Hi All, I'm building CHIMA 70149 and an illustrated brick is not in the
bricklink All Items catalogue so I can't even order it - I've checked
that the item number is correct - 6030442 - in the leaflet and other sites but
am stumped as to know how to put it on my wanted list, any suggestions?
Thanks greenbricabrac

The reporter let me know that the video was released on Friday, but I forgot
to post it until one of my buyers messaged me that he had seen it.

Was thinking more about the doomed sets in the unreleased catagory, and went
for a second look.

I clicked on a item and noticed that the banner on the top said, "This Item
was Likely Not Released".

Key word for me "LIKELY".
How are we supposed to know for sure if a item was not released if no one can
put one up for sale?!?

So my request is that you allow sellers to sell the item, but only in the conditions
of sealed or new.

I recently sold a set, and the buyer came back saying there are SEVERAL missing
pieces. Those are all LARGE pieces (not real cheap). He also said he checked
inventory against BrickSet (Not BrickLink). I'd like to give the buyer the
benefit of the doubt, but when there are 20 large missing parts (Including a
linear actuator), I'm rather not sure.

We have been on BL for 18 years and selling for all of those 18 years, why is
BL now wanting us to do a seller verification? We were hacked and we are fixing
things as we go and we found the verification? Is this new and why would it
come up after 18 years?

Is it a new thing to require a code to leave feedback for a seller. It says
to access my seller features. I am a buyer, if this is a new requirement people
will stop leaving feedback. I am very disinclined to deal with this.

We have just realized that someone has added sets to our inventory that we do
not have and never had.

Set in questions is 10123 Cloud City, We DO NOT have this set for sale, it is
a fake listing added to our inventory.

If you are using a modern smartphone to satisfy picture requests, it is very
likely that the pictures contain location data as to precisely where you were
located when you took the picture. Unless you turn that off, or strip the EXIF
data, you are telling the recipient where you store your inventory.

Something to keep in mind.

I have received two separate "Login From New Device" emails in the last
six hours. I am well aware of all the hacking attempts and fraudulent sites pretending
to be Bricklink out there.

Both emails game from "support@policyking.net". I don't believe either
email was legit and I have ignored both so far. Still, I did login briefly last
night and thought that I should ask if they were legit incase they were.

I still doubt their legitimacy and logged in from a "bricklink.com" shortcut
saved in my browser favorites.

I apologize to the forum for spamming, I am just trying to get an admins attention
and protect my livelihood.

ADMIN,

NEW INFO 2: I believe this was done so that I cannot send the request to change
emails as it now says there is already an account with that email.

NEW INFO 1: I got 2 more weird emails. One was confirmation for signing up
to BrickLink under the username par16 asking for email confirmation. another
was a login from a new device. I did not click either.


I don't know what to do. I was Hacked. I foolishly fell for a well times
phishing email and the hacker got access to my account.


The hacker has changed my email, changed my username and is trying to upload
expensive sets to my store. PLEASE HELP I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

Hacker, continues to delete all my messages, re-open my store, add inventory
etc.

Hello folks! Hope you are doing well)
I've looked at ~50 stores and I didn't see any social media links on
the Terms&Conditions page (except for YouTube). I guess most of you have some.

I would like to get some inspiration for my builds, as well as to learn more
about selling/buying on Bricklink.

It would be nice if you can share some Instagram/TikTok/YouTube blogs. Thanks!

How is it determined which items are featured in the "Featured items"
section on BL's main page, below "Browse LEGO items"? There doesn't
seem to be a rhyme or reason, because there are some really obscure things
there sometimes, like this Paradisa minifig. None available, none sold, released
in 1993, and on a staggering 5 wanted lists

Just got added to another Stop and Ignored list by a member within this thread:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1459625

I'm regrettably unable to tell this sensitive individual the pleasure I get
out of such expressed pettiness nowadays. Oh well, maybe they'll read this
and all will be well with the little darling Though no need to stop-list. Never
have, nor believe I ever will buy from your store. And as to ignore; well you
most certainly will miss-out on some fun if not interesting times.

