Actually, part (53451) originally came in shiny (harder) plastic when it was
first introduced, but was later changed to matte (softer) plastic. I am not sure
exactly when this occurred, since Bricklink does not differentiate between the
original and revised versions of the part.

Okay. I can see how there could be other such examples of LEGO tweaking materials
from time to time.
Anyway, I think for such little differences, a simple note should suffice (something
like “Early parts came in harder, more shiny plastic.”). There should be no
need for a doubling of all the colours with shiny/matt variants… otherwise we
could also want a new colour for each material (cloth, rubber, paint…). There
is already enough variation in parts in the “same” material and colour to make
them sometimes hard to recognize.

| | To admin,
Regarding parts and colour entry.
It would be good if there were an entry to say whether the colour is matt or
shiny. I have to replace a part on Harry Potter Knight's bus. The original
was shiny black but the part I received as a replacement was matt.
On this particularly set it is rather noticeable so rather than have to email
each seller to ask if they have a shiny black part it would be good if it were
stated. Not sure if Lego make the distinction but it makes a difference to the
look of the set when its a visible part.

All new bricks are shiny. It’s when they are used and get lots of micro-scratches
that they become matt.
Softer materials (plants, horns…) are matt, but I don’t think there are bricks
that come in both ABS and PP or other soft plastic.
So,
either the shiny/matt clash comes from different materials and it’s useless to
differentiate “colour X shiny” and “colour X matt” on BL because no bricks come
in both shiny and matt,
or the shiny/matt clash comes from new/mint bricks vs. older/scratched bricks
and it’s a matter of asking sellers in what condition are their bricks prior
to ordering.

What part are you referring to? Are you sure it wasn't just a worn part?

| I understand your wish.
But if there is one thing that it is not, it is simple.
Making and old site based partly on classic ASP mobile friendly is everything
else than simple.
That is probably why they are going with an app.
Kind regards

| Thanks for the answer!
Very good to know this from a Bricklink administrator!
My post has no intention to speed up the process but to find answers.
I tried to find related posts but I didn't see the post you've shared
now.
I wish you all a good job on this innovation!
I look forward to see the new mobile website.
Thank you for your work!
Marcos

Here is a post regarding the subject from a site administrator:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1030721
Clearly BrickLink is aware of the necessity of being mobile-friendly. I don't
believe a suggestion or a vote by members will speed things up any.
If you'd like to see what's being worked on and what's planned for
the future, then you can check this page (athough it's definitely not a comprehensive
list - BrickArms, for example, which was a new feature, never showed up on the
Roadmap):

| | Hello everyone,
I think it's time to ask Bricklink to make a very simple but very useful
change: a MOBILE-FRIENDLY website!
Nowadays the majority of online worldwide buyers are using the mobile to complete
their purchases.
For example, in China the 83% of customers are buying from a mobile device.
Benefits:
- Buyers are more satisfied and the customer experience would be increased.
- Stores would increase the number of orders received
- Bricklink would have new customers that now are potential customers but, due
to this lack are not customers yet.
The competitor "BrickOwl" has a mobile-friendly website.
But BRICKLINK you are the largest LEGO Marketplace!
Please BRICKLINK, the whole community needs a mobile-friendly site!
|
They are currently in development of an app. Dont know of an ETA for it yet.

Guys please, support my suggestion
