Hello. This is my first post. Be patient with me.

I would like to be able to mark a set as in my inventory. I would like to mark
individual bricks as in my inventory. I would like to go to a random set and
then this site lets me know if I have enough pieces in my inventory to build
that set.

(this is implemented on Peeron but not here, from what I can see)

Thank you.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think what you are describing is closer
to the functionality of rebrickable.

Brickset is closer to what the OP wants if I'm not mistaken, although Rebrickable
does offer some of the reuired features I don't think it enables you to store
your sets like Brickset (I most definitely could be wrong though).

I don't think anyone would want Brickset though, it's a site with tons
of advertisements and content taking only the 20/30% of the screen space... One
of the rare web sites that have ridiculous video ads too...

Right, There was a post made about this very specific situation from Russell:

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1253276

I would reach out and see if any determination on this has been made.

The day lego starts selling here, competing with sellers that pay fees to sell
here, is the day brickowl gets a sudden increase in seller numbers.

I think it's not a core business for Lego. Otherwhise you wouldn't expect
to wait at least 5-6 week (or more) to get your order from Lego (if you order
from the new bricks and pieces). Even if they would open a Lego BL B&P shop,
they have to speed up their game. Order within the Netherlands I receive within
a couple of days. If Lego does this centralized in Poland, it still takes a week
to reach me (and that's only shipping time). So this means they have to extend
their capacity a lot and people are very expensive, so I don't thing they
want to get more order, then they now allready get. I think it's for Lego
an extra service with which they earn little. For little orders with a lot of
different pieces, sets, minifigs, gear, instructions, etc they have Bricklink!

Kind regards,

José

Perhaps a logistical thing. They still get money every time a person buys a (new)
set for resale so they probably figure they wouldn't make much money from
it after it all said and done compared to just selling the sets to resellers
plus maybe they know people like places like Bricklink which have parts from
all eras which promotes the lego brand non-stop which also leads to more sales.
Just a guess tho

Yah... No...
Bricklink is different from lego bricks and pieces if lego flooded bricklink
with its on service it would be very bad for sellers

I honestly wonder why TLG doesn't do this to begin with. Is there some sort
of logistical challenge associated with selling individual parts as compared
to sets? I know that this isn't TLG's main business model, but if BrickLink
is any indicator, there is a strong demand for parts.

I'm sorry to say that the user experience on Bricklink is terrible. I'd
thought that the acquisition by The Lego Group would bring investment to improve
usability, but nothing has happened. It's immensely disappointing.

1. The search function seems to be geared around buying pieces, not simply searching
the database. Why does it bring up items for sale by default? Why does it order
search results in such a strange way by default?
2. Features for managing parts lists are poor. There's no ability to merge
lists that have parts in common (BL just complains that the parts already exist).
Indeed, it's not even possible to use the 'upload' function to upload
an xml file that has previously been downloaded from Bricklink. Despite that,
it is possible to use an xml file to create a new wanted list. This is obviously
completely unintuitive.
3. It's still not possible to order Bricks and Pieces from Bricklink. This
is such an obvious thing to do that it shouldn't need to be said.

It is definitely possible to order bricks and pieces from BrickLink, just go
to just about any store…

TLG may own BL, but they are still separate companies with separate staff, websites,
etc. When you buy parts on BrickLink, you are buying them from independent sellers
generally not affiliated with TLG, whereas when you buy parts on LEGO.com you
are getting them directly from TLG. Besides, didn't TLG get rid of Bricks
& Pieces? When I go to LEGO.com I see only Pick-A-Brick now.

4. Orders seem to be deleted from the order list after only a few months. Why
is this necessary?
5. It is not possible to automatically mark pieces as bought when they have been
ordered.

I find it ridiculous that my store gets closed if I want to have something shipped

Amazon, eBay, etc all have the option to change a shipping address.

Please implement this!