That said, whereas in the past I've argued against the "Ignore" feature
on BL, I've come to appreciate it more over the years. I've never used
it myself, but having certain others use it makes for let's say, less
peskiness

You be you, is what I promote today

Hello!
Two questions on how to download inventory from BrickLink:

a) For a full download of all parts in the BrickLink catalog, I would like to
include the size dimensions (cm). There is a checkbox option to "Include
Dimensions", but this downloads the information in stud size, not in cm.
Is there an option to include the cm size dimensions with my download?

b) For a download of my own store inventory, I see that it pulls in the Remarks
column. However, it does not include the Comments field. Is there an option to
include the Comments field as a column with my download?

Thank you,
Dennis

I have a couple of sets from ~15 years. They've been in storage for the past
10 years. Now, I noticed that some LBG parts have changed to Old Light Gray.

Has anyone else seen such metamorphosis ?

Hey Y'all -

I'm considering hanging up the bricks. This old Gorilla is getting tired
and losing a bit of motivation. Hiring sorting monkeys is possible, but not
really a good option for my store size. I have a small store here in coastal
NC about 30 minutes north of Myrtle Beach, SC. At this point, I have NOT liquidated
anything, so my full inventory is available and hasn't been cherrypicked.

I have approximately 111k parts in roughly 10k lots with a BL 6 Mos avg of
around $9.5K. I would like to nab a 40% sale price. Also available at a bargain
would be about 30 TuffStore cabinets with hundreds of drawer dividers, at least
a 100 lbs give or take of unsorted lego, and maybe another 150 pieces or so of
unlisted minifigs. Inventory quality is a mix of new and used with the used
being very good and the drawers very accurate, as is confirmed by my 100% feedback
score after 2 1/2 years of selling and 1600+ orders.
I'm not opposed to shipping, but it would be expensive for you. I would
much prefer for you to come on down to my neck of the jungle and bring a big
van, or a small trailer. I can shrink wrap the cabinets with inventory inside,
but because I am keeping about 20 or so cabinets, some of the inventory would
need to be bagged. Pictures and/or a Brickstore file is available on request.
Shoot me your thoughts, questions, or comments.

Gorilla

I have a new with broken seals 6276. I am trying to find out the bag count in
this set so I can confirm completeness. I feel like everything is there but want
to be sure. It does have (4) pieces that arent bagged and I know those are correct.
I have gone as far as asking Lego and they couldnt find it in their databases.
any help is greatly appreciated

Did not know Target carried it a few years ago. Would be cool to have one of
the parts.

If I order from DD bricks Thailand, what kind of extra taxes can I expect when

Hi

This below may be a duplicate warning.

We got an e-mail that ' someone logged in to my account', 'contact
support' and then "Log device out of your account'.

Sender: support@brickslink.org

So is this the way accounts are hacked? If so, Bricklink should place a warning
to prevent this!

Regards

Erik

On some of my Wanted List it is written "Not Applicable" beside some
of the pieces.

What does it mean??

The recent post by Saitobricks.ca about the Bricklink branded duster has me wondering
if an ordinary make-up brush would work as a viable cleaning tool for my collection
of sets on display.

My collection of sets on display has expanded quite a bit recently. In the last
year alone, it has gone from only three sets to seven sets at the current time.
It's becoming a bit of a chore to keep them clean and dust free of dust.
More sets are in the planning stage for later on down the road.

Anyone have any experience cleaning lego with something like a make-up brush?

Hi all, I’m in the middle of putting together a minifigure display and need some
ideas on how to non-permanently attach Lego plates to raw wood.

Hello Everyone!

I was going through some old bricks that I have and noticed something very interesting...

On the 1 x 6 bricks without Bottom Tubes, with cross supports. Item # crssprt02

The studs have the old style script along with the modern style.

Anyone else see this? I only have 5 of them and the are all that way, so I'm
assuming that's how they all are.

Going through a bin that had been buried at the back of the closet. Found a note
inside:
Oops! Just realized you said not to take any trains apart. Here are the pieces
I hadn't gotten to yet.


