I am always amazed at the large number of minifigures Lego has or had released.
There is Penny from The Big Bang Theory (wish I knew her last name),Nesquick
Bunny,lots and lots of Star Wars, and so many more. But there is holes that
they have complete missed. The ones I would buy are: any Barbie figures, Mr
Clean, Betty Page, Randle McMurphy, Norman Bates, Inspector Clouseau, HAL, V,
any Star Trek, ET, Sarah Connor, Terminator T-800, Katniss Everdeen, Keyser Söze,
Ferris Bueller, The Man With No Name, Forrest Gump, Ron Burgundy, Ellen Ripley,
James Bond, Ariel, Ghostface, and others. Lego should really consider these.

When accessing the colour guide [https://www.bricklink.com/catalogColors.asp]
and clicking on parts for a certain colour [this one is for coral {https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=P&colorPart=220}],
shouldn't the images at least be the right colour? Currently (at the previous
link), it just shows the default image colour but I think it should show in the
coral coloured image.

Thoughts?

At the page https://www.bricklink.com/catalogStatsSold.asp?orderNew=U&itemType=P
I find the statistics here to be very helpful. I feel a way to improve the feature
dramatically would be to add a drop-down menu to select part catagory and color.
So you could select lime and see the top 100 sold lime parts, select plate, modified
and see the most sold plate, modified parts, or select both plate, modified as
well as lime and see the most sold lime plate, modified parts.

Inventory sorting prompt has a selection for Sort items by: "Item No, Color Name"
and since you only see "Item No" in reference to "Set ID" when you click "Edit
More" link, change either the "Set ID" to "Item No" or vice-versa, to be consistent.

Hello,

I just had a seller messaging me about why for over a week I didn't approve
their quantity change as a bunch of pieces were missing.

- I had visited my profile every day but had no notification of some sort showing
me that a request for me to take action was pending, I red dot next to a link
to that quantity change approval page in the column orders would have been enough
for me to notice something was waiting for me to do something
- I had no message from seller, which is not a technical issue but in my opinion
a mistake from the seller
- I had no alert of some kind on the order page itself, there was no red box
on top of the page with a blinking arrow next to it, telling you to click somewhere
if you wanted to go to another change quantity request page
- The status of the order had not changed, it was just saying "pending", the
same status it has after you place an order with request for invoice, I was expecting
it would have a status of some sort, like "awating buyer quantity change approval"

I however had a mail from bricklink bot (in my spam obviously) telling me about
this pending piece change approval

So then I went to the page to approve the change, but there I had a weird table
not clearly stating what the quantity was that I had ordered and what the actual
quantity change request was, it showed one number but I still don't really
know if this was how much pieces I would get or how much pieces were actually
missing, so I just blindly accepted everything and guess I will need to wait
for the order to arrive to know for sure what I will get

Don't get me wrong, I love bricklink, I mean I placed +-200 successfull orders
the last 4-5 years (and got only scammed once where I paid 200 euro by IBAN and
never got anything), so it is not that I write you all this because I'm raging
behind my desk and swearing at the bricklink admins or product managers
I'm a developer myself and I know how much work it is to build something
like bricklink, so I understand why things are how they are, but still I thought
it was worth mentioning those things that in my oponion can be improved, just
in case they are not already on a todo list

Submitted for your consideration:
I would like to see an option for my wanted lists so that I can set my wanted
lists to show 100 per page instead of going in and changing all of them as I
use them. Also I would like to see the wanted lists would by default list the
parts alphabetically no matter what item per page setting that I use.
Thanks for listening, Rich

To avoid issues such as what we mentioned yesterday why not get Bricklink to
add to the stores terms page a variant policy statement from the store. I am
sure we will see everything from no policy to a complete novel, but at least
it is something that can be looked at by potential buyers and it may even add
clarity to the current situation.

We very strongly believe this is a stores responsibility and not the buyers.
A buyer should have confidence in the fact they are getting what they ordered.
or a notice from the store to alert them they aren't.

Of course mistake can and will happen but if a policy statement is at least on
the mind of the store maybe it will help them to focus

I do agree that buyers, if concerned could ask for details but of 6 stores who
were asked none replied is not a good result.

My suggestion is to add a checkbox to the Store Filters where you can select
stores that are VAT enabled.

Reason being that if you buy as a business you can reclaim the VAT, which obviously
doesn't fly for purchases from private sellers.

So essentially this would allow businesses to find other businesses more easily,
save on their cost price, and increase their liquidity. Finally, this results
in more investment, more Bricklink transactions and potentially lower sale prices
to their customers, because they don't have to compensate the 21% difference
(in case of Dutch VAT) in purchase cost.

I could go into more detail with example calculations of course, if required.

It would be really nice if you could just type "lbg" or "dbg" instead of "light
bluish gray" or "dark bluish gray". Saves a lot of typing time ...

Aren't there any shortcuts for colors??

After updating the Wanted quantity of a part through the wanted list modal on
a set inventory for example, I had the negative surprise of finding out the Have
quantity had been reset to 0.

Reproduction steps:
- Add a part to a wanted list, set the Have quantity to 1.
- On an inventory featuring the same part in the same color, click on the Add
to Wanted list heart-shaped link.
- In the modal, select the wanted list, the existing Wanted quantity shows.
- Change the Wanted quantity, click on the Update button.
- Go back to Wanted List.
- The Have quantity for this part is now 0.
