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

I believe that the shocking lack of categories was one of the loudest and most
frequent concerns about BrickLink XP. It was supposed to make the website seem
less 'confusing' for newbies. I don't see how they can possibly switch
to that catalog structure without dumping the entire idea that BrickLink houses
the best LEGO Reference Catalog. A LEGO representative publicly promised that
the Classic site would continue to be supported no matter what. However, I don't
know how much that promise is worth really...
