I already found a way to add parts from an order to My Collection (using XML).
To avoid ordering the same part again, it would be helpful to see how many of
that part is already in my collection when building a Wanted List.

The "Have" box in the Wanted List is just valid for that list, and entered
one part by one, as far as I could see, so that doesn't help. I'm not
a seller, so I just want to use My Collection to track what I already have and
use it to build new Wanted lists.

Thanks,

M

Hi, I was wondering if it would be possible that Stud.IO will ever become an
app. I would really look forward to be able to make and edit LEGO models on my
tablet!

I have seen a lot of sellers offer multiple different discounts. It would be
nice to have a filter that you can choose the discounts you want to see instead
of just all sales. Like if a shop has different sale percentages at 10, 25, 30,
50 and 75 percent off you could filter for everything above 50%.

Please give 3001special access to all colors in the catalog, including Modulex
colors.

Often when uploading test bricks, it is hard to find the exact color, so having
all colors available is a must.

Also, some test bricks actually come in Modulex colors.

It would be great if this can be added.

Thanks,
Maxx

My idea comes from my friend group and family that lives pretty much all over
Europe and US. We would like to buy each other figures or sets for events
and holidays like Christmas, birthdays or even have a wishlist for any occassion
like a wedding registry. As we don't always know which figure or set someone
is missing and as adresses change it would be nice to have a wishlist like people
on amazon have where you pick figures or sets you need and want and someone else
can buy them for you. Content creators can put them in their bios on social media,
people can put them on their wedding registries, for their birthdays etc. People
could support their favorite content creators and not have acess to their adress,
friends that are not on the adress sharing level can also do that, members of
family can have a way easier time finding something you actually want without
the hassle of looking for it and packing and sending it. It would be a really
fun idea all around imo with a lot of ways to surprise someone.

Since sellers are NOT supposed to set orders to Complete.....

Can we make it so they can't?

Because when a seller does it by mistake, we can not send a ship notice thru
the system

About two weeks ago, I made 23 purchases (carts) over two days.
One of those sellers is MIA, and has not changed the cart status from "paid",
nor is replying to any messages.

So today, I decide to create another wishlist and add those items again.
This split down into two carts.
Since Easter is Sunday, I messaged the sellers directly, pre-purchase, to inquire
about expedited shipping methods, and if they were able to physically fulfill
the order on such short notice.
While corresponding with two separate sellers; I tried to reply, and was told
"Oops, you have exceeded your message limit.".

This created a "frantic" situation for me; as I was already against the
clock. I had to figure out how to message them off-site, and finish my pre-purchase
conversations.

I understand bots and reasons for security measures.
But it feels this ones a little too tight, as I had already made 23 purchases
before this happened.

I'm in my mid 40's and recently designed my childhood home on stud.io.
Super amazing software. As a cad/cam engineer and software developer myself,
it was a delight!

So, my house has over 8,000 pieces, which resulted in numerous orders through
BrickLink.
After placing over 20 orders, I receive multiple emails.
One from Bricklink for each purchase.
One from PayPal for each purchase.
Another from BrickLink once the order has shipped.
Another from PayPal once the order has shipped.

Each of these emails use various names, or email address, or store names.
It's confusing to identify which email goes with which order.
I often find myself scrolling through emails, looking for a store username, so
I can match it to my BrickLink orders page.

MY SUGGESTION:

Please add the sellers store name (perhaps under the username?) on the buyers
orders page.
This would seriously help with identifying which order goes with which email,
without having to physically click into each order, and find the store name.

Alternatively, if maintaining a single row on the orders page is preferred, could
we maybe add the store name as a "hover" when mousing over the store
username?

Thank you for the consideration.

Why is it that i can set default condition (used or new) when searching things,
but the list of stores from different countries is not an option. i want to look
at just the USA stores, nothing more or less. let me set a default for everything,

Hello Developer Team,

prior to my request I want to thank you all for your great website! I use it
really a lot to manage my Lego collection.

My request:
i have a wanted list for each of my uncomplete set. The lists are named in a
certain pattern. There are some generic wanted lists as well which i prefix with
an exclamation mark.
When adding an item I need to select the wanted list. It would be nice to have
a setting for the sort order of the wanted lists in the add dialog. Currently
it seems it is sorted by id, it would also be great by name or other properties.

Thanks in advance and best regards,
Gerald

Why can we not have all our messages go into our inbox on Bricklink? When someone
messages a seller who doesn’t have an order we get an email from BL with the
message. The message reply email isn’t even to the person asking the question.
You have to remove the BL email and put in their email or it will just go
to a dead box. It seems so simple to keep track of if we just keep all messages
on BL. It would even be better if we didn’t give out email addresses like most
other sites already block. They may also stop the spam we are all getting. Just
my 2 cents.

