Greetings!
The period of existence of our store is coming to an end.
It will be closed on February 15th.

I know that the attitude of many users towards our store cannot be called positive.
Due to the specifics of our work, process and delivery times, which arose due
to the current global situation in the world, which worries everyone, we received
negative feedback, but we always resolved the issues that arose in favor of our
customers.

We have been included in the lists of Highlighted and Featured stores many times
thanks to your support.
And I hope that one way or another, each of those who placed an order with us
was satisfied with our range and quality of parts.

Until the 15th you can place and pay for orders in our store. All orders paid
by you before the 15th will be sent to you according to the rules specified on
our store page. Please ensure you are happy with these shipping and delivery
times before placing your order.

We will be very happy to receive, assemble and process your last orders in our
store.

Having heard all of the recent news regarding Bricklink's plan to merge mold
variants, and the possible flaws regarding that plan such as certain mold variants
having functional differences such as Part 15573 being mixed up with other jumper
plates, I have come to realize that if customers are worried about purchasing
outdated parts or colors, they should really be shopping on The LEGO Group's
official Pick a Brick website, which only sells parts that are currently being
manufactured.

I see Bricklink as a preservation website, where it should be able to preserve
parts of LEGO's history. And the thing is, one cannot buy retired elements
such as parts from the Bionicle sets on Pick a Brick, or parts in retired
colors like translucent neon green. People will flock to Bricklink just to get
those retired elements. The act for merging catalog entries for similar molds
in order to avoid customer confusion not only endangers the preservation and
documentation of specific LEGO parts, but it also can create further customer
confusion and frustration in the event they buy the wrong type of parts.

I’ve been a member here since the earliest days, according to user number I understand
that I’m one of the first two thousand members of this site. In the time between
when I originally joined and now we’ve seen many great improvements, so much
so the site is barely recognizable anymore. However the entire time there has
been one core guiding principle: BL provides users with a way to buy the parts
they need.

With this merge that will be eliminated. I won’t be able to easily identify I
need a 9 ratchet dual hinge piece or an axle hole variant of a 2x2 modified bricks
with hinge in my want list for a set I’m trying to put together based on communication
shared by the admins. This is a clear move backwards in friendliness and functionality.

I can’t recall a loss of functionality like this in my time at BL. Sure there
have been some things that have been eliminated but none of them would prevent
putting a set together or identifying a needed piece.

I understand these changes may make life easier for sellers but it’s important
to also make life livable for buyers too. Surely there is some other solution
that can be found to this problem, because it’s clear that this wide ranging
merge that includes merging pieces with differential functionality within the
system is not the right answer.