And this ladies and gentlemen, is the reason she's the EX business partner.

Prices for letters up again in April.

Justification : costs and less mail.

My guess is that part of the reason for less mail is, you guessed it, the fact
that the price keeps going up.

Just found this on a minifigure. It’s about the size of a thumbtack, and it’s
perfectly centered. It doesn’t go all the way through. What do you guys think
caused it?

Did Lego EVER make an axe head without their logo on it? I got these from a
bricklink store, one with Lego logo came from a LOTR set, with less speckling.
The one with more speckles from a bricklink store. Any weapons experts? Please
help i won't be selling fake lego not ever!

There is what looks like a hyphenated number on the one without Lego stamp

Thank you!!

Hello Bricklink community — My son built a huge impressive Lego town in the garage,
but now it needs to go to make way for a gym.

I have a set of four amazing IKEA Lagkapten 78.75" long table tops with Adils
legs. (See: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/lagkapten-tabletop-white-00460836/)
The tables have been custom fit with latches to make it possible to securely
fasten them together into a huge steady 78.75" x 94.5" rectangle. These
tables work great to display Legos, but are also useful for any number of household
hobbies.

Please contact me if you'd like these tables. Absolutely free. You just need
to pick them up by Feb 26-Mar 1. We are located in Marin County, California.
Please DM me if you are interested in taking these.

When I first started selling I bulk ordered plastic deli containers from a wholesale
restaurant store. Great for small stores

I quickly moved to the plastic baggie

Each part has it's own bag, and then within that bag are the separate colors.
Each color has their own bag. Then all similar pieces go into one of those 18
gallon storage tubs. Example: all normal bricks have 1 bin, the modified bricks
have their own.

The problem is, it still takes me forever to go through the bin to find the correct
part bag, to then go through that bag for the color bag.

I can't afford enough drawers to have the drawer system I want.. but do yall
have any suggestions on what I can do now without spending a ton to help with
storage?!

I am jumping the shark a bit on this post but 2024 is going to be an interesting
season.

We are working on the CANADA IN OHIO room.

We purchased a collection years ago and have not had all it up for show yet but
this is the year!

Lots of work has gone into this room and it is going to be epic!

This is the original builder Sara Kehler DeFehr or as she was known as; "The
LEGO Grandma"

All 1970's and of course you all know I love the original LEGO windows and
they are here in massive numbers.

Ok LEGO people. I have posted before when I find something cool as heck.

Well this is a twisted tail of "What the heck is this?" and yes I am
aware of the "it is fake" crowd but I can assure you I have documentation
to backup the "real" claim.

This is a one of a kind LEGO brick and yes it is 14k Gold.

I am not very good in photos and this thing even makes me look good.

Sometimes it is better to be lucky then good looking that is for darn sure.

Have a great weekend.

Hello BrickLink Community,

I'm in the early stages of developing an analytics app specifically for BrickLink
store owners and am seeking your valuable feedback. The goal of this app is to
provide insightful analytics that can help store owners make informed decisions,
optimize their inventory, and enhance their store's performance.

Here's what I envision the app will offer:

- Detailed sales analytics
- Inventory management insights
- Trend analysis to predict future demand

I would love to hear from you about:

1. What are the biggest challenges you face in managing your BrickLink store?
2. Are there specific analytics or data points you wish you had easy access to?
3. Have you used any analytics tools before, and if so, what did you like
or dislike about them?
4. What features would make an analytics app truly valuable for you?

Your experiences, challenges, and insights are incredibly important to me. They
will guide the development of this app to ensure it meets your needs and addresses
the real pain points of managing a BrickLink store.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts and feedback. I'm
here to listen and incorporate your ideas into making something that genuinely
benefits the BrickLink community.

Looking forward to your responses!

I appear to have a different version of b14sw08 to the one shown in the catalogue.

[b=b14sw08]

My outer box has figure cutouts not images and may be a different size.

