  I have 74 stores on my Least Favorite list. I always add a note as to why I
put them on that list, and about half of them say "Way too many lots per
unique part." I've found stores with great deals, but if I want 50 blue
2X6 plates, and they're spread out over 20 lots, I'm not shopping that
store.

Doesn’t that filter (pic) work for those stores?

  AI/LLM/GPT to the rescue!

Okay, it’ll “hallucinate” stores

Apparently it just created a 999€ Cart of my wanted-list in your Shop!

Hoping you'll give me free shipping!

Of course! My GPT-driven robot is packing your New¹ toilet paper in bubble wrap
right now.

¹ Brand new from the wholesaler, only displayed in a small windowless room.

I also guess we're right now at the maximum it can do in term of CPU / calculation
time.
Just IMHO.

AI/LLM/GPT to the rescue!

Okay, it’ll “hallucinate” stores and lots and prices and parts but it’ll be fast
and modern!

it should be as simple as going to this page selecting book
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogImageAdd.page
and adding the image so long as it meets the restrictions and then submitting
it

Yeah, but that’s 800x600 (or 600x800).  I believe the catalogue team sometimes
accepts better images.

You need to open a store to sell here.

And you need some feedback first, which means you need to buy something first(er).

My large scale image is size 1600 x 1050. It is this version that I do not think
I have succeded with uploading yet.

I don’t know the rules and procedures for images in the catalogue but the forum
is not a good solution: it reduces images to a width of 640.

(And, please, don’t post personal info (e-mail) here )

  Today when I logged on to Bricklink, I realized that 20 years and 2 days ago,
4/20/2004 I created my account AND placed my first order. 20 years!

Thank you to Dan Jezek for designing Bricklink all those decades ago!

Thank you Bricklink for without this marketplace I would not have had a viable
business model that has worked for 20 years.

Thank you to the countless stores across the world that have provided me with
excellent service!

Thank you to the Community (both in chat & forum) for all the questions answered,
the laughs, the Pizza & Mustard wars, the long debates, the catalog adds & changes,
and a place to go to feel included.

I look forward to the next 20 years whatever they may bring.

Forever grateful,
Cass T

Congrats and well said

It's on a shelf in a French grocery store in the "États-Unis" section


I believe it’s spelled “gross-ry”

  Does anyone know where to get digital copies of the instructions from the original
AFOL Designer program?? I have enough parts to build 2 of them, but cannot
find instructions. Thanks.

I think there’s no digital instructions available for the first program, ADP
(https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/past/adp.page ).

  Doesn’t the set’s page show “pending approval” either way?


Nope.

A set that is reserved shows "Inventory In Progress".

Right, now you’re saying it, I remember I have seen that sometimes

(Still can’t swear it was for these two sets   I need to buy me a “dash cam”
and record everything I do )


  A set that is being worked on or is complete and pending approval shows "Inventory
Pending Approval".

Both conditions are poorly labeled.

+1
Seems there should be three conditions too: reserved, WIP, pending approval.

I don't recall ever seeing these inventories pending approval. They may have
been reserved, but they weren't pending.

Doesn’t the set’s page show “pending approval” either way?

I was just waiting for these inventories to check I had the colours right in
Studio, without having to check the element IDs from the instructions one by
one
But I’m not sure I looked at the pending inventories for these ones.  I think
I did but I may be confusing with other sets 🤔

  What about this Electromagnetic Railgun Cannon Launcher? It isn't made by
Lego but if you need something with a little more kick...

Though I don't think any stores here on BrickLink have them in stock right
now.

Hi all,

I was just wondering¹ what happened with
 
Set No: 21348  Name: Dungeons & Dragons: Red Dragon's Tale
* 
21348-1 Dungeons & Dragons: Red Dragon's Tale
2024
Sets: LEGO Ideas (CUUSOO): Dungeons & Dragons
and
 
Set No: 60439  Name: Space Science Lab
* 
60439-1 Space Science Lab
2024
Sets: Town: City: Space Exploration

These sets had inventories pending approval for some time… and now they don’t
have anything.
Was there something wrong?  Did the submitters gave up?

(¹ Not an “I need to part them out! do your job! chop chop!” rant, I’m just puzzled.)

  Hi all, I'm not too sure what to make of this.
I just turned my computer on today, opened my browser (chrome with tabs open
including bricklink tabs which I was signed into upon closing my browser) and
I got an email from bricklink (blservice@bricklink.com) with the one time code
thing just wondering if this could be cause for alarm, or I think its more
likely a random occurance or something similar.
I think it was sent due to me opening my browser with bricklink tabs open, or
could it be something to do with BLS manager (I only got it a few days ago to
see if i can use it to download my Brick Owl store orders to Brickstore).
I'm hoping its not a sign of a security issue.

Hi,

The one time code depends on “your machine” and is only valid for a month.
“Your machine” is identified by several supposedly invariable data (I don’t know
what BL is using).  If you used another browes, or if the cookies were deleted,
or if the month is out, then you need a new OTC.  Updating your OS and/or your
browser may also change the identity of “your machine.”

Some people have deactivated the OTC because they were asked for it too often
(the identifying data isn’t ‘invariable’ enough in their cases).