Maybe for more focused attention by both admin and membership alike, a new forum
Topic Charter may benefit the site? To concentrate reporting, solutions, announcements
etc. Unlike most other topics, this one really benefits from expedited awareness.

So structured, black hats may also benefit I suppose?

I don't know, it's just a thought while weeding through the forum for
the newest happenings and concerns with this seemingly ongoing matter.

The color guide is very cool and useful. I would find it even more useful if
the user could select the starting date (or ending date, perhaps). That way,
I could better understand how many parts are available in different colors *now*
(or in the last 5 years, or last 10 years, etc.). If making it selectable is
difficult, even just a single other option (say, going back 10 years from the
present) would be useful. Thanks for considering.

I'd like to write remarks about items in My Collection, particularly to specify

Spam by new accounts promoting drugs etc seems to be a recurring problem.

I suggest that a feedback rating of 1 or higher be required to post in the forums,

I’m sure this had been suggested before, but I just received my first neutral
feedback (sad day) from a new buyer. I’d be more inclined to be accepting the
neutral if it was from a seasoned bricklinker, but I don’t think these new buyers
realize the impact of their feedback. Honestly, I would even care if it actually
fell off at some point. So here’s my suggestion:

Neutral feedback to fall off of the percentage calculation after 500 orders or
6 months whichever comes second.
Negative feedback to fall off of the percentage calculation after 1000 orders
or 1 year.

I picked 500 and 1000 because they are substantial numbers

There should be room for redemption.

It would be very helpful to allow members to subscribe to threads and topics.
Particularly for threads if they have participated in the thread.

With all the catalog merges going on, it's unreasonable to expect BL members
to have to monitor hundreds of unrelated posts to know when significant changes
occur. I understand why BL wouldn't want to push notifications to every member
for these changes but allowing us to opt in to discussions that matter to us
would provide an significant and immediate benefit to everyone.

Even being aware of the merges and seeing the list from the first big batch,
I was caught up in a lot of frustration from unexpected consequences and subsequent
merges that didn't receive the same level of attention.

Hi,

I would appreciate if you could feature the "pay with card" on the fee
page:

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/mystore/fee.page

as prominent as the Painpal-Button. Since you use Stripe I guess there is a Stripe-Button
available somewhere. Actually if would be awesome if you could get rid off Painpal
altogether

Thanks,

w.

Would it be possible for users to access other users' wanted lists?
Or for a user to generate an easy link that could be sent to others users so
they can see our wanted lists?
That way we won't have to send a bunch of pictures to people, with whom we
want to trade etc.

I suggest an option where you can order the wanted list on "missing parts".

Yes, you can order on "have quantity", and so you already have the parts
with quantity 0 easily selected.

But it would be nice if you could easily order/group also the parts which are
partly present.

Kind regards,
Gert

Is it possible to make an export of your order and import it to your own inventory.
Now I do that manually brick by brick. It would be great if you can make an CSV
file of all the parts you have ordered and import them easily into your own collection/inventory.

Should there be another topic charter added (even if provisionally) to the Reference

To better isolate and handle the added inquires, corrections and concerns of
that ongoing site wide process?

As was done for the question of taxes, when collection was implemented:

Not sure in which topic this would fit, but I would like to make the following
request/suggestion:

Would it be possible to have the colour already selected if a piece is chosen
from the colour guide.

For example I am in the colour guide for medium blue and searching for a particular
slope. When I find the slope I have and want to put in my inventory I select
the picture and I am linked to the page of that piece. I would like that page
to open up with the colour already selected to save a step. Is that possible?
This would save me a fair amount of time when entering pieces.

Would this be helpful to anyone else?

On some other Lego related sites, you can see the original MSRP/RRP of sets,
which is just a nice feature for historical purposes. However, Bricklink does
not have this function.
I know this isn't really a feature that needs to be added, but it would greatly
enhance the user experience of the site.

Apologies in advance, I'm sure this has been requested before, but... when
a buyer requests additional photos of a certain detail of a set/lot/part, it's
very cumbersome to use the existing system of navigating to My Images, uploading
a photo, getting the link, and pasting the link into the message. At that point
it's easier to do essentially the same thing with Dropbox, Flickr. Imgur,
or similar, since those hosts are quicker and easier to use than BL's image
functionality.

So why can private messages simply include a function to drag or upload a locally
stored image from your computer or device right there in the PM composition window?

Thanks!

