Hello,

It's been interesting seeing the various initiatives that LEGO's marketing
team have pursued since taking over the site (MOC shop, BDP program) etc.

The compliance work around taxation is also good to see.

However, I believe the majority of visitors to the site are here for the parts
marketplace, particularly the non-XP experience, and unfortunately it appears
that this has been left with zero allocation of developer time for feature enhancements,
just basic maintenance and bug fixes.

While I don't want to share exact numbers, I will say that by selling on
multiple platforms since before the takeover, we have observed a significant
and increasing decline in Bricklink's marketshare amongst part buyers, as
it's competition has continued to improve upon the core marketplace experience,
while the Bricklink team are distracted.

I'm sure that the marketing team has more ideas up their sleaves, but I hope
that they are also able to recognise the importance of improving upon the core
experience to protect their investment.

Thanks
