| Had a rude wake up call today.
As of July 1st this year and later on from September 1st buying from the UK has
become increasingly expensive for EU buyers.
The treshold of 22 euro has been abandoned from July 1st. Every sale will be
taxed, even if it is below this treshold (there is no treshold....).
Taxes are to paid on the invoice of the seller and by the customs dept in Holland;
so the purchase is double taxed (2 x 21%!). And I have no possibility to reclaim
it.
Plus there is 4 euro fee for handling if it is less than 150 euro value of the
shipment (10 euro if it is above...).
A 27 GBP (32 euro) order (included was shipping for 5.75 GBP, taxes for 4.82
GBP (21%)) became 10 euro more expensive because of this.
I know, I am free to buy or not to buy these parts in the UK. Unfortunately the
UK seller(s) are the only one in Europe with these parts....
But if this is the result of Brexit, I will end buying from my UK Lego-friends.
Too bad it turned out this way.
So long my UK-friends.....

| @all here at BrickLink,
Dan remains a true icon for me. What his vision encompassed and what was beyond
that, we will never know. He was not given the time to realize his dreams
Happy reminders go back to my early days here at BL, now 13 years ago. Dan popped
in now and then in discussions and forum threads about the database and more
silly stuff. Soon after it went quiet....
I never met him, but his spirit is still here.
Let's keep that spirit alive, in honour of Dan!
Keep building, keep connecting, keep helping!
Cheers

| Why are sets limited in volume per region?
Europeans can not pre-order sets like the shipping vessel that is amazing!
Is this the new way Lego provides sets to all?
I hope the digital instructions will be downloadable in 2022 .

| In the past few days many posts about moving items in the catalog came along.
Apparently we moved a few months ahead in time (see picture).

| When changes like flesh2nougat are made, what are the effects on the usage of
BrickStock for uploading, parting etc?
Any thoughts?

| Sales are nice thing, right? Scoring a bulk load of 1x1 plates you so desperately
need for a long overdue project helps you move on!
When 70% of the sales announcements concern shops that do NOT ship to you, the
nice efforts turn into an ever growing deception....
So here's my suggestion: have a SALE announcement link to the shipping terms
of the store so there will be ONLY announcement visible that actually DO ship
to your country.
Ever working on a more pleasant environment.

| In your own store inventory, you can search for parts of a specific set. See
attached picture.
In the buying area of a store, this is not possible.
The functionality is there, please add it to the buying area.

| In replying to forum posts, the standard system setting is to quote the post
you are replying to. This generates LARGE texts that one has to scroll through
to get the additional post made by the poster.
Please set this standard to OFF:
- makes the forumposts cleaner
- readingspeed increases
- mouses/PGDWN-keys will last longer due to less scrolling
- less data storage needed on servers
(has been requested two times before, no follow-up unfortunately)

| (probably multiple times suggested before....)
Overhaul of the NSS/NRS system required.
Regarding recent posts of blocked shops due to a cummulation of three (!) NSS's
over the last few years (!!), this system needs an overhaul.
1) NSS / NSR are in effect NO longer than a fixed time; for instance 6 months
2) users can ALWAYS review their scores on ALL the codes (NSS/NRS/NPB/OCR/etc....)
availabe for classifying orders (the data must be in the database.
Short post, needs more work, I know. Please add when wanted....... or when you
miss stuff.
If there IS a way to check your scores, please post it here AND (@ADMIN/@TECHSTAFF),
add it to the MyBrickLink page PLEASE.
Cheers
