Please don't let the sellers change status to shipped until the item in in
possession of the shipper. I have orders go a week with the USPS status being

So, I know this is a pointless vanity feature, but Bricklink seems to remember
who I have bought from far beyond any information on the order itself, and I
think it would be cool to have a map showing everywhere I have purchased bricks
from. Having it very specific and interactive would be neat, but even as simple
as state/country and number of orders would be interesting to see.

Better Wanted List <-> Orders communication.

Viewed:

I'd like to see better communication between the Wanted List and Orders to
help track what I'm after and what I have ordered. Currently it all needs
to be done manually and as a result I have accidentally ordered the same set
of parts for a project multiple times.

An example of improved functionality; if I place an order that contains a piece
on my Wanted Lists the order system could add a remark saying how many have been
ordered and the order number (with a link to the order if possible). If the piece
appears on multiple lists it would add the remark to them all.

I'd also like to be able to automatically update my Want and Have numbers
in my Wanted Lists when I Complete an order. The simplest implementation would
allow me to nominate which Wanted List I want to update; a more complex implementation
would be smart enough to match Completed orders against all or multiple selected
Wanted Lists.

Thanks for reading,

Andrew

Hi! We've seen an increase in NPBs lately which holds up inventory for 12-19

Thanks for reducing the time for filing NPB to 5 days. But can we also reduce
the time it takes to complete the NPB process and cancel the order from 7-14
days to 2 or 3 days?

Being that we no longer wait for mail delivery of checks or money orders, 7-8
days total is plenty of time for Buyers to submit payment.

There needs to be a better way to deal with item removal requests. I have been
waiting for an invoice to be sent and had to ask my seller when I could expect
an invoice. They then informed me that I needed to approve the item removal first.
If I had not sent the inquiry, I would not have even known and possibly had a
NPB filed against me. This is unacceptable!

1) All item removal requests need to come through Bricklink and the buyer's
e-mail.

2) An alert should be shown on the buyer's Bricklink account with a red exclamation
mark or something similar next to the "My BL" just like there is a
green dot when logged in.

3) A link to the "Item removal" page should be under the "purchases"
heading when I hover my mouse cursor over the "My BL" icon.

But being able to do it immediately would make some parts of my work in my store

This has been a pain point for many users, and while work arounds do exist, it
is frustrating that this still exists.
I'd love to see the Wanted List code updated to allow the easy combination
of several Wanted Lists into a single new Wanted list while maintaining the existing
lists, and also the ability to easily modify the quantity of elements on existing
wanted lists. If the element appears in the wanted list in more than one color
it's a pain to try to add it in my experience. When I try to modify the quantity
I get an error message.

I'm not a complete newbie user, but am not a power user by any means and
don't have the spare time to become one.

I love the addition of Collections to the database. My suggestion is that there
should be some form of quick add when you click on the pop-up of the minifigure
or part. It would save the extra step of navigating the product page and inputting
it in your collection.

Another suggestion would be to have some sort of check mark when you look up
pieces and figures in the database, so you can make a quick determination of
what you have in your collection and what you still need. An example would be
looking up Avatar minifigures and seeing that you have 6 of the figures in your
collection (and if you wanted to complete your collection would need to get the
rest).

Thanks!

Part out sets - include counterparts

[Yes|No]

Hello, I often use the part out function to create an individual wanted list
for a set. Then I delete the parts I already/still have and finally I have an
actual wanted list to complete my set.

Part Out allows you to part out minifigs as individual parts and I can chose
to include extra parts. But unfortunately, counterparts are not included.

I would love to have the opportunity to include them as well or even replace
them with the individual regular parts while creating the wanted list. Mostly
this ist related to sticker parts. When I complete a set, I need the counterparts
with stickers on, not the plain parts.

Right now, I have to add each counterpart manually after creating the wanted
list and delete the plain regular parts.

Is it possible to add an function "include counterparts" in the Part
Out process?

