When adding a part via the "Add Item" page, the color of the part in
the picture does not match the color selected. This can be problematic when
adding multiple parts of different colors as well as ensuring the color or picture
exists.

While clicking on an increment or decrement button within a qty box, the scroll
capability should be disabled to prevent accidentally increasing or decreasing
qty. This can be especially annoying with a mouse that scrolls by touch, i.e.,
an Apple mouse.

There is a button that says "Add Order Items to my wanted list" on the
order details page. This button adds the items that you just ordered to your
wanted list as "wanted" items. Why would I want the items I just ordered.
MVP for this suggestion:

- Have button to add items to wanted list "have" qty on order page
- Have ability to select which wanted list each lot is going to for multiple
wanted lists

We get little yellow icon notifications for new messages, why was this not enabled

The notifications can be removed once the order is opened.

Hello, dear developers and programmers of this site.

I have this problem.
I very often build different buildings from my parts and at the same time I use
your service to sort my parts from my Lego sets, but I REALLY miss sorting the
parts by color.

I would be very grateful if you could add such a function to the section on the
site where you can sort your parts from sets.
Thank you in advance!

Stop List (revised)

Gonna express this here under suggestions, for lack of a better topic to use.
But no need to vote or take too serious

Just looking for candid feedback on
the idea of rebranding the sometimes divisive feature

As the Stop List is a unidirectionally action, I thought a more descriptive term
for the outdated and sometimes confusing phrase, could easily replace it. Some
other descriptor that would serve both buyer and seller better.

Decline Service List, Refuse Service List, Excluded from Service, Service
Exclusion List, or whatever you might come up with other than just “stop”

Just today’s over caffeinated thinking, and frankly not all that important. I
mean, ambiguous as stop sometimes comes across to the uninitiated here, the phrase
has been around a long time. There’s that to consider, but on the other hand
“don’t stop

improving” is a good mantra and attitude to maintain.

View Active Color Palette by Year

It would be awesome to filter the color palette by year to see what colors were
active. The introduced and retired data is already available on most colors in
the color guide, and it would be a cool way to browse the history of lego parts.
Would also really help in trying to collect particular eras of lego.

Filter Parts Catalog by Year

Viewed:

45 times

Topic:

Status:

Vote:

[Yes|No]

The catalog has long had the feature to see the parts intrdocued each year. What
is not available, however, is viewing all the parts in the palette for a given
year. Currently most parts have the year they were introduced and retired, but
the latter half of that data is not viewable in a list format as far as I can
tell. Being able to view the "active" catalog for each year would be
a great feature to browse Lego history.

This could also be extended to the other broad categories in the catalog, but
not sure the year data is as robust on those to be easily done.

A more complex version of this suggestion is that the active catalog view for
a given year should only include those parts appearing in sets for sale. Right
now it seems like the year data only accounts for the first and last appearance
of a part and not when it was truly active. But sets right now only have an introduced
date and do not have a retired date so it may be hard to figure out what was
actively for sale in a given year.

It would also be great to get as granular as the mold variation available, but
that is probably rather difficult with all the slight variations contained in
the same listing.

Hi,
Could there be an option to show the total weight of the items in the cart? A
recent order had that problem - I was trying to keep it under 100 grams to keep
shipping down but it went over and I had to ask the seller to remove some. Would
this be possible?
Thanks

Ideal as a payment method

Hello!

I would like to formally ask for IDEAL as a payment method for the Dutch customer's

This payment method is long been the favorite for the majority in the Netherlands.

Currently there seems to be a limitation in Stripe to add this payment method
to instant checkout.

I did search on other topics related to this : but beside one I placed in the
wrong section;
the other topics are quite old.

So please do consider this small change in the stripe platform , it will be of
great benefit for all Dutch sellers and buyers a like.

It's a very safe , trusted, and recognizable payment platform that I'm
positive will also help with onsite instant checkouts (tax collection).

Kind regards

Refined store search by postal code or cities

Viewed:

[Yes|No]

I was wondering if the implementation of a search for stores that are nearby
is on the work bench?

I often hear of people around my city that would buy Lego parts, but don't
want to order them via mail.
Bricklink can be overwhelming for a mom who shops to replace parts the vacuum
cleaner ate!

Sometimes it's a few parts, then they become regulars.

