Please allow us to re-arrange our want lists (click and drag.. or number them)?

Example: When we are adding parts to a certain want list, we don't have to
scroll to add it, we can just move it up to the top which is auto-picked/highlighted.

1) I see there have been other suggestions on updating the Excel format we can
download.
In the meantime, I am using CSV, but most formats have the same problem (for
me) -

In the "detail items" rows, it would really useful if the leading columns were
not blank, but had the data from the initial order row duplicated.

IE, the columns :
Order ID, Order Date, Seller, Base Currency, Shipping, Insurance, Add Chrg 1,
Add Chrg 2, Credit, Coupon Credit, Order Total, Base Grand Total, Total Lots,
Total Items, Order Status, Order Status Changed, Pmt In, Pmt Method, Order Note,
Tracking No, Location

This would allow the spreadsheet to be sorted by any criteria, without loosing
the connection to that 1st row.

In fact, when the detail items are listed, if that data was filled in, then there
is no need for the initial order row.

This is specific to the spreadsheet form, but as CSV is used in the same ways,
I think that should be done the same way too.

I would also make these suggestions -
2) The xml format does not seem to honour the "detail items" option - why not?
3) The file names all seem to default to *.txt - where as .xml .csv etc would
be better

I hope this is useful feedback.
Regards, Ian

Bricklink should implement something in Studio where you can group pieces together.
so that if you were making a robot mask or a robot leg you could make it and
group the pieces together so that they can be easily moved around without highlighting
the entire thing and making mistake in the process.

If a set comes with instructions that are across multiple books please allow
listing each book separately. Many retailers are indicating a specific book
in the description which breaks all of the handy search tools. It also makes
it difficult as a buyer to be sure I'm getting full sets.

As this has been a controversial topic recently, perhaps we should make it a
buyer select-able option.

Allow the buyer to choose to receive paperwork with the order, or to have the
order shipped without paperwork. The seller would then be obliged to follow the
buyer's selection.

thank you, Nita Rae

Hi,

maybe this has been mentioned already: It is super annoying when I browse the
gallery and after a refresh or when I come back later my current position is
gone.

I guess you are using a database with a cursor but isn't it possible to adjust
the url to the current state?

It would be great if I could make purchases from my own store, in a ghost mode
that doesn't allow for feedback and doesn't charge fees.

Often when I'm restoring a batch of used sets, I have a wanted list for each
one of them to figure out what I'm missing. Then, once I go through my unlisted
bulk LEGO, I find that have parts in my store that I need to complete these sets.
The only way I can figure to get those parts is to use the inventory search tool
to select items on my wanted list, pull them from my drawers, and then adjust
my inventory quantities appropriately for each item.

It would be much easier if I could just treat it like a regular sale, so that
I could remove all the parts from my inventory in one operation and then pull
them from the drawers the way I would any other order. Maybe I'm missing
something and there's an easier way to accomplish what I want to do?

When you select the Studio tab and have that page active, the icon description
changes from Market to Shop (the old description). I noticed the font appears
slightly different (I think because the Studio description doesn't bold like
it does when active under Market or Community).

Hello, can Wanted Lists (or all lists) default to an alphabetical sorting or
can we have an option to set an alphabetical sorting by default in our accounts?
Currently it only seems to do this when using your Wanted Lists while in a store.

Also, can we get a Filter/Search option for all Wanted Lists to make it quick
to find multiple Wanted Lists by key word(s)? Currently it only seems to allow
this when adding items to a Wanted List.

For example, the most useful situation for both items is when "moving" parts
between Wanted Lists, as it sorts in order created currently, which does not
make it easy to find a Wanted List at times.

Thanks

Why is it not possible to search for 2, 3 or more items at the same time ?

Often I am looking for more than one minifig and would like to buy them all from
the same store. I can only search for one minifig and manually have to check
each store if they also have the other minifigs I am looking for.

So please: Make it possible to search for multiple items across stores so results
can come up with store that have all the items looked for. It would be a time
saver of gigantic porportions.

Hey there, hope your all doing well!

I wanted to run an idea by you guys see what you think, I think it would be really
beneficial and helpful. In the price guide, for any particular set, you can see
the purchase history ( which is awesome). I was thinking, would there be a way
to add which country an item sold in? I feel like that would give us sellers
an idea where an item is hot, and compare that with the pricing. Anyways I think
it would be great, let me know what you think

Hello,

After hitting a bug where Buy All failed to create orders that totaled my entire
Wanted List (and I didn't realize it until starting to build the models,
too late to ship another order before my time deadline!), I tried to place another
order but search for stores near me so I could pick up locally. I could find
no way to do this.

