing users to use.
Would it not be a better idea for the number of templates to be increased so
the stores can have their own choice of how they want it organised and addressed.
This is a simple code change for the programmers and allow some more flexibility
for the stores in addressing the various issues e.g. IBAN and bank details; etc.

|
| It would be very helpful if in the part descriptions submitters were required
to put colours where appropriate. For example and especially for minifig torso
assemblies.
If someone submits a new minifig torso or legs assembly they should fill in a
short form for Hip colours, leg colour(s) as well as torso colour, arm colour
and hand colour.
If we could get this as a requirement it would make life much easier especially
when using tools like goatleg.
If the description doesn't include all this information then Goatleg doesn't
always find it and that makes identifying some of these parts much harder than
it needs to be.

|
| The Bricklink catalogue has the perfect base for this change but it is a question
of whether the developers feel they can do it with minimum effort. Each item
in the catalogue has a PCC as well as its mould or design id number associated
with it. The PCC code is Lego's element id and it is what they print in their
instructions.
There have been lots of comments both in and out of the forum concerning part
weights and how there is a variance between colours of the same part number.
We have also experienced this. The simple way to deal with this is to add a weight
field against the PCC in the catalogue. This would allow the system to hold the
individual weights for each colour part and could be used to more accurately
provide cart weights for instant checkout when it comes out of preview.

screen.
Please see images - the first two are what we have now. The 3rd image is what
we would like to see as an improvement/enhancement.
This would very much help to gauge where you were as a store in comparison to
others. The current sorts are okay, but adding these will give the stores a real
opportunity to compare themselves with stores of similar size etc.
This is not a massive code change - the query that gest the underlying data for
all existing sorts simply have an "ORDER BY" command associated with them.
Please note we are well aware how frequently that data changes but that really
doesn't matter for the purposes this serves.

| As mentioned in the previous suggestion - we are all waiting on either details
of the sales tools in the next update or the launch of that update, whichever
BL decide to provide. Yesterday I put a suggestion forward for a different type
of view on the price guide which would make our lives much easier. Hopefully
that will garnish enough support to at least get noticed.
Today we want to talk about another very nice addition to the price guide when
trying to use it to determine what you wish to part out.
Currently if you visit Brickset you can find on their full screen inventory view
a summary of the items in each set by category and colour. Unfortunately they
are not the Bricklink categories nor colours, so it takes a little while to convert
that. Please see their summary of set 75030 (image 1).
I have converted that to a Bricklink summary (image 2), which is already in the
system as data and just needs a new view or query set up for us to see it and
use it.
In addition it would be really helpful if when you ask it to part out a set to
determine its value and how many of the items you already have in your inventory
if it not only told you the totals, but to be able to click on that link to see
what individual parts you would be adding or need to complete that set. This
is shown in red in image 3. Make it clickable.
Hope all of this is clear. If not please add your thoughts. Lets get the most
we can out of the catalogue -a fter all we all contribute to it.

| We would like to see some changes to the way the price guide can be viewed whilst
waiting for the site update to take place for this area. Currently for those
that use the guide to check prices on items you have to go back and forth between
the 'choose page' and the detail page. So, if you have or want a variety
of say part 2420 in different colours you can spend some time going through the
process to see all the data and then once you have seen it all, unless you write
it down you cannot remember all the info you had to take in.
If an option was available to view 'all colours, for example' you could
have all the information you need in one place. See example. The link at the
end of the table would provide the demographic date for the colour chosen, if
, again for example you wanted to see the prices in the UK for example.
Comments?
(The figures in the example are all fictitious).

| Please add a colour filter to the my inventory page either below or above condition.
This will allow an easy way to find a specific piece in a specified colour. At
present the only way that we know of to do this is by knowing the element ID
(PCC) and that is not known to most, without looking it up.
It might also be useful when you choose a part no say 3001 to get not only a
lot count but a summary of the total no of items (broken into new and used).
Again the only way this can be done now is to manually add these up. (That is
what we have computers for, especially ones with SQL databases)

|
| We are aware of many stores who use the order audit trail for a 'history'
of the total transaction. We do this as well, except there are currently some
holes that could be filled with a few simple changes.
1. Provide the option for the seller to attach the drive-thru message to the
order
2. Provide a 'link' to the invoice (not just a date invoiced)
3. Allow sellers to 'attach' any PM's that have been sent
4. Maintain transactions dates for the order rather than simply changing the
date when an event takes place. If someone adds a batch - that is a separate
date from the original order date. In the same way if there is a item removal
done etc., etc.
Sellers could then have a completed audit trail of events surrounding the order
(if they wished).
In reality this would help not only the seller but the buyer as well.
Please consider.