The set consists of a box card with 2 figures and 2 books, books being an alternative
print, smaller in size and thickness, no figure cutouts.

Image one is outer box.

Second image is box card with 2 figures.

Third and fourth are the alternative book versions.

Fifth shows shrink wrap still in place.

Hello everyone, sorry for my ignorance, but I am still fairly new to the Lego
world.
Who can tell me the difference between stone 4070 with and without a lock? and
which one is with a lock and which one without a lock? and does it also have
a function with building?
thanks in advance for your responses

Hi
Why is it that 21344 is created with the wrong sticker sheets and the 2 blocks
with misprints? They do not make sense that the correct ones should be created
as alternate items?
I agree that Lego makes changes to some sets, but a set where misprints are corrected
should not be seen as 2 different versions?

Best regards
Simon

I have a fairly large collection, spanning over 20 years, and stored/sorted in
200+ boxes, including Technic, City, Ninjago, Bionicle, Friends, and many many
more. These include over 300 minifigs, and many unique/rare parts/sets (eg. Scorpion
Pyramid, Village Market, ...). I have little time to sort through and rebuild
all the sets. I'm looking for input as to what is the best way to sell all
at once. My initial investment was over $50k.

1. Any thoughts on how to liquidate everything ASAP?
2. Would selling everything by the pound on eBay be an option? - Not very attractive
I'm sure.

Thoughts are appreciated.

Hello all,

Over the past 9 days, Paypal has asked me three (3) times to verify my account.
I have to upload a drivers license, verify transactions, send in USPS tracking
information. Twice now, I've submitted all of the info and within a few
hours, my account is back to normal.

THis morning, they have asked again and now want a copy of my bank statement,
verify more transactions with USPS tracking information.

What is going on with Paypal? Is anyone else having to deal with this? I only
use Paypal for my bricklink store. I don't transfer money all over the place
and all of my bricklink sales go into Paypal.

THanks,

CLM

Anyone here had any trouble with buyers for this set of 16 new sealed ?

About to add a large number of collectable minifigures, not sure about selling
series 1 due to value.

Not had much trouble so far but thought I’d get your views.

They are identified by barcode and if my memory serves me right they are North
American.

Hello all,

An order was placed with me and I made an error with one of the pieces. I have
emailed the buyer and sent messages to this person through Bricklink. This person
will not respond. What should I do at this point? The order cannot be sent
100% complete and the buyer will not respond and let me know what to do? It
was an honest mistake and I really don't want to get a negative feedback
rating. I've sent 4 messages so far so I am trying to fix the issue. What
does a seller do at this point, when the seller is trying to fix the issue but
is not getting any response from the buyer? Should I just refund the entire
order?

Thanks,

CLM

Hi Bricklinkers,

I had a buyer who purchased 15x 4073 (New) in pearl dark grey (PDG). He sent
me a message today said I had supplied black instead of PDG. I checked my inventory
& I only have PDG in the drawer so I'm confident order was correct. I asked
him to check as difference between black & PDG is subtle. No it is black (offered
to provide photo).

My attitude is no point arguing over a few cents. I source my new parts from
unopened sets or directly from Lego so I can't offer the buyer anything else.
Automatic refund for the item.

I'm interested in other seller's experiences.

Thanks in advance.
Brendan

When will Bricklink update its servers?

It seems like they are incredibly outdated because of daily maintenance that
lasts too long, as well as the designer program orders breaking the website as
well.

I am struggling to do any order processing because of this.

Today, after nearly 2,500 orders, I received my first sequential orders, placed
just 5.5 seconds apart.

The even stranger thing is that they are going to two different places less than
5 miles apart!

