Hi all, I am new here but a friend suggested this to me. I recently used Mecabrick
to create an idea and I am now wondering if I can upload a file somewhere to
identify and possibly order the pieces I need for it. I would love to buy them
here and maybe create an instuction manual for the set. I have a .stl file or
a .dae file. Does anyone have experience with this? Thank you.

Someone else posted about this in the forum not that long ago, maybe this will
be helpful for you:

Hi and welcome

You need a Studio file (.io), an LDraw file (.ldr or .mpd), an LDD file (.lxf),
a BrickStore file (.bsx), or a BrickLink Wanted List XML file (.xml) to be able
to upload to a Wanted List here.

I don’t know any tool that can convert the generic STL or Collada (.dae) files
to the other formats or to a parts list.

Maybe you can get the parts list from Mecabricks?

Once it’s done, you can upload your file here: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/upload.page
(hover over the white, heart-shaped “Want” icon and click upload).

ONE of your lists has a duplicate and that blocks ALL your lists.

Check on the list of WLs, the culprit should be marked: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/list.page

Then open it, the duplicate(s) should be marked.

Hi,
It was sold 7 times in the last 6 months, so it was available here.
Do not hesitate to add it in your Wanted List and tick the "Notify" box,
you would be warned if a seller add it in his/her store and notify members.

Hi,

If you are on the Buy page (https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/buy.page ), use
the Wanted Items tab on the left (point (2) on the first pic here: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2445
).

Then, when you click on a store (in its line, not its name), it will show what
items they have and if they can provide the quantity (numbers + colour code:
black = no, yellow/orange = partial, green = total qty).

Wow.

You may appreciate free open source:
https://www.brickstore.dev/

Then you've ALL your wanted lists locally, which is far safer.
Then you can upload those you think you need.
And more important edit them locally including automatic ref changes by BrickStore

And also remove parts bought while making diff of the files, or remove from your
shop in a click, etc.

You don’t need to open each and every one of them, but you do need to look at
the list of WLs to see which ones are marked as problematic and then correct
them, one by one.

Wanting to buy poor condition/broken light up lightsaber minifigs.

I've been repurposing poor condition light up lightsaber minifigs to make
custom new characters. I've made a Luke Skywalker and Qui-Gon Jinn and I
have a Darth Maul in progress. I'd like to make more since I have a lot more
ideas for characters but I need more poor condition light up figures to do so
since I don't want to break any good condition ones.

Ones I need should have the lightsaber arm in good condition (no chipped hilts),
and have the light be working (dead batteries are ok, as long as the internals
aren't broken permanently, If you're unable to test I may just take the
chance and buy anyway).

If you happen to have any and are willing to sell please send me a message and
I'll give you an offer.

Thank you.

My daughter wants to use Lego minifigs + accessories as wedding guest favors

help her out? The minifig must be a complete figure but the torso, head, legs,
hair/hat and accessories don’t have to match with a specific set. The idea
is for guests to build a minfig representing themselves and used in a “photo

About 20 Duplo figures would also be helpful for the smaller children attending
the wedding.

Hi,

There’s duplicate entries in ONE of your wanted lists, and that blocks ALL your
wanted lists.

If you go there: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/list.page you’ll see which
WL(s) has duplicates.
And when you visit that WL (or those WLs), the items will be marked.

You need to correct all your WLs before you can do anything else.

Ah looks like I had 1 old variant still in my default list, easy fix. Thanks
so much!

On the other hand who would need this feature while you can send the XML or studio
file to friends, or post your MOC on rebrickable and other places.

I guess they had this idea and then realized it's not worth developping it,
hence the "soon"?

The problem is that not everyone is so tech savvy.

It is easier to just click a button that says "Share" than to download
it as a file, upload the file as an email attachment, download the file again,
and then reupload it to BrickLink.

I sell PDF instructions in my store. I've had to explain to many buyers how
to upload the XML file to their wanted list so they can order the parts. Some
don't even know what the XML file is for.

There are instances where it would be convenient to be able to share a wanted
list with another member:

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1399267
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1448305

But, knowing BrickLink, they may feel that the effort required to develop the
new feature is simply not worth it, even if it would be useful.

Even the effort required to remove the "Coming Soon" text seems too much.

For MOCs, Rebrickable and the Studio Gallery make sharing easier, but that doesn't
work if you just have a list of parts and not a MOC or if your Studio Gallery
listing contains the word "LEGO".

That page should take you to the list of all Nexo minifigs so that you can see
all that exist. From there, if you click on each, you can add them to a Wanted
List (middle of the page with a heart symbol). After you've put together
the Wanted List for all of the figures you're interested in, you can use
the Easy Buy feature to search for stores that match the most/all of your figures.
It'll make carts for each store to allow you to easily buy from stores in

I think you make a good point with this. I actually don't know why I would
want to share a wanted list, ha ha. Maybe only for sets that are not officially
available on BL, such as the sets from the Bricklink Designer Program.
Nevertheless, if you promise a feature, you should deliver on it or see it and
adjust the software accordingly.