They can pick them up at my door. Pay in cash. Easy-peasy.

I've had people that ordered and dropped by on their weekend trip too. Combining
fun and fun!

I also receive regular messages asking where I'm located (even if it's
stated in my top banner and store policies...)

I guess that search by province/state is OK... but a more precise way would be
better.

It could be on a voluntary basis... I guess some sellers don't want people
showing up at their door and that's ok. Could be a checkbox thing in the
store setting page.

Improvement of Wanted List / ShopBy functionn

I'm using a lot the functionnality of buying from wanted list and explore
the seller results that have the most items I'm looking for.
But one information is missing along the process : when looking on what such
seller has among the items I want, I cannot see wether he puts any comment on
the condition of his items ! I'm totally blind ! So when browsing the results
with prices, I have no way to see if a part is cheap because really used or even
damaged...
The only way to see the comments is to systematically open another tab for each
seller, explore my wanted list through his store to see if there's any comments...
So totally manually...
As maybe not everyone would be interested by this information (especially if
buying New parts), that could be an option to tick, to display or not the comments
on the seller detail popup.

Proposal: Combined search for mold variants

Viewed:

99 times

Topic:

Status:

Open

Vote:

[Yes|No]

Hello,
I hope this is not a repetition of an already-posted proposal: in that case,
I'm sorry!

My idea came while searching for some pieces which have different mold variants
and that, correctly, are listed with a different code and page for each variant:
sometimes, however, some colours are available just for one or another mold,
or very rare for some of the different versions, while being the variants almost
indistinguishable, so it may happen that one user could be interested in all
mold variants AS IF they were of just one type, with the colour and quantity
availability grouped "as a whole".

While searching for pieces available in the stores, for example, there could
be a "MOLD VARIANTS" checkbox to allow the user, only if desired, to
look for all the pieces/colours inside that "group of mold variants".

A possible "group of mold variants" for "Bar 1L with Clip Mechanical
Claw" would include, for example:
- https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=48729#T=P
- https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=48729a#T=P
- https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=48729b#T=P
I've included the "undetermined type" too, as it includes all the
entries NOT considered in the other pages.

Thank you very much for your consideration,
have a great day
Giorgio

Could the items be closed by also using the Escape key to make it easier to look

Address problems

Formely I copy/pasted adresses, but for some years now I have to fill in an online
formular to ship abroad.

But addresses are unclear in some cases, especiallaly from South Korean and Chinese
customers.

So I often have to ask what-is-what, sometime building names, room numbers, steet
names and numbers come in one line - too long anyway to put in the formular and
in many cases impossible to untie.

This often gives a lot of extra communication and delays. The english language
or let me say my english language- is not allways understood.

It will also cause improper addressings.

So what I suggest is making a fixed format for addresses according to the standards
postal administrations use for their online fomulars.

So a line for street, a field for streetnumber, a line for building name, city,
provibce/region etc.

This would make it much easier to ship, avoid a lot of communication and delays.

regards
Erik

A seller has the right to stoplist any buyer. It has a consequence to the autoselect

this seller in your autoselect list. May I suggest a function for the buyer to
exclude individual sellers so that the autoselect does not consider such sellers

New order status - Mutable

Viewed:

123 times

Topic:

Status:

Vote:

[Yes|No]

This is a suggestion to add a new order status 'Mutable'.

Mutable would be a status immediately after the order is submitted, and would
exist for a period of time as defined by the seller. During that time, the items
have been reserved for the customer, may not be purchased by another customer,
and the IC payment has been authorized, but not captured.

When an order is in the Mutable status, the customer may add to the order, remove
items from the order, cancel the order, or confirm they are done. Once the order
transitions from Mutable, the authorized payment is captured (with an amount
reflecting the final order contents plus applicable shipping and taxes). If the
customer decides to cancel, then the payment authorization is canceled without
a capture.

This suggestion would formalize a solution, to a problem that has existed since
IC came into existence, where a customer realizes they need to add/remove/change
something within a short period of time after the order was submitted.

It would be really awesome if there was some form of tax integration for Canadian
stores even if it is just a column for taxes and not just additional charges.
It could even be store managed and not automated by Bricklink like in the US.
Once we started collecting taxes a minimum order has to go away as the "additional
charges" spot used for a tiny order fee is occupied for charging taxes.

Thank you for reading
