Hello Admin,

I hope I am in the right place.

Is there any reason why Collectible Minifigure's instruction books are inventoried
as each specific minifigure when all instruction books are the same?

This causes confusion for buyers (and annoyance for sellers) who think they are
getting the specific minifigure's instruction booklet when it will just be
a generic book.


So when parting out a CMF, instead of:

(Instructions) for Set col19 Video Game Champ, Series 19


It should read:

(Instructions) for Series 19 Collectible Minifigure


Just my 2 cents... thanks!!

I have a model I designed in 2017 that has 1,600+ parts. I updated the model
in 2020, adding about 150 parts and simplifying the design considerably. However,
I think 80% of the parts are the same between the 2 versions. I'd like to
be able to compare the wanted list from the two models to see what I already
have so that I only order the difference.

  Hello,
Please add "Maximum number of parts" as a Package restriction in the shipping
options. I just had someone place an order for 500 parts; this cannot be shipped
as lettermail, since 500 parts is too big for this option.

You have requested the exact same quite a while ago:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1062347
Like then, I still don't see the issue. If someone places an order for 500
1x1 plates, this will definitely fit Canadian lettermail. I can also easily ship
at least 800 1x1 bricks as lettermail.

Your order of "500 parts" what did it consist of exactly?

Niek.

  Hi is it possible to sort stores not just by price or quantity but by country
or proximity to the home country you select ?

Because I felt on getting stores from all over the place even outside Holland
and then I figured out that the stores in Holland have the stuff I want but it
was not the cheapest way to get the parts .... So I now set it to highest quantity
but ideal I would only easy buy to select : 1 holand : 2 most items in 1 store
: 3 as least stores possible pref just 1 but not 6 like it does now ....

I want only Holland because I will have the bricks sooner as it only takes 1
or 2 days and its cheaper.

Hope you can do this as for now easy buy is far from that sorry.

Thank hope you understand

Use the "Expand" button nearby "Store Filter" to use more filters.
So you can select the store location. You can sort by a specific country, a region
or anywhere.

Use Auto-select on the Buy page ( https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/buy.page
). It has more options.

I recently dowloaded my orders in Excel format here:
https://www.bricklink.com/orderExcel.asp?orderType=received

I've done this before but I am now making a concerted effort to import this
into my own database primarily for tax purposes. I just realized that the process
imports every field except for Tax. Surely this was an oversight since the tax
field was added later. However it is frustrating because it means I still have
to manually search out every Minnesota order manually to calculate my total 2019
sales tax collected.

Surely this will be an easy fix and it can be corrected promptly!

Thank you,
-Chris

On your My Inventory page in the extra options Search My Inventory you can enter
a set number.

  In the price guide it will tell you how many parts you have in inventory
for a set. I want to knw what those parts are.

Check the option Show Items in My Inventory to see if you've got the items
in your inventory on the Catalog page:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogOptions.asp?viewFrom=P

We used to have the ability to do this with a shop's listings, too. You could
see what parts from a set were for sale at any shop. That feature broke when
the site was redesigned and has not been fixed. It would be nice to have it back.
