Please, please, please give us an option to select a default "Sort By" in the

My preference is "Alphabetical" and I note others have asked for this before.
The reverting to "Newest" every time you leave and return to the page is really
tiresome.
For such a useful and clever website I can't believe this is not a do-able
thing.
Does anybody read these ?

You can sort of do it...
Open your Wanted List.
Change the sort order.
Hit the Edit button (in the group of buttons next to search bar).
Then hit the Save button.

Note: this will change the sort order for all your Wanted Lists.

hi i came to this looking up this item :

93549pb02 Minifigure, Utensil Bottle, Erlenmeyer Flask with Molded Trans-Purple Fluid Pattern
Parts: Minifigure, Utensil, Decorated

and i wanted to know if i could use it in a mock...
yet to my surprises there is no note to how tall or wide this thing is in plate
or bricks etc ....

It’s 5 plates high and almost a brick (= 3 plates) wide (so more than a stud
= 2.5 plates).

it nicely says the actual size but that means nothing to me in my brick maths....

It’s packing dimensions, it’s useful for packing (the height includes the stud…
and a bit more).

Every part doesn’t have a dimension in studs.

And, generally, the complaints are about the stud dimensions:
— the third one is in bricks (so a 1x1 brick is 1x1x1, not 1x1x1.2),
— a DUPLO 2x4 brick and a LEGO 2x4 brick have the same dimensions: 2x4x1.

it would be handy if such items would be expressed in ex : cylinder 1x1x2??

now im stuck guessing before i have it in hand...

i know its a pain to ad this after the fact but it would be handy to have this
info before i buy...

dont know if there are many of these items honestly its the first time im wondering
this after using brick link for years...

sorry if this subject already came up

Hint:

1 stud is approximately 5/16 inches (7.9375 mm)
1 plate is approximately 1/8 inches (3.175 mm)
1 brick is exactly 3 plates

Most parts on BrickLink are expressed in units of both inches/millimetres and
plates/studs. For example:

87926 Cylinder Half 3 x 6 x 6 with 1 x 2 Cutout
Parts: Cylinder {Dark Purple}

However, since this particular part is a minifigure utensil/accessory, it may
not have standard plate/stud dimensions. It appears to be about 2 bricks tall
and a little bit more than 1 stud in diameter. However, the only way to find
out for sure is to buy a couple, or ask someone who owns some if they can provide
more accurate dimensions.

Please please separate buyer and seller addresses on a hybrid account.

Keep one main address set fixed on the account, but let sellers have the option

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

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.

Don't think this is true. You lose seller protection if you ship the order
to a different address than given to you in the transaction details.

I have a paypal account and many times have stuff shipped to my work address,
it is simply possible, and the seller doesnt lose seller protection.

The problem with statements like yours is that people take it for truth and then
vote against the suggestion.

It is still a problem that buyer and seller accounts are linked and my store
closes if I want to have something delivered to a different address.

It really is fecking madness. There is no other word for it. In fact, sellers
have missed out on sales, because of this limitation. Because I simply bought
the set elsewhere.

If you don't have a clue, you should shut up.
I don't know how Amazon does it, because I don't use it. As far as I
know they don't accept paypal.
If you buy something on Ebay, you can change the shipping address. However, only
on Ebay and not on Paypal. This dates back to when paypal was part of Ebay. Apparently
this rule was kept when Paypal was sold.
I don't really care what you do, but any seller should be warned if they
ship to an address other than the one on file with Paypal.

Hello there.

I'd be shocked if this hasn't been requested. But why can't we have
a default setting for Items for Sale and set the seller location.

I'm not interested in "anywhere" and every time change this to my local region
australia. It's never not annoying to do this every time.

It already exists in the settings:
https://www.bricklink.com/priceGuideSettings.asp?viewFrom=P

That's only for the price guide, not for when you are searching for or raking
prices on an items page.

I think the question is why isn't there an option to set the default seller
location on item pages (for example, this one https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3001
) to be the buyer's country.

It has been asked for multiple times in the past but ignored.

We’ve (my kids and I) have donated quite a few Lego items over the years, and

to give-away Lego, I’m compelled to use the contest mechanism in the forum, as
they’re is no other relative topics to just give away Lego.

Expand your thinking on this: It would not generate income for the site directly
(in fact can be viewed as pulling potential sellable inventory off the market)
but I think indirectly, the site revenue would increase.

In any case, wouldn’t it be fun? Add more excitement to the community? As well
as show the other relative sites, that we are more than about the $

In my opinion the only one that knows if an order is 100% completed is the Buyer,
not the Seller. Only the buyer can change status to received, but both buyer
and seller can change status to completed.

Status Received:
Package has been received but the buyer has not yet verified the contents on
the package.

As a buyer I Always use this, until I verified the contents, which can take a
while, depending on how many orders I receive at once, how big the orders are
and if I can find time to check.

