  Hello,

I recently purchased the "SDCC2018-2: Black Lightning" set. I then went on Brickset
to add it to my collection, but no minifig is listed for the set. I proceeded
to send them a message so they could fix this error, but they told me they rely
on Bricklink for their minifig inventory.
That's why I'm posting a message here. I noticed that there are two entries
for Black Lightning on Bricklink : comcon056-1 for the full set and sh521 for
the minifig. But these two entries are not linked one to another.
Could someone in the admin team link them?

Thanks a lot!

Is the minifig all there is in the set? It doesn't look like there are any
accessories.

If it is just the minifig, go to https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvAdd.asp?viewType=S

Under manual add, type comcon056 and then 1 in number of entries. Then hit "Go
to step 2".

On the next page, change the P to M under item type, type sh521 under item number,
0 under color ID, and 1 under quantity. Further down, set Source? to Sealed
Set Contents and hit Verify Items. On the next page click Add Inventory.

It is pretty easy, but I can't do it for you, because the person who does
it is attesting that they have the item and can verify its contents. So you
can do it.

Thanks very much, just did it!

Just noticed it's the same for Sheriff Deadpool with comcon055-1 for the
set and sh520 for the minifig

I agree completely with all of you, my suggestion is just a suggestion, it doesn't
have to be implemented tomorrow.
Bricklink works very well for me so I don't really see what you want to improve,
but I don't use this website that much and I understand it's not perfect.
Thanks for your input!

How about getting BrickLink right before going off in other directions?


Not necessarily a bad idea, although I would have no interest in off-brand collectibles
and anything other than LEGO should be marketed on a completely different website.

More than agreed +++++

I agree.

Currently (and in my opinion) here is not enough customer support to get this
site working properly. If they would have to divide attention to several subsites,
then customer support would be even more understaffed and overloaded.

I think I proposed blocklink in the past

While today Playmobil is more and more going Fisher Price-y, I think the old
sets were much more creative. For exeample, I'm a medieval/knights collector
and the possibilities are endless with the sets from the 90s and noughties, especially
regarding castle building.
I agree completely that Lego and Playmobil are not the same, I never implied
that. That's why I talked about separating the two marketplaces in the event
a marketplace for Playmobil with a Bricklink-style framework is ever created.

  I have to say that it is not even to be considered. At a time when we are trying
to escape the Megabricks, Sluban and others out of the mind of kids and creation,
Playmobil does not offer the same as LEGO. LEGO is the genesis of building and
assembling in its own style. Playmobil does not. Yes, Playmobil are solid and
last for long. Ebay and LeBonCoin.fr can do the job for them.

Yes, I like that idea! Because Bricklink is definitely very well-organized and
clear, so why not use that framework for more collectibles ?

  Perhaps BrickLink could add sub-BrickLinks, similar to Reddits sub-Reddits.
Providing links on the main site, but making sure they are separate from the
actual Lego Brand items.

Thanks for your input!

  It would be good to have the ability to switch from one site to another, if only
to check which manufacturer a particular part came from.

I like the idea of a site for each or a combined site for less popular brands,
some are very collectable e.g. Kiddicraft.

Others have proposed they should all be sold here, that's why you might get
a frosty response from some who like me don't want this site changed in that
way.
Once they understand what you are proposing some may see the possibilities.

website (I did mention the names playmolink or kilcklink, if you readproperly)
and I think it should. Or there could be a button on the top of the website to
switch from the Lego version to the Playmobil version, for example.
That's it really, nobody is going to soil your precious Lego with all these
disgusting Playmobil.

Hello,

I hope someone from the Bricklink team reads me.
Here is my suggestion: why not expand Bricklink towards Playmobil products?
While the AFOP community isn't quite as vibrant as the AFOL community, there
are many adult fans of Playmobil out there (including me) who have been sharing
and buying/selling for years now on different internet forums. We even have our
own sets/parts database at playmodb.org
But this community lacks a global and well-organized marketplace like Bricklink.
So why not expand? It would be a bit of work from the Bricklink team's part,
but adapting Bricklink's framework to Playmobil products should be doable,
especially if you use the playmodb database which would spare you quite some
trouble. And it ultimately would mean more money for you.
I'd very much like you to consider this project. If playmolink or klicklink
or whatever its name was ever created, I'd certainly be the first to set
up shop and do publicity on your behalf to the AFOP community.
Thank you for your attention and have a nice day