I don't know if this feature exists at the site and I just don't know

similar to adding things to a cart, and then search for sellers having all the
items on the list. Buying from multiple sellers increases cost due to separate
shipping from each seller, so I try to order all my parts from a single seller
when shopping. However, finding a seller having all the parts I'm looking
for in the quantities I want is a tedious task.

Hi Amazing BrickLink People

When in the "Sellers Selection Page there is a "More Options" button
that enable us to select a specific country.
That button is on the Right Hand Side.

Could it PLEASE be placed on the Left Hand Side.

The Page opens on the Left Hand Side.
The Country Select Button is on the Left Hand Side.
The number of items per page is on the Left Hand Side.
Just about everything is on the Left Hand Side.
Having the More Options" button on the Right Hand Side means we need to keep
going back and forth across the screen - on a phone this is particularly annoying.

Even the "Search" button could be placed on the Right Hand Side.
There is plenty of room there that is not already taken by anything else.

Also, can the "number of items per page" default to a much higher number
- 25 is way too low - I always change it to 500

Huge Thanks

I have a buyer who must not be checking their junk/spam mail and hasn't said
a thing until yesterday when they sent me a message verifying if I had received
payment and if we were good to go. ... The package and drive thru message were
sent on Monday for Friday delivery.

They read (but did not respond to) questions I had prior to shipping, so I know
they are at least checking messages here. But it would be helpful to know if
they're reading everything, and the only way to do that is through the BL

I got in trouble the other day placing an order because I sorted my Wanted List

Where I cam undone was there were several items that my "Have" was large
but my "Want" was even larger. These got buried way down towards the
bottom of the list, and I didn't notice they were there.

Adding (with a very simple bit of math) a "Need" value, and being able
to sort a Wanted List by it would allow users to prioritise those items they
need the most of.

I only have a small store with limited storage space so I can't drop all

same draw. I then use remarks to keep track of the draw numbers.
At 2am today, having almost finished logging a couple of 2000 peice sets, while
moving between screens, instead of switching tab, I closed the one with the almost
complete verification and so losing all the remarks. I now have to go back through
the whole process again but this time laboriously and methodically opening draws
and then finding the corresponding parts in the list.
I can't believe that a process that can take hours to do, has no built in
protection from accidents.

I like to buy the correct variants, I try to list the correct variants too. Sometimes
(a) variant might be 0.05c and the (b) variant can be $2

there are a growing number of sellers listing the (a)0.05c part variant in the
(b)$2 variant category and then writing they have a variant policy (basically
they don't sort the variant) but this is clearly a deceptive policy
because they will 99% be selling the (a) variant in the more expensive (b) variant
category to maximise profits.

This is very annoying firstly because when I buy the parts, I want the correct
parts, sometimes I have to buy the part two or three times before I get the actual
correct part/variant I want, if a set comes with (a) I want (a) not (b), if I
wanted (b) I would buy from the (b) listing!,

should I have to email the seller every time asking if it is indeed correct,
It kind of slows down the ordering process a lot

and secondly it effects the analytics of the value of the correct variant.

Include a big warning on orders that have tax

Viewed:

192 times

Topic:

Status:

Vote:

[Yes|No]

Since marketplace tax inception, there have been countless posts about sellers
not understanding why they can't change an order to Paid/Shipped etc when
they've received payment by PayPal offsite. This is not impacting only small
sellers. The following two very recent threads are from a small store, and a
very large store:

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1395788

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1398000

As it obviously not clear to many, especially those who have been around for
a while and have previously had no problems accepting any kind of offsite payment
such as e-transfers, cash, direct PayPal payments, etc... It would be beneficial
to have a warning at the top of an order page to the seller to say that this
order has automatic tax collection on it, and should not be shipped if payment
was received offsite as payment must be made onsite (and a link to the page explaining
marketplace tax collection). This primarily impacts manual invoices.