I like it to have this great reminder to do so:
... Orders received, change status when completed

Now I experienced several times, that the seller changed status to completed.
Which is not correct, because I still didn't check the order yet. Besides
I now lost my reminder which tells me I still have to verify this order and leave
feedback.

As a seller I understand that it's nice to know when an order is completed
and that buyer's do change order status, but it's not up to the seller
to decide if an order is received and 100% correct.

My Suggestion:

Only allow the Buyer to change status to Completed.

Diana

Late to the party but had a seller do this to me when I had a large number of
orders with various statuses. Seems status cannot be changed after a certain
period of time so by that logic a seller could set an order to completed and
if you do not realise and change it back in time it could get locked like that
despite never being received. Thankfully I was able to identify and change the
status back to shipped after reviewing a bunch of orders.

I use the statuses to mark off orders received and know which I am still waiting
for to arrive. Definitely if after a reasonable amount of time a buyer has not
updated the status but has not indicated the order was not received then the
status should automatically be set to completed and/or allow the seller to do
so. At the very least a seller should not be allowed to set it to completed after
1 day of marking it as shipped for an international order over a weekend! This
is what happened to me and it really annoyed me to the point I left neutral feedback
(was debating leaving negative as it was seemingly marked completed on a Sunday
after being shipped on the Saturday).

Just to add, it was a relatively expensive order too and has shaken my trust
in the seller and BrickLink processes in general.

Why not streamline it like on Amazon? Make it automatic, but visible in the

Make it CLEAR, BIG and AUTOMATIC, yes.

80% of my Coupons simply expire.

I personnaly lost 100€ or more in Coupons from others I never used for this reason.
It's stupid coupons are at the last page, small, and inactive by default.

It should be on top right:

Shipping: 5€
Coupon: -2€

There should be a way to change this, or pick another coupon of course.

I know there are global search settings, but they're only a few. I'm
in Germany and usually want to find parts from sellers in Germany, because of
shipping time and shipping costs.
So, by now, I have to activate "Ships from: Germany" every time I do a search.
Every time!

That is so annoying. My suggestion is: either make this a global search setting
or store my last settings in a cookie so that I don't have to select this
every time.
Thank you!

Hi everybody,

When adding parts manually from my Inventory (no part out), I used to adjust
quantity and pricing by quickly checking the Price Guide.

When I say quick, I mean I just clicked on the "Price" link and a pop up window
opened instantly, showing the Price Guide for that part. Then I closed the window
and adjusted my price. This was a 2 seconds procedure. I used that procedure
for several colors of the same part without leaving the page. Then I submitted
all these changes in one go. Nice and fast!

Today, for an unknown reason, the same link leads to another page showing the
complete Price Guide with all items for sale. This takes a loooong time to load.
For the most common parts, it can take up to 20 seconds to load!!! Yes, I might
have an old computer. But still.
Then, I have to come back to the previous Inventory page, which can take time
to load and at the top of the said page. Then I have to scroll down to find and
adjust the right color entry. That's for one color. If I have five entries
of the same part in various colors to adjust, I must repeat that process accordingly.

This is really time consuming (x10 at least), annoying, frustrating and painful.
I know there are other ways to adjust prices, but that's the way I used to
work for years and it was so easy. I can't think of any quicker way.

Please, just bring back the small pop up window... Please?

Thaks for reading my rant.

Hi Jen,

My question/issue is how to tell if a stickered part had been submitted to be
added to the set inventory as a counterpart - not as a new entry in the catalog.
Every few months I go through those parts that people have added but then neglected
to add those parts to their respective sets. Basically get them out of no mans
land.

So, in the past I added a whole bunch to one of the mobile technic cranes, must've
been about 2 dozen. All were not in the counterpart section of the set. But
someone had beat me to it but there was no way to tell that until I hit submit.
And unfortunately it doesn't flag every part that has already been submitted.
It's one at a time. So you have to delete it, resubmit. Then repeat for
all submitted parts. I think I spent over an hour on that one set - if I recall
it had identical stickers on different parts so I had to go through the instructions
page by page trying to find the correct quantity of each stickered part. It
was tedious but eventually all for naught.

The link Paul supplied will definitely help in the future.

Bill

Ah, makes sense. It's really nice of you to do that. I've also added
orphaned parts occasionally if they have been laying around for a month or two.
'Fill in missing information' is a good place to waste an hour or two
if anyone is bored.

I spend so much time on the Approval Pending Overview that I take it for granted.
I don't do much of any catalog work without checking there first. I wish
they would fix the navigation tools there. It's a mess.

Maybe I am misunderstanding you, but when you submit a part with a number already
in use, you get a ready banner saying that item is pending. It does NOT mean
that the exact item you are submitting is pending, only that the number is already
in use. All you have to do is increase the sequential number until your submission
goes through.