I would like to suggest these for the next round of part merges:

 
Part No: 6015  Name: Tire 21mm D. x 12mm - Offset Tread Small Wide
* 
6015 Tire 21mm D. x 12mm - Offset Tread Small Wide
Parts: Wheel, Tire & Tread
 
Part No: 87697  Name: Tire 21mm D. x 12mm - Offset Tread Small Wide, Band Around Center of Tread
* 
87697 Tire 21mm D. x 12mm - Offset Tread Small Wide, Band Around Center of Tread
Parts: Wheel, Tire & Tread
 
Part No: 60700  Name: Tire 21mm D. x 12mm - Offset Tread Small Wide, Raised Groove
* 
60700 Tire 21mm D. x 12mm - Offset Tread Small Wide, Raised Groove
Parts: Wheel, Tire & Tread

They seem like pretty useless distinctions.

I would also like to suggest something the site should have done before even
considering merging anything. The site should have made it quite
clear in writing in the catalog help pages what is an acceptable variant for
this website and what is not.

Otherwise, it's just up to the whim of whomever is deciding, which is no
way to run a business.

Hi all,

Is there a way to see how many different parts are in your stores inventory?

And to be precise...In this instance I count all colours as 1 part, e.g. if you
had 3 x red 3001 and 6 x blue 3001 this would only count as a total as 1 (being
a 3001)

Who decides when a MOC will change from having assembly instructions one day
to
"This design is for Display only.
Features are not accessible." the next day?
In this case I am refering to the Union Pacific DDA40X Locomotive Train...It
had all the Studio Building steps last Thursday and the next day...gone...What
is up with that??? I have been gathering parts to make this great MOC and now
what??? I tried to get in contact with the creator of the locomotive but nothing
...

Hello,

has anyone else noticed a difference in the thickness of recent spongy capes?

I noticed this with a black cape (item 19888) on the Darth Vader minifig SW1249
from last year.

The cape is noticably thinner than the one on other older Darth Vader minifigs.
I can both feel the difference and see the difference (the cape clearly lets
more light through which is a bit annoying).

I haven't noticed any such inconsistency before with these spongy capes so
I was wondering if it's an intentional change by Lego or if I just got an
unusually thin cape.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

As if it was not enough dealing with gray and bluish gray, we also have to contend
with the following:

1. Brown vs. Reddish Brown vs. Dar Red
2. Black vs. Dark Green
3. Color 'variability'

I've had parts sorted under artificial light and they all appear the 'same'.
However, when I look them under the sun, it's a whole spectrum. My group
of brownish 1x2 slopes turned out to be a mix of 5 shades

4. Reddish Brown
5. 'Regular' Brown
6. Slightly clearer Brown
7. Some dark red that is not completely opaque
8. Some dull brown

9. How does one separate all of these colors. I have a daytime job, and do not
get sun 24/7 ?
10. How bad is color variability?
11. Did TLG really need to produce that many colors?
12. I reckon many men have some inherent color blindness ...

I've had a buyer potentially interested in 2 large sets I'm selling.
He asked for pictures. So, I went ahead, checked the inventory once again, took
several pictures, sent to him, unlisted the two items he was interested in (to
give him first dibs). It's been 4 days now and he has not even acknowledged
receipt of the pictures and what his intentions are. Be nice to people they said,
what did I get? I waisted 2 hours and now nothing. Yes, it's part of the
business/hobby, but next time someone asks for pictures well ... we'll see.

I have two of the following part, yet BrickLink does not even list that the color
was ever issued. Is this an issue with BL or am I sitting on a fortune?

What's the general sentiment about texting a buyer/seller after a week of
no communication?

I'm coming up on a week for an invoice that hasn't been paid yet for
a large set. Messages are not read and it's a relatively old user with
very low feedback. (so they should know how the system works, but maybe it's
been a while?) There is a phone number attached to the address so I could call
or text but people get funky about that kind of stuff now-a-days.

Good morning.

We are 10 short of 10,000.

Would really love to celebrate that milestone with the crew this weekend.

If you have an open order with us would you be able to leave a positive feedback
to make this happen?

Thank you very much.

PIZZA PARTY SATURDAY (if we make it or not. Have a large inbound coming which
will really help us in the "assortment of elements" category)

But it would be really fun to have a 'dual party'.

Thank you

In 2021, the name on this part changed from "100 dollar bill" to "100
paper bill"... seems like an odd move to me.

Certainly made it harder to search.