Even that I'm not sure will catch 100% of these issues, but it could help
reduce them, and provide more awareness for sellers. Of course, if everyone used
100% IC a lot of these issues could also be alleviated, but BL does not have
any of the features of a more robust marketplace for handling shipping (such
as API integration with shipping partners, or even more granular shipping table
control). Speaking as a Canadian seller, our country alone has the most vast
variance of shipping rates I think I've ever seen, and we can't even
break down by province (which isn't granular enough either anyways due to
remote postal codes).

Long-term, I believe that more development on the shipping side for sellers could
alleviate many of the residual issues for more IC adoption. But a short-term
warning on these orders could cutdown a lot of the headache for both sellers
and BrickLink.

I am out a lot talking to people about what a great platform Bricklink is and

it out.
What I would really like is a way to promote new users coming to Bricklink and
my store. Something like a 5% coupon at my store when someone signs up.
I can't give them a coupon now until they sign up, but that brings in a lot
of work for people. They have to sign up and message me with their user name,
and wait for me to get back to them with the coupon. Not as fun as checking
out my store and placing an order right away.
.
The coupon should have some controls. Thinking fixed time, probably 120 days
from when I create it. That way I can keep it fresh. And I would like it one
time use per person. After they place an order I can give them discounts through
existing system.
.
New users are fundamental to Bricklink. This also helps everyone else because
after they are here they will find all the wonderful other stores out there (yours).

Here are two suggestions about wanted lists.

1#: Be able to automatically add the quantities of pieces in the ''Have''
section to put the same quantity as the ''Wanted'' section. That
way, when parting out a set in our wanted list, we could immediately have it
as complete instead of having to change the quantity we have for each piece.

#2: To be able to choose how we want to sort our Wanted list, and have it remain
sorted as we want even after leaving the site. For example, wanted lists are
automatically sorted by ''newest''. Therefore, I prefer to have
them sorted by ''completion''. But each time we return to the
wanted list home page, they are automatically sorted by ''newest''.

New sellers listing (almost) everything "new"

Do sellers really think that it's ok to list an undamaged part or figure
in "new" condition? I keep seeing stores that have descriptions of their
"new" figures as "mint" or "great condition" and then
95% of their used figures have damage that has to be noted like:

"FIGURE IS GREAT CONDITION!, except the torso is cracked and there are scratches."

I've sold thousands of used minifigures and probably 10% of them have had
damage that's required adding a description. Are these the unluckiest resellers
in the world or perhaps there's something fishy about all of their "new"
figs...

Hi,

I would like to show the shipping speed to the buyer. You can enter the speed
already in the shipping method but I also would like it to appear in the drive
thru email. My suggestion is to add a macro tag call ORDERSHIPPINGSPEED to display
it to the buyer in the following way:

...order #ORDERID was shipped today and should be reaching you within ORDERSHIPPINGSPEED
business days!...

becomes

...order #xxxxxxxx was shipped today and should be reaching you within 1-2 business
days!...

I hope this can be added. I cannot post with the brackets, but I hope it's
clear enough.
Sincerely,
Max

To whom it may concern,
I have some suggestions for the new "My Collection" function of the website.

1) The addition to add "notes or remarks" next to each entry in the collection.

2) The improvement of the various thumbnail images in the "Gear" section
of "My Collection" - once searched for an item via the "Add Gear"
text box, the condition is set and then the item is added. Some of the images
have classic black and white "broken image" symbol, yet some others do
have their image thumbnails viewable.

Please refer to the attached uploaded image.

While buying parts for old sets it happened to me several times that the auto
select function will choose the cheapest part(not so bad at all) but paying 1,49€ for
a flag with both clips broken(or shields without handle) and reconfiguring all
carts is really painful.

Also if the parts could be marked as broken they could be excluded from price
guide and prices would be more accurate.

I mean i get that when i can get a horse barding with broken clips for 8€ instead
of 30€ it is nice to have the option. But using the autobuy in that case is really
useless.

