Shipping is relatively expensive in my country and many of us prefer to buy and
sell locally, a majority offering local pickup. (Quicker and safer.) It would
be a big time saver if the state code (2-3 characters) could be added wherever
the country location name appears, especially in search results for parts. Or
just adjacent to every store name. (A toggleable setting perhaps?) Or just
a mouseover? At the moment I have to open every store name link to see whether
it's in my state or not.

A symbol denoting whether the store offers local pickup would be icing on the
cake.

Do I need to provide more use case details?

Hello, I'm very happy to see the my parts list that helps me scan through
the many sets I have bought to use for parts. I would like a search function
to be added by either part name or part number. My current method to see if I
have a part in the inventory is to hop around through multiple pages to narrow
down the page with the right range of part numbers.

Or, am I missing something? Is there a better way to locate parts in my list?

A quicker way of deleting designs from MyStudio would be useful, instead of having
to click on each one and scrolling down to 'delete'. A tick box option
where they are listed would be really useful!

Thanks

Please consider adding a link from each item’s page to a discussion area for
that item. This would allow the community to explain how the item is used.

Would it be possible to get the Color Guide page to be sortable by the column
headings? I'd like to be able to easily see what colors are the most common
for example, or which ones have only existed for a set period of time.

Cheers,

Andrew

Hi all

I just had yet another case, with a first time buyer, who did not understand
nor know how to to complete an order and file feedback.
Nor do they know that they have to do anything except receiving the item.

I also have some users which do not care.

Some complain, that as firs time buyers, they would like an email on the first
order, how to act, what to do and what to click. Some literally need illustrative
pictures
Even that once selected "completed", it is needed to click "save"

They state:

Quote: "A separate email about doing the status change straight from BrickLink
would be great. No one generally wants to read help pages or has time to learn
about something you usually don’t have to do when ordering things."

And

Quote: "Since we haven’t order from here before and the site isn’t exactly
user friendly we didn’t know the case had to be completed by us. The link you
sent only had instructions on giving feedback, not changing a status. It’s completed
now. Maybe you can include the info that the status has to be changed by the
receiver straight into the message if it’s compulsory and not optional."

I think that BL is user friendly, but not everyone sees it this way. Btw this
is a UX designer who sent this

In quite some cases I never get to know that buyers ever have received their
items.

Would it be possible, that on first order, that BL sends some information to
buyers what to do - in detail?

Far too often, i'm finding people do not read or aware of comments when placing
an order. Even when they are obvious and have important information.

Can we introduce an acknowledgement when placing an order of all items with a
comment to protect sellers?

Many thanks Matt

Dear all.

First of all, really cool running this place, I have a lot of respect for all
of you who keep it running.
Could it be an option to divide the decorated groups into 2. 1 with prints and
1 with stickers.
It will make looking for some special decorated bricks a lot easier.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely
Jan Wisniewski

Is there a way for me to upload Lego inventory to a store with the intention
of selling the entire store instead of becoming a seller? I was trying to just
use My Collection but there's no price info. I don't want to have to
set up Paypal business and all that if I'm just going to try to sell the
whole store all at once.

Hi, it would be great if the "Submit Changes" button either existed on
the top of the page or if it were static at the bottom of the page instead of
having to scroll all the way to the bottom of an inventory page to update.

If you are refunding someone $2.99 on the "issue refund" page, the amount
box is scrollable and that $2.99 can accidentally be set to $2, $1, or even -$5,
or higher if you scroll the other way. Not ideal.

Hey

Would it be possible to have Swish as a payment method. It’s the most common
payment between Swedish customers and Swedish stores. If I take all my sales
to Swedish customers I would say 98% of those orders been payed with Swish.

Best Regards
Johan

Hey

I think it would be nice if you could show featured and highlighted stores per
country. I think that would help smaller stores in resp. Country to increase
their selling. I suppose there are many stores in smaller countries that never
will reach the sell volumes the bigger stores has in US/Europe

Just a suggestion from SkaraborgJohan in Sweden

Hi all, hi BL-team,

It would be great to have automated order status reminders "don't forget
to mark your order as received / completed / ..." and feedback reminders
"don't forget to leave feedback".

That's all folks

So I love the new feature called My Collection, you can add sets and loose parts
to your list.

It would be great if like rebrickable.com you could search through these already
owned parts from your wanted lists. IE after a MOC is created and you want to
buy the parts if you could search your own inventory, sets and loose parts or
just loose parts or just your sets before you go to buy additional bricks it
would be a useful feature for everyone.

Thanks!

When adding a part via the "Add Item" page, the color of the part in
the picture does not match the color selected. This can be problematic when
adding multiple parts of different colors as well as ensuring the color or picture
exists.

While clicking on an increment or decrement button within a qty box, the scroll
capability should be disabled to prevent accidentally increasing or decreasing
qty. This can be especially annoying with a mouse that scrolls by touch, i.e.,
an Apple mouse.

There is a button that says "Add Order Items to my wanted list" on the
order details page. This button adds the items that you just ordered to your
wanted list as "wanted" items. Why would I want the items I just ordered.
MVP for this suggestion:

- Have button to add items to wanted list "have" qty on order page
- Have ability to select which wanted list each lot is going to for multiple
wanted lists

On the profile page there is a banner 'Prefer My Bricklink Classis?'

This website update was years ago, can we remove this to settings to free up

We get little yellow icon notifications for new messages, why was this not enabled
for new orders?
The notifications can be removed once the order is opened.

The little green dot can mean any number of things.

Hello, dear developers and programmers of this site.

I have this problem.
I very often build different buildings from my parts and at the same time I use
your service to sort my parts from my Lego sets, but I REALLY miss sorting the
parts by color.

I would be very grateful if you could add such a function to the section on the
site where you can sort your parts from sets.
Thank you in advance!

Gonna express this here under suggestions, for lack of a better topic to use.
But no need to vote or take too serious Just looking for candid feedback on
the idea of rebranding the sometimes divisive feature

As the Stop List is a unidirectionally action, I thought a more descriptive term
for the outdated and sometimes confusing phrase, could easily replace it. Some
other descriptor that would serve both buyer and seller better.

Decline Service List, Refuse Service List, Excluded from Service, Service
Exclusion List
, or whatever you might come up with other than just “stop

Just today’s over caffeinated thinking, and frankly not all that important. I
mean, ambiguous as stop sometimes comes across to the uninitiated here, the phrase
has been around a long time. There’s that to consider, but on the other hand
“don’t stop improving” is a good mantra and attitude to maintain.

It would be awesome to filter the color palette by year to see what colors were
active. The introduced and retired data is already available on most colors in
the color guide, and it would be a cool way to browse the history of lego parts.
Would also really help in trying to collect particular eras of lego.

The catalog has long had the feature to see the parts intrdocued each year. What
is not available, however, is viewing all the parts in the palette for a given
year. Currently most parts have the year they were introduced and retired, but
the latter half of that data is not viewable in a list format as far as I can
tell. Being able to view the "active" catalog for each year would be
a great feature to browse Lego history.

This could also be extended to the other broad categories in the catalog, but
not sure the year data is as robust on those to be easily done.

A more complex version of this suggestion is that the active catalog view for
a given year should only include those parts appearing in sets for sale. Right
now it seems like the year data only accounts for the first and last appearance
of a part and not when it was truly active. But sets right now only have an introduced
date and do not have a retired date so it may be hard to figure out what was
actively for sale in a given year.

It would also be great to get as granular as the mold variation available, but
that is probably rather difficult with all the slight variations contained in
the same listing.
