Can we do anything about the fact that searching "mtron" and "m tron" bring up
different results?


Also the search engine doesn't recognize apostrophes. Like I can search "Emma
house" but "Emma's house" give me an error message.

Thanks for the consideration.

Apologies if either of these have been suggested before, they are huge frustrations
for me.

An annoyance I experience with the Want List main page is having to change the
Sort By from Newest to Alphabetically each and every time I visit the page. I
have over 30 lists and could care less when they were created, I just want to
quickly find the one I'm looking for. So, can the Sort order be permanently
saved or turned into an account preference?

Second, in almost every place that parts are listed on BL (including order details),
one can click on the image to see a bigger version in a lightbox modal... that
is, everywhere except for wanted lists. Please consider making the images there
also lightboxes, because it's cumbersome having to open item detail pages
just to get a better view.

Thank you.

Hello,

When entering my address in Israel on Bricklink, the site forces me to choose
a "district". Choices include Mehoz HaMerkaz, Mehoz Tel Aviv, etc.

These are not part of our address in Israel, but rather are used only in the
court system.

Please remove this field from addresses in Israel. I fear that it might create
confusion in the postal service and also among new buyers.

Thank you,
-Reuven

Just wondering about the share wanted list feature that's coming soon...
Will I be able to upload photos and renderings of my wanted list? or Will
that just make it exactly like the stud.io gallery?

Currently it says
Invoices
Shipments
Drove-thru

Would like to see
Orders
Invoiced
Paid
Packed
Shipped

Orders -- these need to be invoiced
Invoiced-- seller has sent the invoice
Paid --- buyer has paid
Packed-- seller has packed the order
Shipped -- seller has shipped the order, and can complete drive thru here
to move it out of the shipped bucket

Same for buyers. Not sure why everything was condensed to three options when
there are more stages than this and with IC, items move quickly through the stages
and skip some.

Thanks for the consideration.

Hi,

On the "Buy Wanted Lists" page, when choosing a store, the site adds all parts
possible to the first store chosen's cart. Then, once I choose a second store,
it adds all remaining parts to the second store's cart.

Is there a way to choose two (or more) stores at once, and then the site will
distribute the parts between the two stores, choosing whichever store is cheapest
for each part?
(This feature is available on BrickOwl, and really help pull down the cost of
purchasing an entire wanted list there. I'm hoping this is also possible
on Bricklink, but I haven't figured out how to do it if it is).

If you press auto-select then the site does what I am describing, but I don't
always want to use the single solution that auto-select provides (often due to
one stores shipping costs).

If it isn't possible, is it possible to request this from the Bricklink developers?

Thanks,
-Reuven

PS Sorry for mentioning the competition

Hi BL'ers,

Sorry for my English. Is it an idea to make a personal catalog in Bricklink in
which you can inventory the sets which you own? And maybe inventory missing parts
or sets and put them on your wanted list or order them?

Shall give a nice view of your collection.

Best regards and enjoy your lego.

Like to hear from you.

From the Netherlands, Wilbert

I just bought a MacBook Pro and it is very fast! But it has got me wishing that
Bricklink had a seller feature that would automatically have the average price
(or what ever price you set it as) put in the box while adding items like brickOwl
does. I also love how brickOwl has the option to add the same part in multiple
colors at the same time and I really wish Bricklink had the same! I also like
it that if I posted a suggestion in the BrickOwl Forum for a new seller feature,
it would be done in a matter of a few minutes (most likely). I hope this seller
feature suggestion can be acted upon quickly and not years later to never.

Dear bricklink development team,

Currently the "Part Out Value" page shows the value in average, which may not
be accurate if any seller posts an item with very high, or inaccurate price.

To better represent the part out value of a set, we need to add the following
additional metrics:
1. Standard deviation of the Average value shown
2. Median value
3. Breakdown list of all items with the above metrics for each item. Additionally
we would like to see the count for each item.

Thanks

So we all have want lists, right?

Wouldn't it be cool to be able to take a want list and instead of looking
for stores that have all the individual parts, do a search against "sets" or
multiples of sets that have all the parts on a want list.

Everything needed to make this tool already exists on Bricklink.
Parts want list - check
Sets, parts inventory - check (the part out tool)

This function could be added to the Buy section like the distillers to get from
the fewest stores, or best price etc - add sets to buy that have all the parts.

Then a shopper could shop for complete sets to buy from sellers or determine
that they already have the sets in their own collection to build the MOC they
are shopping for pieces for.

Example: I bought the instructions for the UCS U-wing project by Mirko (Awesome
MOC by the way and beautiful instruction book)
uploaded the parts list 430 different parts 3300 pieces total.
I would love to know if I could buy 4-5 sets to get all the parts I need to build
the UCS U-wing project and the extra pieces could go in my collection. Certainly
there would be a handful of random special pieces to buy separately but it would
be cool to have the option of buying a few complete sets to get the majority
of the parts.

Just a thought and the development cost would be minimal since the hard parts
(set part inventories & want lists) already exist.
