| Currently the wanted list "SORT BY" defaults to "Newest."
Could there be a way to remember the last choice?
Or change the default setting for the user?
I prefer to see it in alphabetical order, because it makes it faster to find
what I'm looking for. Currently I have to change it every time, and wait
for the page to reload.
Thanks!

| I expect you have heard about the inaccuracies of part lists before.
Since bricklink is now part of Lego, perhaps the bricklink part lists for sets
cold be compared with the Lego lists and corrected as necessary. I expect most
of this could be done with a computer program although it would be nice if one
could get accurate part lists for all those really old sets that one can find
in a friend's great grandfather's attic.
Thank you.

| There is an app online called "Set Finder" (http://www.spoofdata.com/setfinder/?id1=6144805)
which allows the user to enter the part number for several parts then the app
will suggest sets that contain those parts. It is not very user friendly and
part numbers are difficult to determine. The part numbers need to be complete
with colour code (sensible for logically reducing the number of possible sets)
but the numbering systems are not very well explained. In addition there are
different numbers for similar parts e.g. "2 x 4 Brick Red" has at least two different
numbers. I think there is an overlap between parts in older sets that have a
different number than newer sets but it can be quite frustrating.
Perhaps this is a function in bricklink which I have not yet discovered. I rarely
Use "Part Out" so perhaps it is there or if not perhaps that would be a good
place to add the "Set Finder " function.
Thank you.

| Hi,
According to BL's TOS you must be of legal age or 18 at least to register.
That is completely understandable from the buying/selling point of view.
But what about a junior account without the privileges to buy or sell?
Kids could browse the catalog, make wanted lists - maybe "publish" them or somehow
share them with "proper" users (e.g. parents) and get used to the platform.
This would lead younger users to BL without being "illegal" and without the chance
to make "bogus" orders or other interference with the "business" on this site.
Just an idea as my daughter is building a lot of stuff in Studio and would like
to create her own wanted lists in BL and is generally interested in this site.

| Hi,
today I received payment for two orders in "ready" status. So I went packing
them and after that I drove them to the post office right away. Upon my return
I wanted to set these orders directly to shipped. - Not possible - had to set
them to packed first, save, and then to shipped and save again. Just a minor
issue compared to other ones already mentioned but still annoying.
The orders would have been in "packed" for less than 15 minutes. Why make this
mandantory?

| To save the almost constant threads that come up in the forum for things like
dealing with shipping to , as well as sales history as well as .... Please add
a new topic to the forum for Knowledgebase items.
That way Brickwilbo and others can refer people to the knowledgebase area for
their answers - it will save a lot of time and effort on everyone's part.

|
| Do not restrict the ability to send invoices in any order status. The statuses
were implemented for seller convenience and different sellers use different processes.
Further, there are times when I want to send multiple invoices, for example if
the buyer wants to change shipping type. I shouldn't have to fiddle with
the order status repeatedly to get to where I can send an invoice.
This is a recent change, please undo it.

| If it's feasible, it'd be nice to be able to organize your want lists
into custom categories. For example, I'd like to be able to have categories
for MOCs, Restoration, and so on. That way I could quickly find lists without
having to change the order or toggle categories to hide them what I don't
immediately need.

|
| I have no idea if this is something that is doable... (I mean, on this site,
I am sure it CAN be done) but a lot of people who buy large collections often
are faced with an issue of finding a partially built set they cannot identify.
To that end, it would be amazing if there was a search available where you could
pick say, 10 or more pieces (would likely pick the least common pieces you
see on it) and enter those and have the results display only the sets that contain
all of those pieces.
Right now, I am sitting on a large number of partial sets and while some are
much easier than others to identify, others are just impossible.
This would be a massive help!

|
| Personally I don’t think we should lose the term minifigure because it’s very
key to how we and Lego describe the majority of their figures and at the moment
there are talks about Minfigs category being changed to ‘Figure’ and possibly
including everything from Lotso Bear to Baby Groot
I did discuss a solution here:-
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1192727
but I think it may have become a bit lost in the rest of the debate but I would
be interested in others thoughts on this or whether the term minifigure is even
still important or what minifigure should refer to going forward?
Here is my original suggestion:-
“On the subject of categorizing figures in general I think breaking down some
of this stuff might make more sense than renaming Minifigs to Figures and then
piling everything into the same place.
It’s a difficult one but I guess you have to start with defining a minifigure
and at the moment I can only think of two ways of doing this where by you define
it by Size after all a clue is in the word MINIfigure which does unfortunately
leave a lot of ambiguity or better still you define minifig by the fact it usesa
Torso Assembly?
Torso Assembly may be a good clear cut way of defining a minifig because almost
all traditional minifigs from a Dementor to a Lord Garmadon use the all-important
standard Torso design that holds a minifig together and its probably the one
key part that really defines what a minifigure looks like when we think of a
minifigure and with that in mind you could categorise as Follows:-
Minifigure – Anything that uses the Standard Torso Assembly design
Modified Figure – Anything from droids, to brick built Droids, to Skeletons and
stuff like Gollum, Slimer, Unikitty, Scurrier, Scooby etc..
Microfigure – Anything very small consisting of a single or maximum of two parts
such as Baby, Baby Yoda, Palpatine Hologram, Baby Groot, Trophy figures and all
those game figures etc..
You are then left with things like Cave Troll, Big Hulk etc. which can either
go under ‘Modified Figure’ or a separate ‘Large Figure’ Category?
Likewise are animals/creatures separated so that Polar bears, Wargs and Horses
go under ‘Modified Figure’ and stuff like baby dinos, spiders and snakes under
‘Microfigure’ or do they have their own ‘Animal category’?
Lots to think about....”
