| I never use the online Lego inventories, in fact I wouldn't know where to
find them. What I do is print or photocopy the pages in the set instructions
and use those as my primary list for parts that should be in a set. I augment
that with Brickset and bricklink lists.
The 3D function on briclink is especially helpful.

I'm really curious which sets you've run into issues with. I've found
that the Bricklink inventories are far more accurate than the actual LEGO inventories.
The issue with official LEGO inventories is that they don't keep track of
part variants at all. In fact, when a part variant goes out of production and
a new one is added, the official inventories are updated to include the new part,
even if that set never could have contained it in the first place (I first ran
across this with the Cafe Corner set). Bricklink keeps track of specific part
and mold differences, for those that want the most accurate information of what
came in a sealed set box.
Unfortunately, LEGO inventories are good for quantity and color, but for the
actual parts that came in a production set, they aren't always accurate.

The United States has very strict laws regarding content that is shared online
with children, this will complicate BL's legal compliance and if those regulations
are broken because a member on the forum posts an inappropriate comment or publishes
a moc that may be considered violent or inappropriate for kids and each offense
of those regulations carries a steep penalty.
This will make Bricklink's overhead costs much higher and drain resources
from the marketplace.
Nice idea but implementing it doesn't seem realistic or beneficial to a marketplace
platform.

Danger, danger.
If you let kids upload their digital work in the gallery¹, it will soon be even
messier than it is (or than it was at the beginning or the LDD gallery or any
gallery kids can upload their 3-stacked-bricks creations (yes, that’s condescending
but let’s face it, most kids aren’t Mozart)).
¹ If you want to share a WL, you might want to add a picture of the model with
it, and that’s exactly the same thing as uploading to the gallery.
Besides, what’s the purpose of a WL if it’s not to buy it?
So, your kid uploads a WL (or a MOC) on their teen-account, and you download
/ transfer / share it so that you can buy it from your account.
It’s quicker to let them directly upload a WL in your BL account from Studio.
If they are savvy enough to manage what is proposed, they can understand not
to touch your WLs and to name theirs intelligently.
(Studio can upload a WL directly to your BL account in one click.
What it can’t do is make a XML file of the WL so that you wouldn’t need to let
your kid have your BL credentials. It can do a useless CSV though….)

I voted no when you first posted this (not that the site pays any heed whatsoever
at this point in time to suggestions anyway). It's the LEGO Group's
job to market to and interact with children. It's BrickLink's job to
market to and interact with adults. That age separation has worked fairly well
for the last two decades.

|
The primary reason children aren't allowed on here is that they cannot make
legally binding contracts.
The secondary reason is that making the site child-friendly and policing the
interactions between children and strangers on the internet would require more
resources from BrickLink. And seriously, do you really trust BrickLink at this
point to be capable of doing that effectively?

There's no reason why she can't use your account to create her wanted
list with your supervision. I really don't think a change from the site
is necessary or desirable on this issue.

Kids on this forum ? Are you crazy ? Unless they have their own forum, no thank
you. I'm sure the admins will love to moderate that.

Agree with no underage kids in the forum (I recall how that has looked in the
past when they sneak in, LOL).
I also agree with this idea, though - to allow people to make a list for use
that they can publish - not sure how it could best be done, but the idea is solid
in how it could help enhance the ability to bring in new users (adults) to buy,
and kids are super savvy at stuff these days and this could really bolster some
new interest.
My two cents.

Yes, parts lists in set instructions and printed on set boxes are known to sometimes

always steer you wrong. Please provide some examples of this and be specific

We have 15,503 LEGO sets in the BrickLink database, dating back to 1949. Of
those sets, 97.3% have inventories (or parts lists, if you prefer that terminology).
Out of that remaining 2.7% lacking inventories, roughly one fifth are educational
sets and not likely to be found in anyone's attic. If TLG actually does
have a computerized database of inventories prior to 1990ish, then by all means
let's compare.
But our inventories came from what people actually found in LEGO sets. I've
found numerous instances where TLG's data prior to even 2000 is sorely lacking.

BrickLink has the most accurate LEGO inventories anywhere. They are even more
accurate than what is known by the LEGO Group itself. The inventories are constantly

| There is an app online called "Set Finder" (http://www.spoofdata.com/setfinder/?id1=6144805)
which allows the user to enter the part number for several parts then the app
will suggest sets that contain those parts. It is not very user friendly and
part numbers are difficult to determine. The part numbers need to be complete
with colour code (sensible for logically reducing the number of possible sets)
but the numbering systems are not very well explained. In addition there are
different numbers for similar parts e.g. "2 x 4 Brick Red" has at least two different
numbers. I think there is an overlap between parts in older sets that have a
different number than newer sets but it can be quite frustrating.
Perhaps this is a function in bricklink which I have not yet discovered. I rarely
Use "Part Out" so perhaps it is there or if not perhaps that would be a good
place to add the "Set Finder " function.

They're going to make it so that the NPB date is only going to be reset if
the invoice is different from the last one. This will likely be tested by the
order value, so you can still write a reminder invoice with slightly different
text without that resetting the NPB clock, as long as the numbers didn't
change.

| 100% agree, I love that since the XP announcement admins have gone radio silent.
I bet they're rolling in their monumental mess up. Poor Russel has probably
gone into hiding haha

I’d say most of the answers should be in the help pages….
(Brickwilbo points to them when they are. The rest of the time, we copy-paste….)

YES, I fully agree!
ADMIN, this is also an urgent matter for me!
The new rules of invoicing are nonsense

| I know some people might think this isn't a good suggestion, but if you think
about it, how many of us actually leave a personalized feedback? Whenever I look
at feedback that a seller has given, it's usually all the exact same and
usually goes like, "Wonderful buyer, thank you for using our store". I think
an automated feedback system would be nice, especially for the larger sellers
and buyers.
|
I am a fairly low volume seller, but all my feedback is custom. We have a "buyer
feedback first" policy, explained in our terms, but for buyers that never leave
feedback at all, we leave them "no known problems" positive at the 3 month mark,
give or take. Every other feedback has been customised. We mention extra positive
things if there's room.
Maybe I am in the tiny minority. But I've been here since the very beginning
and this is how we always have done things, I can't see leaving cookie cutter
feedback.
I voted yes on the suggestion though. I'd want the autofeedback to be at
the 3 or 4 month mark though, so the date range needs to extend out a LONG way.

I name my Wantlists for their intended porpose.

I, too, name WL's by project name, and I sometimes have a couple of "prioritized"
lists that hold my filler items (interesting items and impulse buys) and find
that this works very well, especially when I remember to update them with orders
to track what I have and haven't ordered.