This was suggested 12 years ago, but never got an admin response: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=499767

Rebrickable does something similar with its promotional DUPLO brick entries and
LEGOLAND giveaways. Currently, the “My Collection” feature here does not allow
you to add non-production parts to your collection. This would circumvent that
issue.

Adding rare parts to a dummy set would also allow them to show up on the color
guide page under the ‘Parts’ category, which could help bring attention to stores
with these special parts. Furthermore, this could help reduce the amount of erroneous
listings, as some sellers might give their discolored plate a second thought.

We do something similar with BAM parts. Why not these?

Hi

While looking for some parts I came across this part.

This is not the first time I have come across this type of pricing, it seems
to happen on a very regular basis. I do believe that a store owner has every
right to charge whatever they desire for whatever they are trying to sell.

The issue I have is the way this price is screwing up the price guide and parting
out guide.

Would it not be a good idea to filter out, say the highest 1% of prices, and
1% of the lower prices when calculating the average price to be shown on the
guides. ( Like they do in sporting events like ice skating, gymnastics etc )

Just a thought.

( I apologise to the store owner for any embarrassment I may have caused. This
was not my intent )

To whom it may concern: We have had a rash of NPB orders and we are looking
for some type of change in the wait time that sellers need to endure, before
we are allowed to cancel the order. We feel that 3 days to wait before a seller
is allowed to file a NPB; 4 days to wait for a buyer to cancel the NPB if there
is not contact by the buyer; and 5 days to wait until an order can by cancelled
if the buyer actually contacts us. The current # of days to wait to cancel an
order is tying up our inventory and thus we cannot offer these items to prompt
paying customers.

to change delivery address in the form, but there I cannot change country. Instead,
I have to mess in the profile menu to change the default address to my relative's
address. (And after the delivery, back to my address). Or another way to do is
to inform the seller to send the Lego items to another address which differs
from what is in the order form. If the seller accidentally omits that information,
(s)he ships that package to me, which I don't want in that case as mentioned
before. And this situation is a nuisanse for both the buyer and seller, and may
lead to unnecessary bad ratings. Please, change this feature.

When shopping using the wanted list all available parts are listed showing from
which wanted list that particular part is included. That is great. Once you create
a shopping cart the info from which wanted list is gone. It remains lost when
an order is created.
Since I am working with 30+ wanted lists per project, it is really really time
consuming when receiving the parts to reconcile to which wanted list each part
received is. It is especially time consuming since I delete the purchased parts
from the order list so I do not double order them.

I am suggesting keeping the info from which wanted list each part of an order
is.

Is that possible?

Hi guys,

I'm an extensive personal user of BrickLink to prepare and buy all bricks
for different projects (1 project = 1 wanted list).
Ordering in BrickLink is great. However, when I receive my order, it is currently
super painful to reconcile the order with my wanted lists, i.e. increment the
"Have" part of each item in a wanted list according to all or part of
number of bricks of this item received from my order.

As BrickLink has all the data needed in the order and in the wanted list, could
you develop a user-friendly reconcilation feature ?

I have written some specification proposals here (see directly on page 8 the
GUI I'm suggesting - also in screenshot below in this post): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YYR_mlCH0xA4bz8Qxkit_CMXWomvR50RIfNHau0AMm8/edit?usp=sharing

Such a feature would save hours of painful clicks and navigation to the user.

Let me know the feasibility to implement such a feature

Thanks in advance,
Jonathan.

Select All Check Boxes Inventory Details Page

Hello,

I have found great use of the "Search My Store Inventory" feature, but
have come across an annoyance when using it sometimes. I frequently use the feature
to search through my stockroom using specific remarks, then moving most, but
not all of the stockroom inventory to my stores for sale inventory. But on the
Inventory Details Page that I see when using the search function, I have to manually
select every item I want to move in/out of stockroom, which is quite tedious
if I am selecting 95 of the 100 items on the page that shows up.

I was wondering if 3 check boxes could be added at the top of the Inventory Details
Page that would select/de-select all of the "Retain", "Stockroom",
and "Delete" Boxes respectively.