|
| I am aware that this has been suggested many times before by various people and
unfortunately nothing has ever been done about it but perhaps now is the time
to bring it back up.
When a new used comes to Bricklink they are faced with lots of hurdles - they
will not recognise the Bricklink part numbering system; and in lots of cases
the colours as many of them have totally different names.
The Lego stores also call colours differently e.g. Dark Blue to them is their
standard blue brick and if you ask for Earth Blue - they often look at you with
a puzzled look, even though that is an official Lego Colour name. The same with
Green etc.
So, with that in mind could the Bricklink developers not come up with a better
idea than the current colour chart for the catalogue. Perhaps similar to the
very old and outdated Peeron one.
It would help the new buyers - and after all we give them the option to key in
the number at the back of the Lego instructions to find a part (and little do
they know by using that number they get the part in the correct colour).
Bricklink want to encourage new buyers and as a store we want that as well -
but let us give them the tools do make it easier for them not more complicated.

| Improvements to the invoicing capabilities from within Bricklink. When the development
team are evaluating the things they wish to include in their next release e.g.
tools for the stores, inventory management etc, please do not ignore the invoice.
We need the ability to include graphics (e.g. store logo) and provide the ability
to use attachments as well as design our own. Almost all modern systems allow
for this.
It is a marketing tool and needs to be used as such - not what we currently have.

| One of the ways to see where your store is in regards to others is to compare
the weekly/monthly and yearly feedback figures. Currently this is a long winded
process of clicking on each stores feedback and looking at the summary table.
We would think it would be far easier to add a sort method which reflects either
the weekly/monthly or annual feedback figures. This way you could easily see
where your store sits in the overall scheme of things.
Whilst this may not be an urgent development requirement with all the other things
that are going on in development, this might be a useful addition to the stores
update which has been mentioned as 'coming' by the Bricklink admin.
Just a thought .....

| As the topic has now done it's usual - off on a tangent' we would like
to pick up on one of admin's comments early on the discussion. They said
their next project was to help the sellers (why that is lower in priority than
the buyers - I am not sure)
We would like to ensure the following items are addressed in this next development
and would like to gauge the reaction of other stores to this:
1. Inventory management tools
2. Sales analysis tools
3. Multi-user logins to stores with security permissions
4. Significant improvements to the NPB process which is currently too long winded
5. Improvements to the Bricklink messaging system to allow graphics as well as
attachments
6. Multi level minimum values e.g. 1 for Domestic and 1 for non-domestic for
example
7. Shipping policies per country as appropriate. We only shipped on a tracked
basis to some countries.
8. Much more flexibility in how we deal with orders from the printing/downloading
etc point of view. Stores organise their parts differently. It is unlikely that
any two stores are identical and we now have over 10000 live ones.
9. Quicker turnarounds on new inventories/parts and colours.
10. A much more up to date forum capability - bring it into the 21st/22nd century.
Please feel absolutely free to comment or add to this list if you have other
points as well.

|
| Something simple that the developers could add quite quickly to the price guide
which would help those who use it and are shocked when someone has a non-appropriate
price against an item. In the totals column they could put a total value as well
as total lots and total quantity. If that figure was there, you could easily
subtract the non appropriate value and work your own average price (if that is
how you set your pricing).
There was an example of this this morning. part number 11477 in Dark Purple.
According to the price guide the average price for a used piece should be 1.09,
but when you look at the list of prices for each country this cannot be right.
Then you see an entry for a seller in the USA who has obviously made a mistake
at £45+ which sways the actual average from around 9p to the 1.09. Knowing what
the total value is you could subtract the high value (and quantity, of course)
and easily calculate the real average.
Whilst we believe the entire price guide needs rethinking this could help in
the short term and quite honestly producing the total figure in the query that
brings back the results is less than two lines of code.

|
| We think this might be a helpful way to use the price guide feature (for those
that use it)
It would allow stores to look at pricing across their range of items and it would
allow buyers to choose a cost factor on a part where colour isn't too important.
You would choose the part no and then from a drop down or combo box, you could
choose one or more elements that you wanted to compare or look at.
It is, of course just another way of looking at the data in the system.

|
| This one has been around a long time and unfortunately nothing seems to be happening
with it.
Bricklink needs to change the way the login/accounts function works. As a medium
sized store with an owner and 3 employees we need to allow the employees to log
into Bricklink and update store inventory, prices etc almost every day and as
things currently stand they have to use the owners login details (Poor security).
SQL, which is used for the database has quite a good security system built in
so even if we went native with that, it would be better than the current situation.
The same thing applies for stores with multiple locations - we have two processing
centres - one where all of our Lego inventory is stored, picked etc and one where
orders are packed and shipped from. Hence we want to set up a shipping from address
and a shipping to address. The fact that not all stores support the alternate
address system on Bricklink, as it currently stands means the only real way to
do this is using alternates on Paypal (for those that use Paypal).
So in summary - multiple logins to the stores with security/control permissions
and a minimum of 2 address for each store - one for ship from and 1 for ship
to.
As an afterthought it might not be a bad idea to allow store owners to have two
accounts - one for buying and one for selling, with the appropriate feedback
associated with each function. This might make a difference as to how people
look at a situation - In our case we have over 800 buying feedback and over 2000
selling feedbacks.

| Have suggested this direct to Bricklink development and whilst the response has
been positive so far we are still waiting for either a confirmation that it will
become available (and when) or a reason why it cannot be done.
We have had good feedback from several of the UK's stores and wonder what
others around the globe feel.
This should give us the ability to deal with our inventories on a more accurate
basis and , if there are any gremlins in Bricklink's system, point them out.
Thoughts?