But you are aware that the seller loses his seller protection if the payment
is made via Paypal and the shipping address does not match the Paypal address?
With Stripe it should be the same.

Hi all,

Is it possible to add a sort option on seller in the Items For Sale tab on the
parts page?
At this point of time each color is seperately shown as intended.

As I am often looking for more colors of the same part it is convenient if I
can sort on seller. So I can easily see if a certain seller has more than one
color available.

Regards,
Dennis

If this became an option, then user names and/or store names would become things
like "AAAAAAAA Bricks" or "A1 Bricks" as sellers manipulate names to appear higher
in the list.

Display part notes when shopping wanted list

[Yes|No]

I was rather disappointed when on a recent order I received a number of broken,
heavily damaged, and heavily discoloured parts, and was even more surprised when
the order showed that those parts were listed as such. Somehow I had purchased
a number of parts that I am quite literally going to throw straight in the bin.
I suspect I am not the first person this has happened to, and that I won't
be the last.

As far as I can tell, this happened because there is no visibility of the part
notes when shopping a wanted list. In my case, I shopped my wanted list with
~300 parts, and used the auto-select option. The store selection - both in the
confirm and edit views - doesn't show the part notes. To make matters worse,
the auto-select option will favour damaged parts because they are cheaper.

I then created the carts. When viewing the carts, notes are visible, but this
stage is too late to find out about bad parts, because rejecting them here means
having to re-select these from elsewhere. In other words, going back to store
selection, and potentially having to exclude stores or set a desired "new" condition
on those parts. It becomes a very manual process, and I probably don't want
new parts as they will stand out in a second hand set. Note also that the notes
are not highlighted in the cart view - the dimmer grey colour means its easy
to gloss over those.

It would be great if part notes where shown in the "confirm selection" and "edit
selection" modals when shopping a wanted list.

While we're at it, it would be great if there was a "damaged" part state,
to go with "new" and "used", as I definitely do not want damaged parts. Or perhaps
a grading?

I woud like to see the last known sellingprice for an item, no matter how long

Now we can only see the sales from last 6 months and the items for sale.

But sometimes an item is no longer for sale and it has been more than 6 months
since a sale, I would still like to know what it was sold for.
Why? For my insurrance policy...

Is it an good idea to change it to what I suggest? How do I make it happen??

Obviously the price guide is just a guide anyway, but there is the downside that
something that sold for example seven years ago will have changed in value. The
idea of the price guide is that it is current. Under your plan if a part sold
765 days ago for $60 and a broken one sold for $10 760 days ago, then only the
last price would show. Whereas if they both sold within six months then both
would show in the price guide indicating one was likely defective.

Keeping single out of date data points is not necessarily better than no current
data. Perhaps keeping the last 10 sales if older than six months and the number
of current points us less than 10 is better.

Always retaining the last 10 sales has been discussed in the past. I thought
that had already voted YES PLEASE on that one, but I don't see it so I guess
that it was discussed only...

So yes, I would like to see the last 10 sales if there were few sales in the
last 6 months.

Sorting is way faster when you're searching something different.

Imagine you're searching for a Black small part in a stack of Black parts
on your table.
It'll be long, tedious and subject to errors.

Now if you're searching for the same part in between many different colors,
it'll be different and way faster.
And if it's the only Black part, then there couldn't be any possible
error.

Of course - but in both cases - assuming your inventory is correct.

In short, searching 1 Torso in between a drawer of 50 different bags of torsos
is like the above solution.

At the contrary, if it's the only bag of Torsos in a drawer with bags of
different parts, you don't have to think at search; your visual search is
optimal, and you read the sticker just to be sure, you don't have to search
using the stickers (reading is long and subject to errors).

Conclusion: I don't sort by Color neither by Category; it's way better.

And it may be an error to think this is stupid

Sylvain

Not sure if I see the analogy with colour, but on the topic of colour: I've
noticed that most of my many-lot orders have the same part in multiple colours,
so I get them all out of the same bag. (And there's no need to waste time
searching, either, because the bags are transparent and none are so big that
you can't see the part you need) - just one out of many advantages of category
based sorting.