If so, then given the example above, I could un-check all 100 of the stockroom
boxes with one mouse click, and then re-check the 5 that I would want to stay
in the stockroom.

I tried hunting around for a setting that might hold such a feature, but have
not found anything so far. I know there is something similar in the "Update
My Store Inventory" section, being the "Update only items which have
_____ in whole/partial field of remarks". But I find that this feature isn't
super useful to me, as I prefer to see the images of the parts/items that I will
be placing in/out of stockroom that are shown on the Inventory Details Page.

I have attached a photo trying to show some of what I have been talking about.
Please excuse the poorly drawn arrows and oval. The arrows are pointing to the
check boxes I was talking about, and the oval/circle is an example of a possible
place to put the select-all boxes.

Any advice is appreciated, especially if I have missed something. Also, please
disregard this suggestion if it would be too complicated to implement.

Thanks for your time,

Alizarin

It seems to me that this function/information disappears when an item is sold.
This is not good, as I have painstakingly used this field to locate where sets

away all my sets in various locations round the house and I am sure there are
other sellers who do this. It is impossible to remember where everything is
put and at the moment I have a notebook for reference. But if the ‘My Remarks’
was carried through to the list of items sold, for the sellers information only,
my notebook could be dispensed with! How about it?

I mainly sell parts and minifigures as they are easier for me to manage and process
orders on a daily basis quickly and efficiently however at certain times of the

and often require a different degree of care/time in terms of packing/shipping
organisation I would like to be able to choose to stockroom all my sets at the
click of a button and at any given moment therefore is there an option to do
this and if not am I the only person who would find this useful?

Perhaps others would be opposite and prefer certain periods to only sell sets
and be able to stockroom all their parts when they are too busy to process those
kinds of orders?

In truth since people use stockroom feature for other purposes stockrooming all
their items on/off in any given category may mess things up for them so maybe
it just needs an additional hide feature where you can basically hide all sets
from store, hide all parts from store or hide all minifigures from store depending
on what types of items you don't want to be processing/selling at any give

Hi,

After I encountered the 5th seller that is blocked by the Bricklink and not by

This problem is not solved by month now and it is getting worse. It starting
with a shop in Italy about half a year ago. I just ordered and then the next
one was suddenly blocked.
Now I encounter this in diffenrent countries though the whole of Europe.

I cannot order with sellers that I am used to order. Because you block the possibility
to finalize the order with the remark 'Seller does not ship to you',
which is obviously not truth.
When I search the catalog (evey store shipping to the Netherlands) the shops
are still there. But when enter the shop[ and I try to order it is blocked. I
mailed the sellers, and they say they already brought you up to speed, but it
is still not solved. And we are month further now.

What is going on? I order a lot of parts from other countries, so this is starting
to be really annoying.

I hope you can mail me an answer to this problem.

from the order for a particular item.

Also, from the order details page, add a hyperlink to set the order to "Complete"

If I go to my wish list and "ADD ORDER" allow multi select of many orders
to update my wish list "HAVE" values.

If I have more items than I need from a particular order put the extra items

Can we unban Russians?

Not trying to get into a politicial argument, this is purely economical but all
the ban has done is make Russians buyers get their orders sent to sorting offices
in Kazakhstan, Belarus and other countries neighbouring Russia, to then be sent
to their addresses in Russia.

These sorting offices require tracking numbers and international tracking is
very expensive. I personally have had to end sales to both Belarus and Kazakhstan
because of this as 2/2 orders have got lost due to me sending them without tracking
(as I wasnt aware at the time) and has cost me over £100 as I've had to give
out full refunds.