And maybe other regions or countries would refer to it as a "100 paper
bill" or the feeling is that "paper" is more generic bc not every
country's currency is a called a "dollar", but I feel like that could
have been added to the "dollar bill" verbiage.

The part appears to have had the same name from 2001 to 2021, so I think there
should be more consideration put into changing the name on parts with established
names.

Hello. Apologies if this question has been raised before but I couldn't find
it looking back through the forums.

I'd like to invest in certain Lego sets and would really love to buy the
sets in multiples to match the brown LEGO retail outer shipping boxes (for 2
reasons, to try to minimise and potential shipping damage to individual boxes,
and also to keep the sets in the best condition for the future)

Specifically, I'm really wanting to buy a few 42158 Mars Perseverance Rovers
as I really think the potential ROI could be good - the last rover was around
£60 and now regularly achieves over £300. I have a feeling they are shipped to
stores in 3's but it could be in 5's?. Obviously there's no guarantee
I'd receive them in the outer boxes but I'd stand more chance ordering
in the correct numbers.

Does anyone know a way of finding out the number of boxed sets are in each outer
container or better still, know how many of these sets are in each outer?.

Thanks

Hi everyone, I'm writing from Italy, I'm desperately asking for help
I am creating an inventory in which I would like to list all the box formats
of our beloved constructions, for a research aimed at creating an innovative
and very useful product, I ask if anyone already has a list or if they have had
the patience to list them all, I mean the formats and if he is willing to share
the list
thank you so much and happy legoacy to everyone

Due to pressures on their delivery system, not enough mail, they are looking
at becoming a third rate service.

Nothing decided but toying with the idea of only three deliveries per week, seriously
!

Probably proposing three days so that when they reduce it by one day it looks
like a good compromise, mind games as usual.

For those older like myself, remember when we had two deliveries a day ?

Lately I've seen a surge in NEW members (zero feedback), who end up non-paying.
I'd love to help newbies, but when I go through th effort of checking the
inventory, packing the set, and buying shipping, then the would be buyer cancels
.. that is really annoying.

Yes, I could wait for payment before buying the shipping label, but all of that
takes time.

Should we just ignore all new buyers with zero feedback?

I'd hate to tarnish their reputation and give a negative feedback, but at
the same time, I expect some 'courtesy/commitment' in return.

It might be a good idea to have an admin only thread for responses about the
upcoming catalogue changes. That way, it won't get clogged up with loads
of people reproducing the entire first post and writing PLEASE DON’T or SOUNDS
GOOD at the bottom, making it easier to find the more important clarification,
explanation and update posts from Russell and/or other admins on the matter.

I know a new thread has recently appeared but it appears to be open to replies
and so expecting nobody to reply to it is a long shot.

as we are all very happy as to the recent hacking incident... , & noticing
the Gummy Spam has IBM Security Directory Integrator components that are designed
for network administrators who are responsible for maintaining user directories
and other resources.

these are not "New BL Members".. they are Network Administrators at some
company.

maybe a simple Poll would be something needed to see what the Community thinks
moving forward.

Poll:

Which option would you prefer as a gummy Solution

A) nothing, gummy Spam is Delicious!
B) require a Forum Pay-To-Play Positive Feedback, similar to the Seller
Requirement
C) require new users to be Verified by some Official Secondary means w/
Bricklink i.e. a payment processor.
D) ban Zero Feedback Members from posting URL Links in the Forum.
E) allow Zero Feedback Members Limited Forum Access that is visible to
Moderators Only and does not post publicly.
F) Restrict New Users from using the Forum Period, placing them in a 'Guest
User' mode until they actually buy/sell something. any questions they have
can be directed straight to either Admin's, Moderators or Veteran BL Members
who volunteer to answer Guest User Questions.


being fair, let's say leave poll open for 2 weeks...
to give occational forum readers a chance to participate, if they want too.

Greetings,

Is there a way to check if a member is active? This guy keeps showing up on my
list with things I want to buy, but the guy hasn’t been active for almost a year.
I’ve sent messages without replies. I don’t trust buying from him for fear of
sending money and not getting anything back.

