Dear Bricklink Admins

I am worried and hope you can help me.
I have just visited the new Bricklink R3 Website and I have a few questions about
this future website.

Altough it looks visually very pleasing, I hvae two concerns / questions.

What happenes to the other 3 Categories Gears / Catalogs / Books? Are they going
to be
deleted? Will it be not anymore possible to buy old OFFICIAL Lego catalogs on
Bricklink?

Secondly, are you going to delete the Sub-Themes /Sub-Categories?
There is only castle and all castle sets cannot anymore be divided in sub-categories,
which was very handy in order to find certain sets?

Is this just an early version of the upcoming website or are these the final
changes?
I really hope Bricklink won't lose that much of information, possibilities
and content!

With the kindest regards
Barthon

Forgive if this suggestion has already been made. (I've not had much success
using the search function on this site, to see if it has already been suggested.)

It looks like it is a fairly recent feature to be able to put a checkbox on multiple
wanted lists on the left side at https://www.bricklink.com/v2/wanted/buy.page
.

I use some of my wanted lists as a sort of recipe of submodules I build. It
would be good if the checkbox could be augmented to be a count or a multiplier.
Imagine looking at a recipe and wanting to double it or triple it. Instead of
just searching the stores for a combination of List A and B and C, could I search
the stores for a combination of 2 copies of list A and 3 copies of list B and
1 of list C, etc.?

Hello, I love Bricklink, but I'd love to be able to search for a minifigure
and see them in chronological order by release date, or the Bricklink Item
Number. For example, when searching for "Nya" or "Lloyd", and then ordering by
Bricklink Number, it would look like:

njo012
njo054
njo126
njo378

etc. I hope you can add this feature! Thanks for the response.

The Problem:
It currently takes me hours to "plan" my trip to the PAB wall. First, it takes
me a while to research what's on my local wall (which for me is a 6 hour
drive to Auckland), and then it takes some considerable time to match up my Wanted
Lists to what's on the wall. Wouldn't it be great if I can just "hit
a button" and check what's on my local PAB wall that I want? Is it worth
popping into the LEGO store this trip? Wouldn't it be even better if I could
get an email notification that my local PAB has parts I'm interested in?

I could see this feature, which would be a small project in and of itself (in
Scrum speak, this would be the Epic), rolling out in these kinds of steps:

1. Provide a way to submit the local of a PAB for approval to list. (I'm
not sure if all PAB's are LEGO owned or just licensed)
2. Provide a way for either PAB store staff, or community members, to be added
as gardeners of the wall to be able to keep them up to date.
3. The PAB wall is just a register of a part, a colour, a notional quantity(In
Stock|Running Low|Out of Stock), and the date the wall manifest was last updated.
4. When viewing the PAB wall, also show the number of that parts that is on my
wanted list where need qty
5. Add an option to email me when a new item on my wanted list gets listed.

I think this would be a fantastic addition and generate a lot of interest amongst
LUGs as well as generating more interest in BrickLink in general (rather than
it happening off-property on Facebook or other Social Media sites).

I've already written most of the code for this myself (Node.js, SQLite) but
it's extremely cumbersome to keep my wanted lists up to date (would love
a BrickLink API for that). The software itself is not particularly hard to write.

I would be more than happy to code this feature for BrickLink if such a think
was even possible (if so, reach out to me at https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreweddie/).

Thanks in advance for your thoughtful consideration.

This is probably more of an end user thing, rather than something that’s going
to help anyone sell anything, but I’ve always thought it would be handy if I
could create a collection of the sets I own. Then being able to ask things like:
whether I have have a particular part in my current sets, which of my sets does
this piece come from, etc.

I’ve had a search through past suggestions and can’t find anything quite like
this, but can’t imagine this hasn’t been thought of before. Or maybe it’s yet
another feature that’s buried in the interface that I haven’t found!
