BrickLink Discussion Forum

Here's a thread on Eurobricks about this train. There's mention of some
sets being packed with the wrong color bars, so maybe that was this piece.

Unfortunately, it was too long ago for me to remember.

I like the idea of adding and inventorying these boxes (especially the ones w/o
a peek hole), though I wish it could have been done years ago. Still, as they
say, better late than never.

Wow, people will throw an instant tirade about any new idea we try out. It is
no wonder that the corporate BrickLink employees and developers don't want
to try anything new, either. Everything that is tried receives just whinging
and moaning from the user base. I think I now have a good idea about what drove
Jaclyn away from the site.

In any case, we have heard all of the feedback and will be reversing course on
the inventories. We had planned to make an announcement in a few days concerning
this to ask for feedback on what had been done, but we wanted stuff in place
for users to look at. So this thread was not a complete loss to us, but you did
jump the gun on us, Jonas.

Please bear with us as we work out the kinks.

Hi BL
Unless this already exits in some form (if it do, please inlighten me as to how
it works!), I suggest a button for “show items on wanted lists” when visiting
stores. Quite often when I’m visting stores, browsing around for additional items,
I stumble upon items marked as “on want list”. It would be a lot easier if it
was possible to just see all items in store that are already on my wanted lists,
instead of having to search through 100’s of pages in different categories...
I am aware of the whole ‘buy wanted items’ auto function, so it’s not that I’m
missing... It’s more when already committed to a store, I wanna stock up and
save on postage.

Thanks for an otherwise excellent site!

Wayne's post and others like it, https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1150409

A type of reverse want list. That is, a way that sellers could peruse the current
want lists to specific buyer's needs, to then as a seller, proactively engage
members like Wayne with offers on items they have on their want list.

Kinda like amping-up the want list and selling process, by getting the sellers
more involved in increasing their sales by actually selling

It's just a rough draft of an idea. Limitations, restriction and other refinements
of the idea, expected.

But hey, BL shot-callers, it speaks directly to upping the sales numbers!

I'm not sure that it's only the sun light in itself that causes discoloration.
In my old store inventory, I've found a small number of parts that were

On the other hand, I had the little Filmore VW bus (from Cars) in which certain
colors on one side became discolored.

Hello,
So I am well aware of the "sun burnt" effect on white, blues, yellows, the old

of used Lego with the old light grays and I pulled quite a bit of them out believing
they were discolored by the sun. Upon closer inspection, they appear to be quite
uniform in their color, including underneath, just definitely a different shade
than the others and not quite like the "sun burnt" ones. Does anyone else out
there recall issues with Lego having off color batches on old light grays in
the past like they have trouble with now on the new light bluish grays and yellows?
Thanks in advance for everyone's time.

The picture for this fig is wrong.

I'm confused. The figure doesn't have a picture.

Only kidding. I removed the images just now. How and why did these images get
approved?

Well, the catalog (me) is trying to be more responsive than it has in the past.
That means more and better communication with members, quicker item approvals,
and no more long queues of pending items. One of the casualties of pumping out
catalog entries is that some get in which are wrong.

I have to put some trust in members that items are submitted properly, especially
for new figures for which the assembly instructions are not always immediately
available. Sometimes that trust is repaid and sometimes it ain't. I have
a decent memory and submissions from the member who submitted these entries will
be checked carefully in the future.

It's a messier method in some ways, but I believe the benefits to members
outweigh making sure a catalog entry is absolutely perfect in every way before
approval. That's what change requests are for. This is not to say that
I don't check and occasionally reject things, of course. I'm just not
going to hold catalog entries forever, especially not desirable new items which
can easily be corrected. The inventory administrators, as Randy said, also sometimes
catch errors during the inventory process.

Having said all that, it was my fault that I approved these images/figures when
they were incorrect and I apologize for the error. I believe the instructions
were already available when I approved those figures with those images and I
neglected to download and check the set instructions regarding the correct assembly.
As you've noticed, the images are gone now.

This one is up to the admins. The 1st assembly shown in instructions is the
standard w/ legs. I think this version is a good addition to the catalog, but
it may not fit the catalog policies.

There's kinda only one CA for now, and it's me. If the figure does not
match the assembly first shown in the set instructions, then it's off to
deleteland for that figure, which is where this figure has travelled.

Thank you for bringing these issues to my attention.

And I think on the seller's side of the interface, it should also warn that

the sellers responsibility to make sure that they have it all covered, it's
not rocket science. But it is true it takes some concentration and staring at

Instant checkout isn't so simple. You can think you have all bases covered,

In addition, we have no way to test our setup or see a buyer's cart to troubleshoot
an issue.

I use instant checkout, though I would never recommend, as I'm certain to
have lost orders because of it not functioning quite right.