Thanks in advance.

Name: Adalgiss

I hope the admins are taking note only there are people here like myself that
have always followed the rules despite wanting and being denied a second account
for legitimate reasons (separate business from personal) and yet there are clearly
members here using second accounts to strengthen the voice of their own opinion
in the forum?

How is it possible that so many replies against the variant merge are from people
with barely any feedback yet they still appear to have the highest/most complex
level of understanding when it comes to variants?
Yes perhaps one or two of these never buy or sell and only use Bricklink as a
database reference in which case are they the best voices to be listening to
anyway given they don’t actually contribute to the core element of the site which
is to buy and sell Lego!
But let’s be honest having an opinion is one thing but using a second account
to voice that same opinion again is unhelpful spamming and so I hope admins will
investigate and merge these accounts!

Ultimately as far as peoples opinions go in general I understand the arguments
on both sides and to a degree sympathies but generally a lot of these arguments
seem to be along the lines that the merge is a bad idea because people will no
longer be able to easily distinguish the correct variant? Yet this appears to
be the exact intention, since Bricklink has already openly stated that they do
not particularly want members of its community (New or Old) being overly bogged
down and concerned with these variants. They essentially want them dismissed/forgotten
about! (Pretty much their own words)
With this in mind it really isn’t in Bricklinks best interest to put in place
any specific solution that only further prevents them breaking away from what
they are trying to break away from? Therefore in the end it can only be for individual
members who care about this stuff to either use the comments field or ask the
question!
The way I see it, this change is probably going to hinder maybe 1% of the community
whilst making things smoother and more efficient for 99% of the community. It’s
a no brainer from Bricklinks perspective!

Hello,

It's been interesting seeing the various initiatives that LEGO's marketing
team have pursued since taking over the site (MOC shop, BDP program) etc.

The compliance work around taxation is also good to see.

However, I believe the majority of visitors to the site are here for the parts
marketplace, particularly the non-XP experience, and unfortunately it appears
that this has been left with zero allocation of developer time for feature enhancements,
just basic maintenance and bug fixes.

While I don't want to share exact numbers, I will say that by selling on
multiple platforms since before the takeover, we have observed a significant
and increasing decline in Bricklink's marketshare amongst part buyers, as
it's competition has continued to improve upon the core marketplace experience,
while the Bricklink team are distracted.

I'm sure that the marketing team has more ideas up their sleaves, but I hope
that they are also able to recognise the importance of improving upon the core
experience to protect their investment.

Thanks

we would like to thank the ebay user who had 4 feedback for selling us his 2.07
pound mini-figure horde for $99.99...

basically every figure is mint, handfuls of star wars -- multiple double
cup HANDFULS.

with guns, weapons, accessories, etc. etc.

hope the $99.99 ( + Tax i might ad... ) gets you things you desire.

as for you people reading this here...

incoming goodies....

complete and total scammer, lots of NSS completed and the store was suspended
and closed. bricklink even emailed buyers directly to tell them it was a scam.
just super surprised to see the store reinstated. just look at that feedback
(!!) I know several people in my facebook group who got scammed by this store.

How in hades does this happen? What's more, none of the other pieces in
the set appear this damaged or have matching marks where they would have caused
the gouge. There are two of these in the same set (1x12) which is funny because
I believe one of my Hogwarts sets was missing 1-2 of these in the rafters
above the dining hall.

I've noticed that, mostly, female minifigs in any given set are MORE expensive
than male counter-parts. This is especially true if such minifig appears in one
set only. Any specific reason for this or ... is it because this is still a male
dominated hobby and we're all enamored by cute faces?

Is there a specific reason why Stay Logged In doesn't work? I have ad-block
shut off and don't use VPN. Anything else? (BL is only site this happens
to me, everywhere else is OK)

On the orders received page, the page defaults to the new layout. If you want
the classic view you have to select it!

Is there a way of keeping the classic view without selecting it?

Thanks
Mike