Jen

The post was not about adding new stickered counterparts to the catalog. It was
about stickered counterparts that are already in the catalog but have not yet
been added to inventories. Either because the change request is still pending
or because one had not yet been submitted.

Hmmm.. I guess I have always just compared the list of stickers already listed
in the set inventory with the ones that appear on a search. Annoying, yes, but
much less difficult then resubmitting all the parts just to see if they are there.

One of things I like to do from time to time is to assign those decorated parts
that have been added to the catalog but not added as counterparts to their appropriate
set.
For example:

6178pb037 Tile, Modified 6 x 12 with Studs on Edges with Star Wars Logo and 'R2-D2' Pattern (Sticker) - Set 75308
Parts: Tile, Modified, Decorated {Black}

It was added Dec 8,2021 but it is currently not listed in 75308's inventory.
So an Inventory Change request would need to be made to list it as a counterpart
(I have since submitted the request). Now this is the easiest example as that
is the ONLY stickered piece in the set. Some sets have dozens that need to be
added. I have submitted requests for such sets only to find out someone else
had beaten me to it. Incredibly frustrating as the time I used, which can be
significant, turned out to be wasted. And you don't find out until the very
last step - at submission. And it doesn't flag all the pieces - only the
first one it finds in the list that had been already submitted. So you can have
20+ parts and it turns out only 1 or 2 haven't been submitted. Good luck
finding out which ones quickly.

What I would suggest is something similar to when someone has reserved a set
to inventory. You immediately know if a set has been reserved as it states on
its catalog page under 'Item Consists Of', 'Inventory in Progress'
or something similar. So is there a way to tag or reserve those parts that have
been submitted waiting for approval to their appropriate sets so that when you
go to its catalog page you can see a message like 'Pending Approval'
under 'Item Appears In'?

I know adding stickered counterparts is way down on the list for catalog priorities
so adding such a feature could save lots of duplicate work/time from submitters.
Especially since there is an apparent backlog of stickered counterparts waiting
to be approved.

Of course, if such a thing already exists, could someone point it out to me?

Bill

You can find this through the pending approval page. https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvChangeItem.asp?viewStatus=0&itemType=S

Put the set number in the search box at the top of tha page (without the -1 suffix
or else it won't work). This will show all pending change requests for a
specific set.

+1. Although it has never happened to me, I've always imagined adding stickered

photographing etc. has gone to waste and could have been spent elsewhere.

If this was implemented, it would also make the admin's jobs easier to approve
stickered counterparts, as they would know what set they come from (assuming
you have reserved it)

One of things I like to do from time to time is to assign those decorated parts
that have been added to the catalog but not added as counterparts to their appropriate
set.
For example:

6178pb037 Tile, Modified 6 x 12 with Studs on Edges with Star Wars Logo and 'R2-D2' Pattern (Sticker) - Set 75308
Parts: Tile, Modified, Decorated {Black}

Buying from TLG is something that can already be done. This change would simply
improve the buying experience.

It would also manipulate the prices here, and LEGO said they would not do that
when they bought Bricklink.

For SK, the self declaration for paying tax is for cross border shopping. The
marketplace law changes that for online sales

The Canadian government has also enacted a federal law for online sales. This
will force the payment of GST or HST on sales. https://www.budget.gc.ca/2021/report-rapport/anx6-en.html#application-of-the-gst-hst-to-e-commerce

I believe the above provinces do not have HST, and have therefore made their
own laws to collect their PST

It’s supposed to work that way in the USA too: some states call it Used tax.
You buy in your state: you pay Sales tax to the seller. You buy from another
state: you report and pay Used tax on your own.

Thing is, no one did it and big internet sellers, 1. have their HQ in tax-friendly
states, and, 2. put their warehouses just over the state border for those states
that were a bit more clever and phrased their tax law to account for warehouses
and not HQs.

(It’s the same for import VAT: if you should have paid and didn’t and Customs
didn’t spot it, you are supposed to declare on your own.)

That's some gutsy law writing.

Thank you.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think what you are describing is closer

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...

Yes, but all you have to do is log in and it all goes away.

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

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.

Is it possible to add a sort option on seller in the Items For Sale tab on the

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.

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

Display part notes when shopping wanted list

Viewed:

57 times

Status:

Vote:

[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.

At least use the Remarks field - and BrickStore

You can put drawer 12 : "#DR12" in Remark for example.

"Wait, that part was Minifigures, Weapon, Spacegun. Now it's in Minifigures,
weapon, gun. And now I have to refund the customer because I can't find
it. Or what is currently a 1x1 Technic, Liftarm used to be in Technic and Technic,
Connectors."

Please, when you move something, tell us. Make a list.

Thanks,
Joshua

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:
— manual: a user files a change request,
— manual: an admin accepts it,
— automatic: the request is applied and goes into the log.

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:

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

These quick-links are very helpful in reducing the number of page loads when
