I'm not entirely convinced that violence is the solution to this problem.
However, I agree that there could be improvements on the definition and classification
of gear, books, and sets.

Here's two pictures of a middle-eighties version with 3242d.

P.S. The box shown in the pictures is dated 1981, as the 1981 mini train catalogue
confirms.

Elias is right, 7860 came out at least at first (1980-1981) with 3242a, then
it was replaced with 3242d, and finally at the end of the eighties with 3242b.
Take a look at the attached pictures, in particular the front and back of the
box.

You only need to look at sets (sorry, gear) like this to see why ...

[g=3866]

Or this one:

[g=852293]

The box was given it's own gear item number instead

[g=852293stor]

Also... it just boggles my mind that an item with 2,292 LEGO pieces is classified
as gear and not a set. Whoever thought that was a good idea needs a good, swift
backhand.

Well at least it says "set" in the title and it is not described as a "chess
gear"...perhaps they were hedging

  For sets there is a box entry but WHY NOT FOR GEAR?? the only way to sell the
boxes is by going through the set entry and then place a comment 'only the
box', but this is very confusing and not helping those who are actually selling
the gear that is complete.

And how difficult can it be??

Yes please.

  At present I can do a great deal from the myBL page

change orders,
report problem order
inventory
add/change catalog etc

I don't see any purpose to changing this to a streamlined version.

The graphics are big, but how big do they need to be to see orders pending, orders
awaiting payment orders awaiting shipment? It is a lot of wasted space.

I would like to be able to x out certain displays, ie the feedback.

I don't understand the purpose of the change? is it to enable mobile? because
a phone app seems vital.

Aside from that, if working from my PC, I like the current set up and don't
see why change to the new would be mandatory.

There seems little point to telling people to complain to help desk or make constructive
criticism there as it fails to get a feeling from community.

Note also, I am making PRAISE: the current myBL page works.


I find much of the old one completely unnecessary, especially everything in the
lower half of the page. Nearly everything in the site map is unneccessary for
the MY BL page - it isn't about me. I'd prefer a cleaner page with a
single link to the site map for those that want to access it, rather than everything
in the site map on the MY page. After all a lot of that stuff is not about ME.
For example, the catalog section is not about ME and it is all accessible from
the SHOP tab. Same with stores. The forum stuff is accessible through the COMMUNITY
tab and so on and so on. Very little of that information is actually about me,
my store and my orders. It doesn't need to clutter a page about me, especially
if all of it is available within the menus.

There are so many links close together in the site map that they are next to
impossible to click on and get right first time if you are on a tablet or
worse on a smartphone. I'd much prefer an icon based screen with clickable
pictures rather than text links, even on a PC. I hope it is not just the My BL
that gets updated like this, but all pages.
