| It seems the forum isn't getting the same kind of community involvement as
it once did. It is fairly common to see less than 100 messages per day and I
had to go back to July to find a day that had over 200. The way the forum works
right now it can be very frustrating and time consuming finding posts of interest
as even new posts get buried quickly under 2 or 3 more active posts and that
makes it difficult to participate in the forum if you do not have the time to
browse or search through it. In terms of utility the bricklink forum is not as
easy to use and enjoy as say brickset forum. There are a lot of good parts of
the BL forum but I feel it is largely being ruined.
My suggestion is that when a post is responded to the post itself moves to the
top but it doesn't show up as a new message, so if a post is made and has
10 replies it will still just look like one post on the forum. I would also like
to recommend that certain categories get put into a different area apart from
the forum so maybe for example buying and selling, inventory change requests,
and sales posts could be seperated from the rest so they don't bury the rest
of the posts out there and stagnate the forum.
The goal would be to allow more people and ideas to participate in the community.

| Just like Discogs where you can put into an inventory what you have (they name
it collection), it would be interesting to have such a feature.
It's basically a display without having to sell (i.e. right now you have
to be a seller to have an inventory).
I'm using currently wish list of the set I got at the moment and transfered
them into another wish list once I was done rebuilding it... I mean it works
but it's not exactly what wish lists are for!

| we are working on a new generation of creativity
the first image are the kanohi custom i made for Bionicle kanoko.
we love to have new florescent trans-colors.
we have red-orange, neon-lime, florescent-medium-blue. the rarest of all are
neon-bright-yellow and hot-dark-pink that needs work because its not like the
one I remember. because its too dark, and the real deal really pink. described
in the 2nd image.
plus, we need new florescent colors
like... different colors that glow under UVlight. as described in the 3nd image
I got from google.
so the new colors we want/need to try are
neon-turquoise = (neon-green & medium-blue)
florescent-lavender = (hot-pink & medium-blue)
bright-coral = (hot-pink & red-orange)
I hope you like my ideas.

|
| It would be nice not only to have a "new" and "used" condition but also a "damaged"
for parts. E.g. the 2490px2 often has broken clips and is still sold. But searching
for intact parts is a bit time consuming.
I didn't find out if someone else already asked for this feature.

|
| I was wondering if there'd be a possibility of adding box contents to LEGO
sets on here. Something like listing the number of each bag, unmarked bags/unbagged
parts, etc.
I deal with a lot of secondhand sets and come across sets with open boxes (or
like today no boxes), but sealed bags of parts. Today I scored 14/17 numbered
backs for set 10237 Tower of Orthanc. I almost missed out on getting the second
bag #3 because it didn't obviously go with the other bags. Thankfully I
was able to find an old unboxing video on YouTube and figured out I'm missing
3 numbered bags (#1, #4, and one of the two #5s), plus the unnumbered eagle bag.
But usually when I'm in this situation, I haven't been so lucky. It's
especially tricky with sets that have unnumbered bags. I usually end up opening
them to do the inventory if I'm uncertain, but it would be nice to keep them
sealed and be able to know what was missing.
I'd be willing to provide the list for any new sets I open, if it might help
someone else out down the line. It seems like a fairly easy thing and I'm
surprised that, at least as far as I'm aware, there isn't somewhere to
find this information easily (at least for modern sets). Bricklink seems like
a natural place for this information to exist.
I'm not sure how many folks would be interested in that information, but
in the last year I've probably had questions on the contents for close to
10 different sets.
Anyway, I'm not even sure if this is the appropriate place to mention it,
but I thought I'd give it a shot.

| Four pieces that I would like to see added are:
Black Large Figure Torso Skeletal with Gear Hips / Waist / Bottom
Pearl Dark Gray Large Figure Torso Skeletal Connector with 2 Ball Joints
Flat Silver Bionicle Armor Uniter with 2 Pin Holes on Front, Axle and Pin Holes
on Sides
Pearl Gold Bionicle Armor Uniter with 2 Pin Holes on Front, Axle and Pin Holes
on Sides
These four would be very good for 2016 uniter mocs, as it is currently difficult
to make them

| Hey all,
Has there ever been a spot for custom minis? Any way we could add
a spot? Mainly MOC out of existing parts that are out there. Not hand made or
painted parts. Thanks.