Well, I'm exaggerating saying it's 'stupid', I know it's
not

As clearly many sellers are doing it, so clearly it works for many people.
It's just something I don't understand well, because I haven't learned
how to do it, because I don't have any problems that it could solve. I don't
understand how the remarks get there in the first place (in a way that doesn't
require lots of extra manual labour), or how it works when a lot grows bigger
so you need a different location for it, or what the chronology of the workflow
is when you add parts while some already have locations and some don't. Probably
interesting to watch a video on how it works sometime, but as I said I don't
have any problems - I can stock parts immediately and pick the immediately -
so there isn't really much I could gain from that method even if it was perfect
and remarks were all automatic.

One exception though is minifig parts, your torso example is a good one. I've
got those sorted on minifigure series number, or year, as it would be too
much in one category otherwise. So I am kind of using remarks there. But it's
extra work that's only really worth it for problematic categories like those.

Besides the existence of such lists, there are also topics about it in the forum.
As with all important things, the forum is far from an ideal place for communication,
but at least it's something. Oh, there's actually also the catalog newsletter,
which I hope will continue to be a thing.

I agree this is tricky, and that's why the catmins have been doing the more
drastic changes in batches with a notification about it in the forum at least
1 month ahead of the move. Especially if you have to move not just parts but
entire bins/furniture that's very useful.
(However, last time the admin team came in and decided to use that month to think
about whether or not to approve the proposed changes, which of course ruins the
preparation month completely. Hopefully they won't do that again!)

No, it’s not “made by users after the fact.”

That list is automatically compiled from the changes that were accepted:

That's a list made by users after the fact. I would like a list made by
the people who do the moving.

A website issue has been that sometimes a Category page opens with 20 items or
50 items and also it doesn't remember to stay with Thumbnail gallery.

Would you write a Cookie or Setting that remembers the preference?

Thanks,
Joshua

At some point, the site opened a pop-up asking you what your cookie preferences
were. If you don't accept all, lots of weird things happen.

There's a bunch of info on the cookies on the footer for the site:

Hope that helps!

I also sort my store by Category. It's convenient and makes sense to me.
You have to do a bit of homework to keep it up to date:

1) You can check the Change Log on any part you are having trouble with. It's
on the bottom right-hand corner of any catalog item page. If you can't find
a part in an order right away, check there first! It saves a bunch of time.

2) You can keep on eye on Category changes by looking on the main Market page,
What's New, Changes to Items. Search for Item Category Change.

3) Lists were made for major catalog changes. You can see them in the Help pages
under Catalog: 'Movements in Item Type and Category.'

So, they do tell you and they did make a list. It just takes a bit of work/knowledge
to find it.

Good luck,
Jen

As you clean up the sight, things get renamed or re-categorized on the site,
but I'm not notified and can move the parts in my physical inventory boxes
accordingly.

Oh Gosh

While that still could be a problem, the idea is DO NOT use Categories to organize
your Shop Inventory.

At least use the Remarks field - and BrickStore

(some may start to think I've Stock Options there...)

You can put drawer 12 : "#DR12" in Remark for example.
It won't change (unless you change it).

Save the planet Joshua - use BrickStore, free and open-source, work offline (it
caches everything smartly) and you'll save your precious time and zillions
of web pages bytes.

Same note regarding your previous Suggestion: you can manage it offline FAR easier.

IMHO.

Delete feedback of people when they are removed.

Voted No of course: you may encounter a (few) bad buying experience(s), then
later on having problems and your priviledges being revoked for whatever reason.

This doesn't mean the previous bad experiences should be erased.

These quick-links are very helpful in reducing the number of page loads when
adding items to your inventory or wanted list. It would be nice to bypass the
Part page and get strait to the good stuff.