Would it be possible to enhance (or better yet, replace) the forum interface
to allow functionality like the following:

- Likes and other reactions to posts and comments (a sometimes useful indicator
of whether a view is widely shared or an outlier; and also enables people to
chime in without having to post their own "me too" comments)

- Ability to quote more than one prior comment (without having to do so totally
manually)

- Ability to reply to more than one comment if the prior comments are in different
sub-branches of the thread

- Ability to edit comments rather than cancelling them altogether and starting
over

It seems there are a good number of simple, plug-and-play forum software systems
around today that enable such features and much more without a whole lot of administrative
setup effort.

Thanks!

To my knowledge, there is currently no way to search stores by location beyond
the state/province level.

Would it be possible to be able to search down to the city level, or perhaps
by distance from your own location? And would it be possible to add a "local
pickup" checkbox in sellers' store configuration pages so that buyers
could search stores based on that criterion?

If you want to revisit a store you've previously ordered from and you click
on My BL--Orders to get to your Orders Placed page. you cannot directly
access the store. You have to click on the feedback rating of the store, and
then from the resulting feedback page you can click on a link that takes you
to the store.

Since the Orders Placed page already lists the name of each store next to its
feedback rating, can that store name be made clickable so it takes you directly
to the store?

Thanks!

The settings for how many items to display on each page of your Want List or
a store's selection of your Want List items are not "sticky." In
other words, you have to select your preferred display option for each store
you visit and each time you look at your Want List.

Same for the order in which your Want Lists are displayed: if you select any
sorting option other than the BL default of "Newest," there is no way
to make your preference your own personal default. You have to set it again every
time you view your Want Lists.

Similarly, the order in which parts are displayed/sorted defaults to one order
if you view 25 per page, but to a different order if you change the setting to
view 50 or 100 per page. It would be great if each user could set their default
number of elements per page and their default sorting order. Wouldn't this
just be a matter of writing these preferences to existing cookies that BL sets
anyway?

Thanks!

When using the Buy function from a Want List, seller notes are not visible in
the list of stores that come up as having some or all of your wanted parts.

Of course I understand there's no room for seller notes in the list of stores
itself - but when you click "Select" on a store, that brings up a window
where you can see which of your Want List parts they have and what their prices
are. In THAT window, seller notes do not appear, and so you cannot know if a
part is discolored, scratched, or otherwise damaged.

Can seller notes please be made visible when we are browsing stores during the
Want List Buy process?

Thanks!

An element/part's number, and a link to its catalogue entry are not available
for items in a shopping cart when you click on the cart from the store's
page.

However, the element/part number and catalogue link ARE available for shopping
cart items if you click on the cart from your Cart menu.

Can shopping cart item element numbers and catalogue links please be made available
regardless of how you got to your shopping cart view?

I think it would be a great idea if we could search for parts and see results

BrickLink needs to use webp image format.

I've noticed the beta version of the site is displaying PNG format images,
and the O.G. site is using SVG images where possible to save on data transfer.

webp images will, in general, be smaller than any of JPEG, PNG, or GIF.



I've made this suggestion to the dev team at Trello years ago, and... they
did take a long time to implement it, and even had replied saying it was a low
priority.

But they did, within the year, and ... it has a host of benefits.

- this image format supports both lossy and lossless image compression
- transparency/alpha-channel support
- well developed libraries to implement webp into BrickLink's codebase have
been around for a decade
- wide file support on most modern web browsers the past decade
- much smaller file sizes than JPEG, PNG, or GIF

This last one matters most:

- webhosting costs would be reduced (bandwidth both up and down)
- file limits, file size limits could be relaxed for users
- smaller files mean that the pages sent to browsers can render faster, giving
the user a better, faster experience

Please consider adding webp support. Even if it's only pushed into the newer
beta interface!

Can you please for the love of god implement an option to save your search criteria?

Every time I need to click the same parameters for my search. Would be so easy
if you could save that a a default or something.

Suggestion: Option to save search criteria.

Sure would be great if I could just download a wishlist and then re-upload it
to my collection! Not sure if the latter has comments allowing me to keep track
of whether I have built the set or not, but still. Seems odd that the collection
upload won't recognise the downloaded wishlist XML regardless of how many
fields I remove from it. Just keeps giving me "could not find in catalog"
for all sets, whether xxxx-1 or xxxx.

Is is possible to add sorting by release date in the My Collection section?

Thanks.

So there's been some heated discussion about the recent decision to consolidate
certain Bricklink part entries. For example, the merger of certain parts with
open studs and parts with blocked studs. Much has been said about the fact that
people rely on Bricklink as a catalog as well as a marketplace, and how the removal
of this information is detrimental to the future success of the LEGO hobby. But
I think what has been missing from this conversation is a reasonable alternative
to the current status quo. Instead of simply deleting the nuanced information
that has been carefully curated over decades by an army of dedicated volunteers,
I have an alternate suggestion:

Go ahead and consolidate part entries. Do it. Even the ones with stickers. Put
'em all in one place. 2x3 Slope? One entry. But wait! What's this? A
drop-down menu! This one lets users look at the many different colors that the
part comes in. And Hark! I spy another drop-down menu beside the first! This
one seems to list the different mold variants! Avast me hearties! A third drop-down
menu! With the different stickered and printed variants! That's right--I'm
proposing treating mold variants, printed variants, and stickered variants in
the same way that colors are currently handled.

