Dear BrickLink members,
This month, it will be one year since BrickLink joined the LEGO Group. We have seen many new people coming to BrickLink and a significant increase in site traffic, so we are very excited about our future. As we celebrate this first anniversary, we are very pleased to share details about the future direction of BrickLink.
In the video recording below, Julia Goldin and Marvin Park, the LEGO Group's Chief Marketing Officer and Head of BrickLink respectively, will provide an update on what’s planned. As you’ll hear from Julia and Marvin, the focus is on strengthening the BrickLink organization, creating opportunities for more community collaboration, and allowing you to be even more creative and connected!
Your involvement is very important to us and the success of our common future hinges on our ability to serve you the best we can. We would love to hear from you whether you would just like to share your thoughts or if you have questions. Please post in the forum and we’ll respond over the coming days.
Thank you to all BrickLink members, new and long-standing, for considering BrickLink and allowing us to be part of your LEGO passion.
I sincerely hope that the community engagement come on board pretty quick. The
current setup leaves much to be desired.
If anybody told me a year ago that I would not be able to buy on BL in a ...
Do you have plans on releasing advanced seller tools any time soon?
Do you plan on making the site mobile/tablet friendly?
Do you plan on fully rolling out BL XP? if so, I fear that anyone wh...
Thank you for communicating with us. It is much appreciated.
During this year, the Lego Group acquisition of Bricklink has been very positive.
I can see that a good deal of work has been done, ...
One of the main things I would like to see is less emphasis on sellers being
expected to use instant checkout and for Bricklink to be more accomodating to
those sellers that prefer to check and p...
Excited about the new changes! Personally, I am looking forward to BrickLink
XP. It provides a much more user-friendly experience for buyers. The easier BrickLink
is to use, the more people will ...
When discussing XP, he says "its catalogue" . Is this confirmation that XP will
continue to use a different catalogue to BL Classic as we saw previously, with
many of the original themes removed ...
I'm not quite sure if this is the place, but is there a way you can balance/enhance
the available parts catalog to suit MOC builders? Or give us access to parts
(in colours) normally ...

Good morning and thank you for the announcement
Rather surprised there hasn't been more comments posted as we find the continued
pursuance of XP alarming when so many other things ne...

Nice update, thanks! To be really honest, I'm taking it with a truckload
of salt when I hear these grand ambitions when BL doesn't even have the manpower
to fix an elementary code ...
If there is an emphasis on community, why is there a refusal for Bricklink to
participate on the LEGO Ambassador Network? The Bricklink forum is outdated and
difficult to use, preventing real com...

I could live without the ridiculous catalog changes. And communication could
be better (although it does seem to have improved). Knocking on my wood desk
currently, the website has...

I... feel sorry.
This message seems to be with good intention but lacks the power needed to make
things better.
Bricklink XP might be the best to get new buyers here, but you are miss...
I look forward to what the Bricklink team brings to the table in 2021,
One thing we need if Bricklink is to grow is an app. This should not be a difficult
task, and the traffic that an app woul...
Greetings.
Thank you for the update, yes 2020 has been strange but has not impacted our
business much.
I have a question and a suggestion or two.
Firstly now that it is"officially" known...
Hello,
I'm very dissappointed TLG makes no christmas manger, church building
or noah's ark because it's related to religion. Would there be any chance
of seeing sets like these bei...

Hello,
I rarely post here, because I find this forum so fractious and difficult to navigate.
I rarely read the forum either, assuming that one day our overlords will decide
that the tru...
I was away from BrickLink for about a year and came back recently. The performance
of this site has caused me to look elsewhere for bricks. Difficult to find what
I need. Glitchy performance. Jus...
I'm still really annoyed that I couldn't get a castle but there's
already a bunch on eBay. Plus, it's crappy that your purchases go through
Lego... But don't count towards Leg...