|
| Hello! I'm net1986 from South Korea!
I would like to suggest something today.
First of all I apologize for my poor English grammar, please understand.
This is what I would suggest this time.
"I wish there was function to view information of just part product from the
set, Not whole set. And function to order those just part product."
For example,
1. I want to get only police swat van from set 60008 Museum Break-in.(don't
need any part like figs or Museum)
2. But there is only brick information for whole set(Unnecessary a lot of information
confuses me)
3. It takes a lot of hard work to analyze for only just the swat van.
4. And It's very hard to order each part brick for the van
What I mean is that I wish there was a function to view a only part product(just
swat van of set 60008)and I wish I would order those part in way "easy buy".
I know that the "east buy" function already exists.
It's very helpful for restorers.
But now, It adjust only set product or MOC product as I know.
So, I wish the "easy buy" function is more enhanced(add part product from set)
I hope you guys understand my words.
reply me, thanks.
Best regard,
|

|
| The first is folks sending messages directly to my PayPal and BrickLink notifications
email address. Which I don’t check on a regular basis.
Wouldn’t it be better all round if the user email address were hidden? therefore
emails would have to go thru the message system.
Leads to the second. BrickLink notifications are often delayed by two or three
days, then they all come thru together. Which is why I don’t check that mail
box often. Fairly frequently I receive the order placed notification AFTER I
have shipped the order!
I check messages on site, every morning when I first log on.
Also would benefit BrickLink as it would be far more difficult to trade off site,
if anyone were so inclined.
Please give this some consideration, it works well on the other place.
Thanks, Graham

As the number of sets/pieces growing, I need to start cataloging my inventory

Any recommendations for such program to keep track of inventory is appreciated.

|
| I just opened a shipping method that I keep closed to avoid confusion because
it allows an international customer to instant checkout using domestic shipping
rates. It is for international customers who have a friend or forwarding service
in the US, but I keep it closed to avoid accidental or intentional misuse. It
would be handy if I could limit that to a country or to a specific user.

| Is it possible to customize or change the thumbnail size when searching in the
catalog? I'm not sure if it's a setting I missed, but it would be useful
to when you're overlooking an entire line to find something specific.

| Quote system/Cart
Can we get the quote system/cart to be the same as the store cart?
As we all know with the Store cart when an item gets sold or the quantity differs
than you put in your cart, you can adjust the items in your store cart, or delete,
and your store cart is still active, and can remain active until you go through
with the order or empty it completely.
Can we get the quote system/cart to be like the store as well?
Rather than just losing everything in the quote cart when its gets cancelled
by whatever reason, and having to start all over again?

|
| How can you change the Classic Layout. If you are going to make changes to things
it would be the new Layout.
We hate the way they removed the (My Order Note) line from under the order.
Now you have to travel way over to the right to see it, unless you have your
screen so small that you can't read it.
Please change it back.

|
| I am after a few pieces to complete a few kits and am going from one checkout
to another, then to another and then cancelling the orders (before payment) because
the vendors haven't got the "Request a Quote" provision set up.
Clearly it would save a lot of stuffing around if you know the full cost incl
P&H before hand.
Even better - there should be a little icon or something next to the vendors
name to indicate whether they send quotes or not so you don't have to go
through the checkouts to find out right at the end.
This is what I'm experiencing in Australia

| I'm interested to see offers from United States only.
Each time I'm on a hunt for something, I have to open the filtering options
and select selector location United States.
Please make it possible to set a default filter for all searches. It should be
available here: https://www.bricklink.com/searchSettings.asp?viewFrom=P
This will improve the shopping experience immensely.
Thank you.

|
| First: Is this the right part of the forum to suggest features for stud.io? Where
else can I contact developers file bugs, propose features etc?
I think it would be nice to be able to import a sketch, drawing, photo as a background
plane (either xy-plane, one of the three or freely positioned) and scale it to
your needs. I think this would help me designing models way more easily if I
can base it on a drawing, blueprint, etc.
Any opinions on that?

| It would be great if I could change the time zone on BrickLink. Maybe not the

|
| At the moment I have to search very time-consuming for the remarks when distributing
new parts, which are already in my invetory. Currently I always have to jump
into the inventory and take over the remark.
My suggestion would be to transfer the existing remarks already into the corresponding
fields. This function can also be optional (only if I want to transfer the old
remarks).
I would be very happy about this function.
Thanks and greetings

| It would be useful to have an Order status to go between "Received" and "Complete"
- something like "Queried" or "Querying" - for when I have started a communication
with the vendor - it's almost complete, but maybe a part missing?

| I personally am fine with three but I've heard people complaining that 3
stockrooms are very few, as you can have a lot of wanted lists, a lot of featured
items, it's limitating that you only have 3.
I don't think it would be dramatic to increaase this number.
What do you thinK?