How about adding a "Stores near me" option in "Sort By" dropdown menu? It could
be based on ZIP code without compromising any store's address. As it was,
I had to manually compare the "284 stores found" list (after I'd limited
it to U.S. stores) with the dozens of stores in my state, finding only two that
matched.

From a programming perspective, it seems like this feature should be easy, with
a big payback in functionality of your wonderful website. And stores still retain
the option to share their address or not, as mine did, after a buyer Contacts
them.

Best regards,
ejv

In Stud.Io's instructions generator, it would be convenient if there were
a feature in the "Global Style" tab that allowed for an image to be posted in
the same scale on every page in the manual. I usually add a small logo in the
corner of each page, and this would make this extremely easier to do, rather
than pasting the image to each page and doing my best to manually put the logo
in the same spot on each page.

It would also be great if this option allowed us to select which pages were to
have the image on it/select pages that wouldn't have the image.

Thanks!

With shipping cost being very expensive where I live I tend to order large quantities
or bricks at once to justify shipping costs. Still, making an order is extremely
expensive for the relatively few pieces I order. I would like a method to cross
reference wishlists with parts available in official sets, so I can buy the sets
that have most of the parts I need and order the remaining on bricklink. This
tool could also be useful to sellers that need to source bulk parts for unofficial
kits, or for just finding the best source of parts.

Hello,

Two related suggestions regarding data that is listed in the My Community Activity
section of the My Activity Page:

1. Add a Likes Posted count.
2. Add a Comments Posted count.

I liked and commented on a MOC yesterday, wanted to go back to that today and
start looking at the build instructions, had trouble remembering where I saw
it and thought that having links to my like and comment would be a convenient
way to flag a MOC as a favorite and provide a quick way to go back to the page.

Of course a person could always save links to a page using their browser but
if the feature was integrated into the BrickLink site then that information could
be accessed from any computer being used to access the user’s account.

Thank you for considering this suggestion.

I would like to have the ability to create discount codes for my store. In some
cases that would be much more convenient than the current system with coupons,
for example if you want to promote your store in social media.

I don't say this should replace the system with coupons, I think we need
both. Of course the codes should be customizable, with settings like expiration
date and how many times they can be used for example.

I just wasted 6 hours placing an order just find out fine print stated I could
only buy lots in quantities of a $1. If this is a stipulation of a seller I
shouldn’t have to sift through fine print to find it. Likely I will not use
this site again until this is fixed. I quickly learned (100) meant quantities
divisible by 100 and when I miss that I am warned which is great and very helpful.
It should be the same when sellers have a stupid rule similar to described.
If a seller wants to have a stupid rule so be it, but it should be more obvious
to the buyer when selecting quantities to purchase.

When I want to order a batch of lego with the suggested combination of shops,
I can add the parts. But when the word FIX appears it does not show what needs
to be fixed, it does not show where the problem is. It shows with which seller
the problem is, but not with which item. If I order 200 items, I can not help
the problem if I do not now which item it concerns. When it recognizes that there
is a problem, it would be nice to see what the problem is so I can fix it and
continue my order.

When I want to place multiple orders with the same shop, the site adds the second
order to the first order. So the bill from the first order is on its way, and
the second bill is not just for the second order, but it automaticaly includes
the firtst order as well.
While I want to have them seperate. Is there a way to avoid this?

The same way it is in sets.

I have some boxes and I see other people
selling boxes only as incomplete gear
and it decreases 6 months average.

The "Part Out" tool feels very outdated, and is tedious to use. One accidental
click on a link, and you loose every data you have put in for each lot.

I know there are third party software used to upload parts to your inventory,
but think a much more powerful way to part out set should be offered by BrickLink.
Maybe a software you download to your computer, but it could also just be a massive
redesign of the existing tool online.

What I miss the most is easier ways to manage lots that already exist in my inventory.
I don't want to open a new page just to check the remarks for a certain lot,
because if I forget to open that link in a new tab I will loose all progress
made with the other lots. This information should be visible on the same page,
or I should be able to open it in a pop-up window.

When parting out huge sets with thousands of pieces, it would also be nice to
be able to save the progress and continue later. Maybe there should be one upload
button for each lot, so I don't have to go through the entire list first
and then submit all changes at once.

There are of course lots of different features that could be implemented to make
the Part Out tool even more powerful, like more advanced ways to set up automatic
prices, like 10% below average etc.
