  Hello Everyone,

In June of last year, we introduced a new Wanted List upgrade. This upgrade came
with a newly-designed buying experience which focused on the necessity to compare
and plan out multiple carts at once, as well as make it easier to manage multiple
lists.

Since BrickLink's Wanted List is a core feature for most users, we currently
provide the classic version for members to use as a backup in case there are
glitches with the new version. This is intended to be a temporary solution.

The classic version of the Wanted List feature will become unavailable on
June 5, 2017.
At this point, we have ensured that the new version of the
Wanted List covers all desired functionality (plus more) from the classic version.
If you have any issues with the new version, please let us know as soon as possible.

Thank you for the continued support, bug reports, and helpful feedback as we
continue to roll out important changes.

Sincerely,

Jaclyn
BrickLink Customer Support


I don't like the New wanted list,

I prefer classic must more compact and easy to read, and reliable

after placing and order, I click the wanted list symbol, using classic I find
it a lot easier to remove the items I have just bought

when searching items in the new wanted list layout I find some items do not list
the stores underneath them,

Let's make this all agile and stuff:

As a BrickLink visitor I would like to see preview images when linking to
BrickLink so my links to BrickLink are clear and comprehensive

There are formats like Open Graph (https://ogp.me/) and Twitter Cards (https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-for-websites/cards/overview/markup)
that enable previews in many common tools and platforms. Think of messengers
(like WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal), team chats (Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams),
Social Media Platforms (LinkedIn, Twitter) and note taking tools (like Keep,
Notion, Dropbox Paper).

For example, I just wanted to make note of some parts for a project (not a MOC
or purely Lego). It would've been nice if I could have added BrickLink-links
to my notes and immediately get a visual overview.

It makes links much more valuable, useful and I bet it improves
click through rates
as well. It's also rather easy to implement
as it's about taking data that's already there, and putting it into the
meta-section of the HTML.

Thanks already!

I am not sure if it is possible, but I am wondering if it would be possible to
add an option to add parts with stickers when parting out a set.

Lately I have been parting out a lot of used sets to my store that have parts
with stickers.

Currently you can choose the following options: 1) Include instructions, 2)
Include box, 3) Include extra parts. I am wondering if we could add a fourth
option which is 4) Include parts with stickers and other counterparts.

This would be very helpful.

Thanks,

Evan

When parting out sets on My Collections, would it be possible to be able to add
stickered pieces instead of non-stickered pieces and a sticker sheet? It is really
time-consuming to do it manually.

Hi,
I have an idea for the buy option on the wanted list.
When there is a part made up of multiple parts (like 33172c01) it could also
search for 33183 and 33172 and add whichever option is cheaper.

If you have ever bought from a store before the address is at the bottom of the
order page. Otherwise contact the seller and they could tell you

  Just some facts, it may have to happen.

INFORM Consumers Act that became law in December.
From another 3rd party selling ap
Burke said the new law stipulates that, "for any seller who reaches an annual
total revenue of $20,000, xxxx is required to include your name or company name
and full physical address in purchase confirmation emails and order details."

I think this law is no problem because as soon as you place the order, you get
the seller details in your order.
In belgium if they are a seller with VAT-number, you can do a lookup and find
out the location of that company.
But then they need to have AND list the VAT-number...

a Suggestion to Bricklink:
when you check out a cart it already states under order summary:
Shipping & Handling
via "shiping method"
to Belgium, Antwerpen 2650 (= my location)

If Bricklink wants it, they could change it to add a "from"

Shipping & Handling
from country, province, postal code (= seller location)
via "shiping method"
to Belgium, Antwerpen 2650

= this would give an easy indication of the store location...

But I agree it would be so helpfull if you could search what stores are nearby.
Nearby your home, or nearby a holiday destination...

On the other hand, certain family members will be happy that this is not a feature..

  Hello !

OK, let's better explain :

#1/ Create a Wishlist from the set 31124 / Small Robot
-- you'll have Black / Dark Azure / Dark Bluish Gray / Light Bluish
Gray / Red / Yellow and Trans Yellow colors for 159 parts.

#2/ Open the wishlist and, into More Option, just select the Color Picker. You
have all the colors of the database...

So, according my point of view, I'd just need 7 colors into the selection
list.

Is this clearer ?

Thank you,

Vincent

Yes, now it is very clear.