Each drop-down menu would be filtered according to the selection made in the
other two drop-down menus. For example, suppose a part came in both a glossy
and a matte finish. However, the sand-blue version of the part only ever came
in the matte finish. So when a user selects "Sand Blue" from the part's
Color drop-down menu, the Mold drop-down menu would automatically filter to only
include the Matte option. Perhaps the same part also came in the color green,
with both Gloss and Matte mold variants. Then when selecting "Green"
from the Color drop-down munu, the user would still have the choice of selecting
either Gloss or Matte from the Mold drop-down menu.

Of course, each menu would have an "undetermined" option, which would
be the default option in order to allow sellers and buyers ease of use.

My point is that the solution to this catalog complexity is not the removal of
crucial information. There is a better way, and I believe the incredible Bricklink
team has the opportunity to simultaneously simplify the user experience while
retaining the nuance that has made Bricklink the defacto LEGO parts catalog for
so many wonderful years.

Am I crazy, or is there room for compromise?

Hi Bricklink gurus

Please consider staging BDP pre-order times by country timezones. It's fine
if you're close to the US, but for anyone on the opposite side of the world,
getting up at 0400hrs is crazy (I mean, I did it, but missed out on the BPD series
4 castle, the only one I wanted).

Also, 30,000 unit limit? What the heck? If you get past the minimum order required,
surely it should be open ended after that.

Regards, Disappointed Aussie.

Would it be possible to let sellers see the feedback left just to help prevent
future problems ?

Currently you can sort a Wanted List by 'Have Qty' and 'Want Qty'.



However when looking to complete a wanted list what I really care about is how
many parts I still need, or in other words the 'Want Qty' minus the 'Have
Qty'.

I would like to suggest adding a new sorting option 'Need Qty', which
would simply sort the list by the difference between Want and Have.

For example, given the following 3 parts:

- Part1 [Want 4, Have 2] Need = 4-2 = 2
- Part2 [Want 6, Have 5] Need = 6-5 = 1
- Part3 [Want 2, Have 4] Need = 2-4 = -2


As far as I can tell there is no way to currently sort these parts in this order;
By the number of parts that still need to be acquired to complete the list.


I find both 'Have' and 'Want' to not be very useful when sorting,
as it's the difference between the two that actually matters for a wanted
list.

So I would like to suggest adding the ability to sort by this metric. While I
refer to it as 'Need Qty' here, any name could be used that conveys the
intent sufficiently.


I am aware of the 'Hide Items if Have Qty is ≥ Want Qty' Filter option,
and it is very useful. I still believe that even with this enabled that it would
be useful to be able to sort by the remaining delta of these two values.

Howdy, Friends at Bricklink!

Currently when I view my Wanted List within a store, it shows me ALL items in
the selected Wanted List, even if I no longer need the item. It would help if
I could filter the view to JUST items I "Need", not all the items and
Need and Have. This would save a whole lot of time and headaches. I have a Wanted
List with over 500 items that I am almost done fulfilling, and it would be easier
and faster to just see if the parts I need are in stock in the store, and not
everything I already have.

Thanks for considering my suggestion.

Hello Friends at Bricklink!

I have a suggestion for the "Orders Placed" page. Please allow for a
longer history of orders. I (as well as other professional builders) get to write
off our Bricklink orders on our taxes, and it doesn't help that my orders
expire from the page. If I need to reference them for tax season, they aren't
there. Currently I only show orders up till September 2023, but not before. It
would help to have access to orders *at least* going back to January 2023.

Thank you for considering this. It would make a huge difference to see this change
take place.

Bruce

When listing a part to sell, there should an additional status of "damaged."

"New" is obvious, but "Used" covers a whole lot of ground. Relying
on comments for the part condition is going to lead to a bad experience for both
selling and buying parties, especially when I have to go multiple layers down
in the rulebook to find the statement expectation. And it doesn't say that
comments are "required," it says that comments "'should'
be noted in the item description." Again, opportunity for a bad experience.
Is "should" being used as an expectation or requirement??

This could also be resolved with the addition of a "damaged" status.
The primary win would be a damaged part labeled as "used" would be clearly
in the buyers protection. As a seller, I would argue if I have a damaged part
listed as "used," I am not in the wrong for missing a comment as there
is no clear requirement. But if I had a "damaged" status, all is clear.

to choose.

Thanks