| Thought I would try this one more time. Currently if you use the price guide
to look at the value of parting out a set you get a figure for its value and
how many new lots will get added to your inventory.
We would like to see a simple little screen or report based result of the work
that Bricklink has done as far as determining which lots are the new one. This
helps us enormously in determining how we approach parting out.
Secondly and equally as important to us is the need to be able to follow the
value of the sets as they are parted out over time. So when the set was launched
it had a higher part out value than 6 months later, in some cases there are also
times when the set is much more valuable later on. This would help us as a store
to determine how long before we part out various sets that we have stock of.
At the moment we have a very crude offline system which gives us the result of
parting out at the date when we did it. Bricklink has all this data in its database
- surely we should be able to get at it as a valuable tool for the stores.
Remember without stores there would be no Bricklink !!! (I know the same applies
to buyers)

|
| For some time now we have had considerable difficulty in reconciling the fees
statement to our accounts system. The fees are always paid - there is no problem
there, but the fact that it is a summary rather than detail and the conversion
rates may or may not be different it makes it a job rather than just a quick
check.
We would like to see each store given the option to receive either the summary
or a detailed breakdown. The detailed breakdown should include each order the
store is being charged for the date and value of that order and the calculated
fee + currency conversion rate.
Those of us who do not deal in dollars would like that information available.
Those who don't require it can remain with the summary.
If the fees program is within the code for Bricklink, this should not be a complicated
change as it has all the info already. If it is in another system that would
have to be looked at but even today's most simple billing programs allow
for this type of information to be presented.

| Would like to suggest several improvements to the messaging system that Bricklink
uses.
1. Enable HTML Mail (rather than just plain text)
2. Allow attachments
3. Provide forward capability
4. Allow CC or BCC addressees
5. Provide default set up so we can have messages of all kinds sent to store
email address, rather than having to mark each individual message to be sent
to our e-mail address.
All of the above are capable within SQL mail but if they are difficult to implement,
consider changing the system - Mail/Messaging is a very valuable tool and in
today's business world we need to have a first class system. The current
system is very old, in many circumstances, not totally reliable and very restrictive.
It is time for change.
I am sure there are other capabilities that people want to see - feel free to
add them if you think this is a suggestion that should be carried forward.

| Currently what you see is a summary of feedbacks received over weekly, monthly
and yearly columns as well as a breakdown of 'selling' and 'buying'.
We would like to see two additional columns added one for the number of purchase
orders and one for the number of sales orders.
This would allow an approximate percentage to be calculated for how high or low
the feedbacks to orders relationship is. We have guessed that it is somewhere
around the 60% figure over all - in other words you will get or give feedback
on 60% of your orders be they placed or received.
You can do this manually by going to the store and looking at the banner for
number of orders - but that is only for sales and it means changing between screens.
This would be a welcome and simple improvement to the summary page, which we
use all the time.

| We would like to suggest some changes to the orders pages, both printing and
downloading.
1. The current order printouts are taking up a lot of paper (and toner etc).
If I download the order into Brickstock for example I can reduce the number of
pages by 40 to 50% but I cannot get same sort order. Brickstock is severely limited
on its sorting capabilities at the moment. We have asked Patrick Brans to look
at this as a matter of urgency, but he seems to be quite tied up with his normal
job at present.
2. If we download the order from Bricklink to a spreadsheet file we lose the
images and the quantity remaining - and both of those fields are used in the
picking process - we do not want to lose them. We have tried all the different
download formats and none of them provide or bring either of the fie4lds with
them.
So the suggestions are:
1. Improve the order printing process and allow more flexibility in where we
place the columns etc. This can be done as Allan Smith has produced a great order
template for Brickstock which is how we have been able to reduce the number of
pages per order - we still get everything we had with the Bricklink Order printout
(Except quantity remaining)and it all fits on one A4 Portrait page much better
that the existing printout from Bricklink.
2. Give us a way to incorporate the image and quantity remaining fields and data
in the download capabilities.
Either of these 'solutions' will solve the problem, save money and time
on the printing side and be a significant improvement to the current process.
We are aware that some stores do not print their orders at all any more - they
simply work from a tablet or computer screen - but in our case this isn't
really possible - we need that picking list as our storage and distribution centre
is not in the same location as the rest of the order processing.
Neither of the above suggestions would take a great deal of coding changes and
we see them as an excellent improvement to the site.

| It would be very nice if we could actually filter this page. Things like lets
only see the feedback from a specific country or lets see the feedback as a buyer.
This would be helpful as it doesn't appear possible any other way at present.
We have had some new customers who have come from countries where we don't
normally receive orders and the customers are showing lower feedback than we
are comfortable with for fairly large orders.
Would be nice to see if anyone else, for example, in the UK has served these
customers, without having to scroll through the feedback until you either recognise
a store or look up each store.
The same also applies to buyers.

of us who keep records outside of Bricklink have to spend a great deal of time
recording the values set for each of the elements of a set - this is both time