Want 'Connection Types' Associated with Parts

Viewed:

[Yes|No]

As a builder, wanting to find available parts, or as someone wanting to research
a part in my hand, it would be useful if each piece, in the database, was associated
with the connections on that piece. The obvious connections include studs and
stud-receivers, technic pins and technic pin holes, small pin holes and small
pins, bars and bar receivers which include clips, hands, and open studs, and
several others. Additionally, this implies the ability to filter a search by
selecting the possible connection types.
I imagine this filter as providing a checkbox for each connection type and
an optional number field. For example, design ID 20482, "Tile, Round 1 x 1 with
Bar and Pin Holder", includes one stud-receiver, one bar, and one small pin hole.

One problem is that there's no standard for describing "small pin holder".
If you search on "pin holder", your search is overwhelmed by technic pieces
while not revealing many pieces which include a "small pin hole". Many parts
with such a connection, call it a "pin hole" or "pin holder" rather than a "small
pin" something. Other descriptions use the word "hat". Most such parts don't
provide any information at all on this feature. Nor do the parts which include
the "small pin".
Another problem is that many parts don't follow what most of us consider
the standard for dimensions. Is it a 4x1 or a 1x4? This becomes a bigger problem
if the part isn't exactly one brick tall. However, I can count studs and
enter that number into a filter.
The first goal is to standardize the vocabulary. For example, do you say "stud-receiver",
"anti-stud", or "antistud"? The word "pin" should be stricken from the database
and replaced with either "techpin", "smallpin", or "handpin". (are there other
pins?)
Finally, imagine having this feature in Studio. wow.

Hi
I've searched through the forum but didn't find anything on the topic.
I think it would be nice, as a seller, so have some sorts of statistics on visits
on our stores : when the visits occurred, how many recurring visitors, exporting
some data, graphics, etc.

Thanks.

Getting strait to the point, why has this not been a priority? With all the mobile
devices today this should be a top item to work on - getting this site mobile
friendly.

It would enhance so much on both sides from the buyer to seller - the ability
to open it on your phone and not be scrolling left right, zooming etc.

Please please Bricklink!

Modifying my Inventory

Dear BrickLink,

What a great website! So much LEGO all in one place. I've begun to add my
current sets to my inventory. But, I've noticed that if I make a mistake,
and accidentally add sets or parts as "New" when they are actually "Used" there
is no way for me to modify that inventory. I have to delete the old inventory
item(s) and add new ones.

But, since your site reminds me every time I part out a set, there is no way
to bulk delete items from a particular set. It would be tremendously helpful
if we could modify our inventory, piece by piece or set by set, so that we could
change the status of a set/piece as "New" or "Used."

I hope this is something you can deliver for us.

Again, great site! It is my go-to spot for anything LEGO!

Enjoy building! Thanks!

New Relationship Links - Advent Calendar Sets

Ho ho ho,

I noticed Advent Sub-Sets are always on far fewer Wanted Lists, listed less,
and sold in smaller quantities than their minifigure counterparts.

Sealed polybags or not, the prices are very comparable. I understand if buyers
are avoiding additional parts or accessories, but that doesn't explain the
equal vacancy for non-exclusive minifigures.

Are casual buyers missing out?

Suggestion: Update the festive figures with new relationship links.

I propose BrickLink consider removing feedback posted by sellers/buyers no longer
registered.

Or perhaps deleting neutral/negative feedback on an annual basis. Maybe I for
every four years of membership, or 1 for each 2500 positives.

When I Part out the set to add the pieces to my Wanted list, I have to go and
add all the stickered pieces seperately. If there was a way to include the stickers
to the "part out set" option when adding to the wanted list that would be awesome!

Add 1 More Confirm Step @Manual Invoice Order

Viewed:

78 times

Topic:

Status:

Open

Vote:

[Yes|No]

Suggestion: Please Add one more Confirmation Step before placing orders that
have Manual Invoicing.

Reason: It is too easy to place an actual order that does not include
a payment step with full Auto-Checkout.

Explanation: Buyers have gotten used to Auto-Checkout procedures that
offer many stages/clicks in order to fully commit to an order and make payment.
This allows buyers more opportunities to be sure they really want to place that
order.

