| Hello! Perhaps this is answered already somewhere else on this website, but I
couldn't find. I'm not a regular user of BL and only bought bricks in
the past from various shops, but now I noticed the BDP.
The BDP lists quite a few nice sets which, in series 3, are not available for
purchase (instructions, part list). This is confusion nr. 1. Why would the creator
of a MOC on a platform that is primarily designed for shopping, not sell at least
the instructions, no matter if they take part in the sort of competetion that
the BDP seems to be? I know, BL is made to buy bricks or also sets, but not instructions.
However, series 2 sets can be purchased. There comes confusion nr. 2. As it seems,
you cannot just buy the instructions, like you would on Rebrickable. Why? I mean,
if I happen to have all the parts of a nice MOC already, why buy any brick? Ok,
another thing BL was not made for parts management. I have my parts collection
over on Rebrickable, but the challenge would be to bring the parts list of a
MOC from BL, BDP or not, over to Rebrickable to see what parts am I missing.
So the optimal solution would be, the designer/creator of a set would also offer
the list and instruction for purchase on Rebrickable, which most likely some
of them do, but in my case where I looked up two MOC designers from series 2
and 3 on Rebrickable, they were not to be found. Confusion nr. 3. What is the
designer's goal by listing his/her set in, obviously, just the BDPand just
on BL? Is it just to show it? Don't they want make money from selling instructions?

| I know there are global search settings, but they're only a few. I'm
in Germany and usually want to find parts from sellers in Germany, because of
shipping time and shipping costs.
So, by now, I have to activate "Ships from: Germany" every time I do a search.
Every time!
That is so annoying. My suggestion is: either make this a global search setting
or store my last settings in a cookie so that I don't have to select this
every time.
Thank you!

| Hallo!
Ich bin neu hier und zu Bricklink gekommen, weil es an Studio gekoppelt ist.
Die Software finde ich ziemlich genial. Nun hat man ja auch eigene Sets und findet
hier MOCs mit kompletten Teilelisten und will die vielleicht bauen. Da können
die eigenen Teile aus Sets oder Reste helfen.
Kann bricklink.com das irgendwie wie rebrickable.com, daß man seine LEGO-Sets
auflistet, damit die Datenbank weiß, welche Teile man hat und einem dann sagen,
was zu einem MOC oder sonstigen Set noch fehlt?
Ich finde da irgendwie nichts.