What you see on screen is a dropdown list with all colors; this is part of the
user interface. This list apparently is currently not filtered on which colors
are actually present in your wanted list. You would like this list to be adaptive
to show only the colors that are used in your wanted list. Similarly to what
happens in a shop's inventory, showing only the categories and colors that
shop actually has. Makes sense.

I don't expect this to be implemented anytime soon though, as changing this
from a static list (= simply all colors in the color table) to a dynamic list
(= select all unique colors from your individual wanted list(s)) might be a burden
on the system (or the system's engineers).

It would be sooooo helpful. Is this possible to suggest this feature to the developers
as a proposal and wait for their answer ?

Thank you,

Vincent

Note that, by law, EU stores have to give their _exact_ location (IOW, their
address)… but you still need to check store by store.

BL has had a negative view of this for many years.

The main argument at the time was fee avoidance.

  Most of my orders the post office has been good about keeping up with the tracking.
One seller took over 3 weeks before the post office changed status to received.
This was after trying numerous times to communicate with the seller

I agree that there are sellers out there that do not ship right away and will
mark the order as shipped before it has shipped.

The best defense to this is to read the store's feedback and see if other
buyers have mentioned "Slow to ship" or "Did not ship for over a
week". These are tell-tale signs that the seller takes their time shipping
out packages. In my experience, these sellers are also poor communicators.

Suggestion: Get rid of the XML copy-paste window entirely and just add it to
the list of all the other file types that are already supported for dragging
and dropping.

Other sites allow for XML files to be drag and dropped into their upload section
without needing the code to be copy-pasted. There are a lot of first-time custom
builders wanting to use the BL platform getting hung-up on this feature. As someone
who runs a webstore selling MOC instructions I can tell you this is by far the
most common question I get.

If you are looking at Items for sale, then there should be a "No minimum
purchase" check box that you can tick to view items in stores that have no
minimum purchase.

I'm not sure if it's the same as finding stores with no minimum buy,
but this should help you.

Cheers ...

Voted yes, but possibly make this a filter with a maximum amount you find acceptable
for minimum buy.

That would even be better indeed.
It's especially very annoying when you are looking to purchase only one or
two small items for a few euros (or dallors) and come in stores that have a min.
buy of 20 euro or more.
So indeed, the possibility to set a treshold value would makes sense.

If they are doing it, then add the same with lot limits too.

Both should allow the user to enter what is acceptable rather than complete exclusion,
as some stores have low minimum buys or high lot limits than don't really
affect placing reasonable orders.

Should be possible: there’s one with Auto-select on the Buy page (checkbox when
you start Auto-select to include/exclude stores when you can’t meet their minbuy).

Individual items don't typically have shipping costs associated with them,
however - it's hard to see how this would work.

The “other” lego site does this

Don't they also have far fewer shipping options for sellers though?

The owls site does have less setting for shipping options which is true but you
can still customize them decently for most things

Already in the rules at https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=41
but not enforceable as the definition of 'shipped' may vary around the
world.

Also, without more in-between statuses, the work process of the seller may dictate
the time an order is flagged as shipped.

Also rural Canadian sellers (such as myself) would mark an order as shipped when
it’s safe in the rural mailbox, but it still has to be picked up by Canada Post
and scanned at a location. In my opinion, the order is shipped when it’s no longer
in the seller’s possession.

most likely the items have been shipped or will be shipped soon and patience

Some stores only ship once or twice a week. Read the store terms to see if they
say how often they ship orders. If you are concerned about an order, reach out
to the seller and politely ask if your order has been shipped.

As others have said, sometimes the courier does not scan the label in, and you
will not see an update until it has reached its next destination. This is particularly
true for first class mail in the USA.

Most of my orders the post office has been good about keeping up with the tracking.
One seller took over 3 weeks before the post office changed status to received.
This was after trying numerous times to communicate with the seller

This is very cool! I have purchased from 665 different sellers in 23 countries
in 19 years.

These are fun stats.

  So, I know this is a pointless vanity feature, but Bricklink seems to remember
who I have bought from far beyond any information on the order itself, and I
think it would be cool to have a map showing everywhere I have purchased bricks
from. Having it very specific and interactive would be neat, but even as simple
as state/country and number of orders would be interesting to see.

Buy a world map and stick a pin in everywhere you buy/sell too.

I had thought of that. My problem is it didn't occur to me unil however many
years later and I can't get the info now. Trying to recompile through my
feedback, I lose about 20% of my orders, but I know they know them all, somewhere.

Also it's way easier if they do it for me. :-p