With non-Instant Check-out orders, once presented with the Shopping Cart, there
is now only ONE Click required to place that order. Buyers who expect that next
click to give them more information such as shipping charges or a Grand Total
end up placing an order.

The Green Button to place the order does NOT even say PLACE ORDER -- it
only says AGREE AND CONTINUE

Side Note: I just fell into this trap myself. After having previously
placed some Instant-Checkout orders, I found myself in a manual invoice shop.
Even tho I was aware of that fact, I clicked the Green button and placed the
order. It surprised me very much and left me rather unhappy.

As a seller, I have been processing too many order cancellations from buyers
who claim they did NOT wish to place the order, but did so by mistake. Now I
know why.

Conclusion: It is too easy to place a manual invoice order now. A lot
of order cancellations may be due to buyers placing orders unintentionally (by
accident or mistake). By adding ONE MORE Confirmation Step, it can potentially
reduce the occurrence of unintentional orders, unhappy buyers, and unhappy sellers
who must process order cancellations or deal with those unhappy buyers.

Also, the final step should explicitly state PLACE ORDER, not simply AGREE
AND CONTINUE.

In my opinion, this is a very simple fix that will solve a lot of unhappiness
and cancelled orders.

Multiple Country Inclusions for Price Guide

Currently price guide settings only allow a buyer to include only items in stores
for a single country.

For example, I can select the price guide to only show items located in United
States or Germany, but not both at the same time.

I only order from around 12 countries that have favorable shipping terms but
have to scan an exhaustive price list from countries I have no interest in purchasing
in.

My suggestion: Allow multiple country inclusion or exclusion in default price
guide settings.

At the bottom of the order page there is the function "Show Temporary Checkboxes".
It would be very useful to show a counter beside that how many checkboxes are
checked. So you can easily check if an order is complete especially for orders
with a high lot count.

Glad to see the collection feature in BrickLink, that was a great idea and will
be a massive tool for my collection.
It would be ideal to have a search option to find a particular theme or keyword
(maybe there is but I don't see it) and I would really enjoy the option to
have the avg price guide of each added item in the list.
And last thing, don't know if it's too hard to handle, but a way to export
the lists in pdf format, would be perfect to have a list with infos and pictures
generated

My Collection Additional Features

Loving the new My Collection feature, I'd like to suggest some new features
for it that would really improve its usefulness:

- Add the ability to sort by quantity
- Allow parts in colors not in the BrickLink catalog to be added. It takes a
while for new colors that come in new sets to be available in the BrickLink catalog,
and there are a variety of parts that I have in my collection that are not in
the catalog but were produced by Lego in other ways. Would be really useful to
be able to add these to my collection just like I can add these to my wanted
lists
- As others have said, an "Add Order Items to My Collection" button is a must
have
- When you download a wanted list then try to upload it to "My Collection", you
get an error saying it's incorrectly formatted. This is due the
encoding="UTF-8"? line that is added to the top of the wanted list xml for some
reason. This should be recognized when uploading to My Collection, because downloading
and uploading the same format from the same site should just work

Thanks!

Unknown Colors

[Yes|No]

Can we get clarification on any "unknown" colors for parts? Any part listed
in an "unknown" color should either be changed to confirm it is a known color
or that color should be removed for that particular part. If a part was released
in a particular color, that color should be added to the known colors for that
part, even if there are no parts listed in that color so sellers can list the
part in those colors if they should happen to have them without doubting or second
guessing if they have correctly identified the color for that part. One specific
example is Bionicle parts in Flat Silver and Pearl Light Gray. My understanding
is Flat Silver may have only been used during the final year Bionicle was released
but also that some sets may have used Flat Silver in some countries while using
Pearl Light Gray in other countries for the same part in the same set. I don't
know wether this is actually true or not but sellers could definitely use some
clarification as whether the actual dye was different or not, there are definitely
color variations among these parts. Thank you.

I may be missing something, but it would be good to be able to add more details

to the information that we can enter for an inventory item