A size restriction sounds ridiculous, I never saw that... How can a buyer possibly
anticipate this? There's no way of knowing how big your order is going to
be, nor is it the job of the buyer to be a mathematician even if it was. I think
sellers should have shipping methods ready for all sizes.

But sounds like the lot average problem could actually be fixed by Bricklink
itself. If they flag stores who use it properly, it will solve this frustration
instantly for every store that uses it. And is this lot average indicated in
the listings, in the same way that minimum order is? I really think it should

Minifig sh104 is incorrectly labelled as Power Man (Victor Alvarez). I don't
know where this confusion comes from, but this figure appears in the Ultimate
Spider-Man line that is based on the cartoon series of the same name. This is
what Power Man (Luke Cage) looks like in that cartoon. Victor Alvarez is a different
character that has only appeared in the comics and who has a similar appearance
to Luke in the cartoon. But officially and canonically, this is Luke Cage.

This distinction is important because Luke Cage is a very well known and popular
Marvel character that has appeared in several media including two seasons of
Netflix television, while Victor Alvarez is relatively obscure character that
has not been adapted into other media.

Please consider creating 3 options for wanted list viewing among users.

Private:
Default option. No one else can see your any of your lists.

Limited:
Much like reserving items where you enter a user name. This would allow one
person of your choosing to view a specific list.

Public:
One or all of your lists can be seen by everyone.

I recognize that this isn't the most important upgrade that is needed, however,

Thank you for the info.

Something weird about the below subject. The rollover icons themselves can be
clicked on like a regular link in addition to the rolled over options.

To oversimplify what's actually going on here is this: Those top nav items
are not links. They are "rollover detectors" tied to a script. When your cursor
hovers over one of these areas, it triggers the script which then shows the dropdown
box containing links to pages. As the top nav items are not links, the browser
can't give you the right-click options to open the link in a new window because
the items aren't links. The items in the drop-downs are links, but the top-navs
aren't. Clicking the top nav activates something in the script which then
takes you to a page.

Ideally we should be able to not only see the number of needed lots, but also
the quantity of parts still required for each wanted list.

P.S. If someone were to analyse what functions each feature offers before designing
an upgrade, I'm reasonably confident that there will be less complaints about
missing features.

Measure twice, cut once vs. measure once, cut it too short and have to start
all over.

P.P.S. Tutorials on how to use new features would also help. Maybe info/features

This can even happen with honest people that don't intend to cause issues.
A seller gets extremely ill, coma, death, and is unable to ship the goods.
Unfortunately, it happens. I've read of at least 3 deaths, 1 coma, and various

I've noticed an issue with the price guide. Often times, the price guide
is inaccurate with sets because it doesn't differentiate between complete
and incomplete items sold. Often times sets without figures or just a small piece
of a set is sold that throws the values off.

I think that it would be a good idea to mark sets that are sold as incomplete
on the price guide and for these sales not to reflect the 6 month averages.

Good afternoon

I think the minifg cas102 (Black Falcon - Light Gray Legs with Black Hips, Dark Gray Chin-Guard) should include quiver, as other similar figures do (eg cas005).
This figure only appears in a set (6057-1) and in the instructions appears with the quiver. Thank you. Regards. Daniel

In the forum I may see a red box under a seller's name. I hover over it

I go to their store, and the message at the top is "Seller does not ship to me".

I can't help it, the second message hurts my feelings!

Is there any way we can make the messaging consistent with the actual reason

However, this does not mean it comes without consequence. There have been several

of course, you have right. But if a buyer see a weight in his shopping cart,
and that weight is not really correct, how you can explain problem to the person.
He see that weight, and it's correct for his mind.

A lot of sites let you click on a tracking number and it takes you right to that
carriers tracking page and shows where your item is. Maybe bricklink could have
sellers "choose a carrier" and then put in the tracking number. Bricklink could
turn that tracking number into a link on the order page. Not sure how all the
fancy stuff works but I didn't see this suggested and it would be really
nice to not have to open a new window all the time.

Too bad. I have many big projects that I'd like to start, but this is really
a deal breaker. I guess I'll just continue to buy off of ebay for bigger
lots/sets instead.

For me this feature was all about choosing the best overall value when considering
the price over the number of lots on my wanted list I could fulfill. I also
found myself being able to place larger $ orders to maximize shipping costs.

The old way works, however, it takes substantially more time than I wish to give
up just for shopping and probably placing more orders than really needed. I'd
rather be building.

That is already in the guidelines. Whether or not it is enforced is beyond

One thing that would help with this is to disallow a set that is missing instructions
from being considered complete. I just looked at the 4 cheapest NEW 10179's
and they are missing instructions, stickers, box. One even has stated that a
reproduction instruction book is included and is listed as Complete.
